The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has declared that it no longer has money to complete its multi-billion naira new national secretariat.
The new secretariat is located at the Central Business District, Abuja.
When PUNCH visited the site on Wednesday, there was no visible job being done there.
It was gathered that the project was billed to cost N11.5bn when it was awarded some years ago.
Once completed, the building will comprise 12 floors, including a parking space in two floors.
But Metuh said the party hope of completing the secretariat lies on its ability to secure the services of a developer that would handle it, with an agreement on how it would recoup its money.
Metuh also debunked the rumour making the rounds that members of the National Working Committee of the party got a huge sum of money from the fund realised for its Presidential campaign early in the year.
He said, “During our sales of forms, we had planned to use substantial part of the money to complete the secretariat.
