Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Chief Olu Falae, has admitted that he collected N100 million from the former chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). New Telegraph had exclusively reported yesterday that a former SGF and erstwhile governor in the South-West got N100 million each from the N260 million given to Anenih by the office of the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

Falae told New Telegraph yesterday that the money was purely an interparty affair between the PDP and the Social Democratic Party (SDP), which he is the National Chairman. The former presidential candidate said the money was given to the SDP to effectively campaign for the PDP in the 2015 presidential election. According to him, in the build up to the 2015 general elections, the PDP and SDP entered into working agreement.

His words: “In the build up to the presidential election, the PDP approached the SDP which I chaired. The then ruling party solicited for our support in order for President Goodluck Jonathan to win the March 28 presidential election. “Anenih related with me as the chairman of the PDP BoT and I did same as the SDP National Chairman. He wrote to me as PDP BoT chairman and I wrote back as SDP National Chairman stating conditions/terms for the alliance.

I have the record. “It is true that N100 million was given to my party to endorse and work for the Jonathan’s candidature in the 2015 election. We used the money for that purpose and we effectively campaigned for the PDP since we did not have presidential candidate in the election. The money was not for me.

“Thank God I’m a retired civil servant. I have all the documents to prove all that transpired between the two parties.” The former Finance Minister stated that there was no way he could know that the money was from arms fund. “With all the money PDP has and having spent 16 years in power, how would I know that the money was from the arms deal? No reference was made to the arms deal. So, they should not bring me into the arms issue.

The relationship was purely interparty affairs,” Falae told New Telegraph. New Telegraph exclusively reported that Anenih, in his letter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), stated that the former SGF and ex-governor’s groups were given N100 million each in the build up to the 2015 presidential election.

New Telegraph also reported that another group from Katsina State got N35 million, while Second Republic Presidential Adviser on National Assembly, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, got N63 million from Anenih. Anenih, in the letter addressed to the EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, stated that the money was transferred to him on the instruction of former President Goodluck Jonathan for specific assignments.

In the letter, Anenih stated that he spent over N441 million far above the N260 million he received from the NSA. The former PDP BoT chair stated that the beneficiaries of the money acknowledged the receipt. In an interview with New Telegraph, Yakassai explained how he and other members of his group spent the money collected from Anenih. Yakassai told New Telegraph that the said fund was for peace advocacy to traditional rulers in the North.

The former Special Adviser to former President Shehu Shagari on National Assembly Liaison noted that: “The money was given in two tranches. The money was given to us around middle of January 2015, and we concluded the tour, middle of February.

“The EFCC has not invited me or talked to me, there are many of us in the committee that they have mentioned. I will not mention the exact amount until we get to court. It’s not N63 million,” he said. Speaking exclusively to New Telegraph yesterday, Yakassai said he was not aware that the fund sent to the group that he led was from the arms deal procurement, adding that he will not mention the exact amount he collected on behalf of the group until the issue gets to court.

According to Yakassai, “The money Anenih gave to me was to energise a group who appointed me to be their leader and the money was for us to go and meet with traditional rulers in all the 19 states of northern Nigeria and appeal to them to be sure that the election was conducted in a peaceful atmosphere

. “There were nine of us, eight of us as members, then my personal assistant. We met with traditional rulers in each of the states in the North. The money was for the allowance of the members of the team, their accommodation and transportation. But on our own, whenever we visit any traditional ruler, we give some gifts. But that was out of our own volition.”

Meanwhile, operatives of the EFCC, on Wednesday night, arrested a former Military Administrator of Kaduna State, Brigadier-General Lawal Jafaru Isa (rtd), at his Abuja residence. A source at the commission’s headquarters said Isa, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was alleged to have benefited from the $2.1 billion arms scandal. Isa, who held sway in Kaduna State between December 1993 and August 1996, was still being interrogated as at the time of filing this report.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest of the retired military officer to New Telegraph.

The latest arrest came few hours after the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Magu, had hinted that more prominent Nigerians would soon be arrested in connection with the arms scandal. “More influential Nigerians are on the radar of the EFCC and, in the coming weeks, they would have their days in court and Nigerians will be kept fully abreast of the results of the Commission’s investigations.

“New Telegraph’s investigation revealed that the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, was still being held by the anti-graft agency. Metuh is being grilled over alleged discovery of N1.4 billion “turnover” in a company he is said to have links with.

The EFCC had quizzed, detained and charged some high profile individuals to court, former Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, ex-minister of State for Finance, Ambassador Bashir Yuguda, and the founder of Daar Communications Plc., Chief Raymond Dokpesi.

Olee everywhere.

It go too clear for him eye soon .
Prepare to dance shoki under EFCC custody.

While BH was having a field day with people's lives, these 'elder statesmen' were busy enjoying arms money from Dasuki. No wonder they all prefered 'transformation' over change.

Ridiculous stealing

Nawa o. Even Olu Falae ate N100million yam . Chai, nobody can be trusted again. So, political parties now do inter-party transfer with funds meant for National security? After PDP thieves have taken their full share, they transferred some to SDP and this hungry old man with no credibility and principle. EFCC, over to you. He must vomit every kobo of the N100million.

The former
presidential candidate said the money was given to the SDP to effectively campaign for the PDP in the 2015 presidential election.

Awon Afenifebi! , Agbaya onijekuje, alajebanu.... major disappointments they are,even if they had no presidential candidate, we're they suppose to receive cash for support

Yinka Odumakin, Pa Fasoranti, Segun Osoba + the OPC duo of Gani Adams & Frederick Faseun (musiwa419 thx)will soon be called to explain!!

Who didn't know what they were up to when they were campaigning vehemently against "Change"

But for Falae, one thought he was still smarting from Jagaban pulling out of AD(ensuring its demise) & is only refusing to support him simply on ideology!!! .. mehn I still gat a lot to learn!!!

back to back sharing
BTW how many members dey for SDP?

Jonathan and his aids Smh

Where was I when these people were butchering the elephant self?

La wa o, see how these people killed the economy. No wonder the idiot was kidnapped.

This is the reason why the old fool stage managed his alleged kidnap.

It was all a ploy to destabilise the government and cause enmity between Yorubas and Hausas.

The report also referred to an ex governor in the SW, that is certainly Segun Osoba

Useless Greedy old men

@ theV0ice, now this is a "source" to take seriously. But the old man says the money came from Anenih. If he didn't get it from the ONSA, then I see no reason he should be vilified. Much as we desire to see a total cleansing of the system, we should be careful not to persecute innocent folks who collected monies to prosecute their party's agenda by way of campaigning- all parties spend money to campaign.

True bro...but Anenih in his best seller released 2 days ago admitted Dasuki gave him 260million yams from the yams meant to buy catapults and knockouts for our men hunting the virgin chasers so....

Bros pls let us think am na

N100 million inter party arrangement . That is the payment made to Falae alone, we don't know how much Osoba etc collected. Did they notify their party members? As required by the electoral act, did they include these inter party money transfers in their financial statement report?

This is a clear case of misappropriation of national funds.

It is now an open secret that every secessionist directly or indirectly benefited from the arm deals.
Mathematically :
Arm deals (Ad) = Dasukigate (Dg)
Dasukigate (Dg) = PDP campaign fund (Pcf)
PDP campaign fund(Pcf) = PDP $upporters (P$)
PDP supporters (P$) = Secessionist (S)
Therefore Ad = S, provided S = ipob + Afenifere

From reference that ipob + Afenifere = Fortunato
Note that ipob is <benefits &
Afenifere is >benefits QED

Good morning to you too.. the meanings are not going to be literal cos of syntatic distinctions between both languages but make I try (for you )


Afenifebi is creative licence/wordplay on AFENiFERE, it means to wish evil as against afenifere which is to wish well.

Agbaya -- old fool

Onijekuje - greedy fellow

Alajebanu-- indiscriminate glutton ..

Sorry to go that low, but the man is a major personal disappointment cos I queued in the sun for him in 1999 under AD despite knowing it was of no use...

I'm gutted! Sincerely!!

I think Baba Falae decided to speak up when he saw that the Efcc chairman went to see PMB in the villa with some files

I just don't want us to jump the gun here, that's what I'm saying. Let the anti graft agency connect their dots and present us a vivid image of how complicit Falae is.

Bros, I dey fear who no dey fear you and the way you reason.

This #Dasukigate reminds me of a particular scene in Baba Wande's legendary movie "Ti Oluwa N'ile." In the said clip, Aderupoko a morgue attendant was being questioned by the hospital management about his unholy and corrupt practices of selling corpses in the morgue. At a point he said, "O maa gbo'ga; gbogbo won ni n j'alubosha." So Baba Falae too dey chop 'alubosa' even at his age.

Imagine the irony of life. While some elders like Buhari are pained by the wanton corruption in the land, some others like Falae, Anenih, Yakassai want the corruption to continue unabated. No wonder their foolish endorsements and unnecessary heating up of the polity before the elections. They know that there won't be free money. Woe unto elders that do not think about the future of their children and children' children for a bowl of porridge. O ga o.

I understand your position

I really hope the EFCC investigates Falae and co

If you remember , Falae was involved in a fake kidnap episode just after Buhari won the elections. It was all a set up to cause ethnic war in the country. That in itself is treasonable.

These old men are very corrupt and wicked. All these inter party fund transfer Happened During the two weeks GEJ came to stay in Lagos to distribute money like Father Xmas

The problem sir is not about funds for campaign but the source of the money, is it from the office of dasuki or not, directly or indirectly.

I think at this juncture there should be a national consensus that those who collected money from dasuki directly or indirectly should return the money that was given whether it was a donation, campaign funds, suvs or whatever.

Let all monies in form of gifts, campaign funds, suvs e.t.c. proven to be from the ONSA be returned for morality sake.

We need to start setting moral codes for ourselves as a nation if we are truly serious.

No wonder the Odumakins [husband and wife] have been quiet for a while now, They really had a lot of pounded yam for themselves

You are correct.

Now a lot of things are making sense.

Immediately Buhari won the elections, there was a coordinated media attack on PMB. This was led by Odunmakin, Metuh, FFK, Fayose

One is in EFCC custody, two are under investigation. Odunmakin is next
