Despite being unable to pay civil servants in some of their
states, the 21 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, on Saturday night donated N1.05 billion to their party
ahead of the 2015 elections.
The governor’s donation was part of the N21.2 billion
raised by the party at its fund raising dinner held at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Punch Newspapers quotes Isa Yuguda, the Bauchi State
governor, as saying each of the PDP governors donated N50
million to arrive at N1.05 billion. In several states,
including PDP-controlled states like Benue and Akwa Ibom,
thousands of civil servants have not been paid salaries;
sometimes for up to four months. Mr. Yuguda did not
comment on why the governors felt more obliged to donate
funds to the party when workers were yet to be paid.
Apart from the governors, other major donors at the
dinner include Tunde Ayeni, the chairman of Skye Bank,
who PREMIUM TIMES had reported recently as leading a
consortium to purchase the former national carrier, NITEL ,
and its mobile subsidiary, MTEL. Mr. Ayeni, who was
chairman of the occasion, donated N2 billion. He
announced that he was donating N1 billion on behalf of
himself and his partner and another billion on behalf of
his friends.
Also at the event, a former Information Minister, Jerry
Gana, announced a donation of N5 billion on behalf of his
friends and associates in the power sector.
Other major donors as reported by Punch Newspapers
include players in the Oil and Gas sector – N5 billion;
players in Real Estate and Building – N4 billion; Transport
and Aviation – N 1billion; Food and Agriculture – N500
million; Power – N500 million; Construction – N310 million;
Road Construction – N250 million; National Automative
Association – N450 million; Shelter Development Limited –
N250 million; and SIFAX group – N100 million.
However, the chief fund raiser, Aliko Dangote, did not
make any donation as his representative at the event,
Joseph Makoju, announced he had no mandate to make
one. He said Mr. Dangote would contact the PDP leadership
about his donation once he arrives in the country.
At the event, the PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu,
announced that the money would be used to complete the
party’s headquarters in Abuja and also run its affairs.
Mr. Mu’azu and President Goodluck Jonathan appealed to
members who lost various primaries not to leave the PDP
but work with the winners for the 2015 elections.
“If out of anger or frustration, you leave the party because
you didn’t get what you wanted, then you are not
contributing to the growth of democracy,” Mr. Jonathan
said.
