The People's Democratic party, Felix Obuah,  made a statement on wednesday condemning the account given by the former information commissioner of Rivers state, Ibim Semenitari on the alleged N82 million spent in honouring Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka.

PM News reports that the account given by a former Rivers State commissioner has been described by Peoples Democratic Party as been "hollow and childish".

According to a statement made by Beke Anyalewechi on behalf of the former commissioner,  the N82 million was used for  dance drama by the university of Portharcourt Arts village, Great Singha and his highlife band, set design, stage lightening and costume design, Custom design and stage property, dinner, transportation and accommodation of guests from outside Nigeria and outside Rivers state, decorations, travels and logistics etc.

The Party(PDP) said that Soyinka had allowed his name to be used to steal public funds paid by taxpayers and should be accounted for.
