Daniel Bwala, spokesperson for the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign council, has filed a suit against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, over alleged N120 million debt.

Bwala said he is being owed legal fees for services rendered to the party.

In the suit marked CV/2009/2023 and filed before a federal capital territory (FCT) high court, Bwala is praying the court for an order compelling the APC and its chairman to pay him the 120m debt and another N25m as cost of the suit.

He also prayed the court to compel the defendants to pay 10 percent interest on the judgment sum until it is liquidated.

“The claimant took steps to file all court processes, appeared in all the cases, both within and outside jurisdiction (Abuja, Osun state, Cross River state, Kaduna state, Benue state and Ondo state) and prosecuted the cases diligently to their logical conclusion,” the court document reads.

“That the claimant sent progress reports to the defendants on every occasion any of the matters came up in court.”

The claimant said the fees for the nine concluded cases handled by his firm, Crystal Chambers, summed up to N135 million out of which the defendants have paid N15 million.
