N3bn misappropriation allegations claims baseless, untrue – PASAN
By Francesca Hangeior
The leadership of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), National Assembly Chapter, has strongly refuted allegations of misappropriating N3 billion in union funds.
The PASAN Chairman, Comrade Sunday Sabiyyi, alongside the association’s Secretary, Comrade David Ann Ebizimoh, dismissed the claims as frivolous, baseless, and defamatory in a statement issued over the weekend in Abuja.
The accusations were initially made by a PASAN member, Yusuf Abiola, who, during a press conference, demanded audited financial statements and operational reports from the union’s executive from 2019 to date.
In response, Comrade Sabiyyi assured the public that the NASS PASAN Executive Council has always adhered to constitutional procedures, maintaining transparency and accountability in managing the association’s finances.
He emphasized that all funds have been appropriately used for the benefit of members, with accurate records maintained.
Sabiyyi also highlighted the impossibility of the alleged N3 billion being generated by the union, including contributions from its 36 State Chapters and the FCT Zone.
He urged members of PASAN and the public to dismiss the claims as a form of blackmail intended to distract the union from its mandate.
He attributed the allegations to disgruntled members who lost in the previous union elections and reaffirmed the executive’s commitment to addressing members’ concerns and implementing reforms for the betterment of the association.

Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, paid a visit to former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), at his residence in Minna, Niger State.
In a post shared on his X account on Thursday, Obi confirmed the visit, which followed his earlier meeting with Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi.
The discussions with IBB reportedly centered on national issues, with Obi also taking the opportunity to wish the elder statesman a happy new year.
Describing Babangida as a “father figure” and “wise man,” Obi expressed his admiration for the former leader’s insights and guidance.
He wrote:
“From Jigawa State, I traveled to Minna, Niger State to pay a visit to a father figure, elder statesman, and leader, the former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, at his residence in Minna. The visit was an opportunity to wish him a happy New Year and to exchange thoughts on national issues.
“General Babangida’s wisdom and perspectives remain very important, and I always deeply appreciate the chance to visit him and listen to his invaluable advice and words of wisdom.
“A new Nigeria is POssible!”
