Reports are emerging that some N-Power beneficiaries claim the Department of State Services (DSS) may have summoned their Adamawa State chairman after the group allegedly threatened to withdraw support from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over unpaid stipends.
The claim comes from a statement attributed to the Office of the National Publicity Secretary of the beneficiaries’ group, which reportedly issued the message following a 10-day ultimatum to the Federal Government.
According to the statement, the DSS invitation is said to have followed a press release warning that continued delays in stipend payments could prompt beneficiaries to reconsider their political support.
“The Department of State Services (DSS), after seeing our press release threatening to withdraw support for the APC within the next 10 days if our stipends are not paid, appears to believe that we are being influenced by opposition politicians,” the statement reportedly said.
The group also stressed that their position is independent of political influence, describing the move as a reflection of the frustration of over 1.5 million beneficiaries reportedly affected by unpaid stipends.
It is important to note that this report has not been independently verified, and the DSS or APC have not issued official statements regarding the claims.
