President Jonathan’s Kinsmen Feud In Court Over N155 Election Largesse

A N155 million-election largess is at the center of a fierce legal battle between two members of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Ijaw ethnic group, SaharaReporters has learned.
Wisdom Oniekpar Ikuli, the national director of mobilization and chairman of the Action Committee of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), has sued Azibaola Robert, a lawyer and managing director/chief executive of Kakaatar Engineering Limited, formerly known as Mangrovetech Engineering Limited. The defendant is also the founder of the Good House as well as initiator of the #TheGoodluckThumb, a pro Jonathan campaign group.

Mr. Ikuli’s lawsuit, which is filed at an Abuja High Court, alleges breach of contract by Mr. Robert. The lawsuit has been scheduled for hearing on Thursday May 28,
2015.

The lawsuit seeks arose out of a dispute between the two men over payment for political services that Mr. Ikuli asserts he fulfilled, accusing the defendant of failing to pay him. The plaintiff is asking the high court to order Mr. Robert to pay him N155 million, being the reported value of their contract.

Mr. Ikuli’s associate told our correspondent that Mr. Robert, one of the closest allies of President Jonathan, received more than N20 billion to run the president’s reelection campaign.

Mr. Ikuli accuses the defendant of using him and other groups as stooges, without releasing what was due to them. “This is one of the major reasons behind the failure of Mr. President in the just-concluded presidential election,” said our source. He added: “Most of his trusted friends and allies betrayed him by refusing to release monies that were entrusted to them. The same thing happened in 2011. After the victory of Mr. President, the over 3000 pro-Jonathan supporters were abandoned, only to be called upon again in 2015.”
