Mr Buni added that the inherited legal fee was brought down to N179 million after negotiations.
“Among other achievements in the CECPCs administration of the party, the National Chairman informed the President that the CECPC inherited liability of unpaid legal fees to the tune of N340 million, but successfully negotiated and brought down the fees to N179 million which is now fully paid.
“Also, with respect to court cases bordering on CECPCs legitimacy and election-related matters, the National Chairman informed the President that the party secured a judgment affirming the legality of the CECPC,” the statement by John James Akpanudoedehe the party’s interim national secretary read.
