The Peoples Democratic Party and two officials of its Presidential campaign organisation, have been sued by a firm, Silon Concepts Limited, for their alleged refusal to pay an outstanding N70m balance for a campaign contract.

The firm filed a suit marked CV/2017/15 before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja on Thursday., June 3.

Silcon Concepts is demanding full payment for the ‘voice SMS campaign broadcast’ ‎it sent out to voters on behalf of the PDP’s Presidential candidate, former President Goodluck Jonathan, before the March 28, 2015 Presidential poll.

The two other members of the ‎campaign organisation who are defendants in the case are; the chairman, Ahmadu Ali, and director of finance, Senator Nenadi Usman.

Apart from the N70m balance, the plaintiff asked the court to compel the defendants to also pay N15m, which is the cost of the suit.

The plaintiff’s suit had read: “An order compelling the defendants to pay the plaintiff the sum of N70m being the outstanding balance for the contract executed by the plaintiff for the defendants.

“An order compelling the defendants to pay N15m being the cost of the suit. An or‎der compelling the defendants to pay the bank an annual interest rate of 10 per cent on the sum of N70m until the said sum is fully liquidated.”
