Dr Reuben Abati the Special adviser to the president on media and publicity released a statement denying the allegations '' the African first ladies peace mission ( AFLPM ) which is holding it's summit in Abuja is a non-governmental (NGO). Stakeholders and members of the private sector, who support and identify with it's objectives are funding it's activities. In accordance with it's modus operandi the AFLPM set up several committees, including a finance committee to raise funds and sponsorsip for the organisation of it's Abuja summit.
As part of it's contribution to the successful hosting of the summit Coscharis Motors offered to provide some cars for the event at no cost to organizers or the Federal government under the agreement signed by the committee and Coscharis, all the cars will be returned to the company after the summit''.
Dr Reuben has told us about the official agreement, what about the ''unofficial arrangement''? Rub my back, I rub yours!
