Some politicians and members of former
President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign
organisation who were given money to campaign
for the ex-president have threatened to implicate
the ex-President if they are arrested by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The EFCC had last week alleged that some
directors of the Peoples Democratic Party
Campaign Organisation and some ex-ministers
received N3.145bn during the campaign. The
money, according to the anti-graft agency,
emanated from the account of the Central Bank of
Nigeria.
The commission said the Director of Publicity of
the organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, received
N840m; a former Secretary to the Government of
the Federation and National Chairman of the Social
Democratic Party, Chief Olu Falae, received
N100m; while N320m was also paid into the
bank account of the Goodluck Support Group, an
association which played a major role in
Jonathan’s campaign.
The EFCC had also said that a former Governor of
Imo State, Achike Udenwa, and a former Minister
of State for Foreign Affairs, Viola Onwuliri, got
N350m in two tranches while the Director of
Finance of the campaign organisation, Nenadi
Usman, got N36.9m.
The commission, it was reported, was extending
its probe to all PDP governorship candidates who
also received money from the same account.
The EFCC explained that monies were transferred
from the account of the CBN to a Federal
Government account from which the money was
transferred to the account of Joint Trust
Dimension Nigeria Limited.
It was from the Joint Dimension’s account with
Zenith Bank that the money was shared to various
individuals and campaign organisations
inaugurated by Jonathan.
The two people who were in charge of funds were
the Director of Finance, Nenadi Usman, and a
former Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees,
Chief Tony Anenih, who played an advisory role.
It was also Anenih who insisted that Falae be
given N100m.
Some of the groups that received money from the
account were the Transformation Ambassadors of
Nigeria, the Goodluck Support Group and the
zonal chapters of the Goodluck Jonathan
Campaign Organisation.
Some political parties that also collected money
from Jonathan are the SDP and Accord Party
through Chief Falae and former Governor Rashidi
Ladoja respectively.
However, some of those indicted by the EFCC
have vowed not to go down without a fight.
They told our correspondent that they received
the monies based on the assumption that they
were not public funds.
A former minister under Jonathan, who was part
of the campaign team, said, “Jonathan is
beginning to annoy all of us because we are being
dragged through the mud and he is keeping quiet.
When we were given the monies, we were told that
they were sourced from private individuals.
“Now, the EFCC has stated that the money came
from the account of the CBN and the EFCC has
also provided evidence that the monies came
from the CBN and the agency has told us to
refund the monies. We have spent everything on
campaigns.
“We are being disgraced on the pages of
newspapers and yet Jonathan is keeping quiet. I
am not a military man like Sambo Dasuki. I
cannot spend weeks in custody. If I am arrested, I
will let the whole of Nigeria know that Jonathan
was the one that gave me the funds. Let Jonathan
return the money. I cannot pay for another
person’s sins.”
Another PDP chieftain told our correspondent that
apart from the CBN, other government agencies
such as Nigerian Maritime Administration and
Safety Agency, the Office of the National Security
Adviser and the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation all provided funds for the Jonathan
campaign.
He said, “Dasuki never acted alone. The
Department of State Services knows that he got
Jonathan’s approval. His trial is being stalled
because of what he knows. The CBN also had
approvals from Jonathan. The CBN transferred
these funds based on a memo signed by the
former Permanent Secretary at the Villa.
“Let the EFCC go after Jonathan if they want the
monies back. We cannot refund what we did not
steal.”
A former presidential aide who is also being
investigated by the EFCC told our correspondent
that if the anti-graft agency arrested every person
connected with the monies and Jonathan was left
alone, then it would be a selective anti-corruption
war.
He said, ““Maybe it is time for some of us to
testify against Jonathan and expose everything.
He and his Presidency officials did all these things
without us knowing and now instead of owning up
and taking full responsibility for his actions he
wants to leave the innocent hanging.
“He doesn’t care whose life is destroyed. He only
cares about himself and whatever deal he has
with Buhari. The former NSA is suffering because
of him. Olisa Metuh is suffering because if him.
The DG NIMASA is suffering because of him.
Diezani is suffering because of him and so many
others.
“Everything they did was with his approval and
permission yet he has now left them to hang all
alone. How can he sleep well at night? Now he
wants to sacrifice his entire campaign
organisation and the strongest directors that he
has even though they did nothing wrong and they
were not part of his scam.
“We warned Anenih, Fani-Kayode, Ahmadu Alli,
Nenadi Usman and all the others not to stick their
necks out for Jonathan and not to help him but
they wouldn’t listen. Even Obasanjo called some
of them and warned them that he is concealing a
lot from them about his actions and funding and
that he would betray them but they didn’t listen
or believe him. Now look at the mess they are all
in.”

This is what I call " God for all, all man on his own " When Fashola was telling them then that " You people will account for the money you're spending " some ekpas keep calling him names.

I know some laminated brain will still call this news " Propaganda as usual " just wait and see. You people beats your empty chest then ranting " PMB don't have the balls to arrest Dasuki " Now Dasuki is cooling his a$$ in detention for months now and heaven did not fall. Every yam eaters will enter INBOX and nothing will happen.

Ride on Sai Baba, God is solidly behind you.

And the Propaganda keeps coming.

APC must think all Nigerians are dumb or counting on a sectional dumb population.

And the APC Zombies keep on manufacturing propaganda to deflect from the hardship in the country. Reality is that Buhari has hit an economic dead end. He has run oun out of ideas, hence the daily hiring of misinformers to come up with crap like this one.

Wllnp

Na dem sabi

Na them sabi...... After all Na who dem help?

Lengthy write-up and supposed statements from 'close sources' yet not one name was mentioned. Just statements in quotes that could have been d writer's imagination.

Crap news! Believe at ur detriment.
I support d anti-corruption war but all these newspapers and bloggers should just

Abi..?

And they said Jonathan was a daft.
The guy was watching them in monkey mode.
They never knew he was seeing them as banana and tree .

This is the hand work of faceless people.

If them help am him for no lose election

Everything is propaganda? okay oh. But meanwhile Buhari should always bear in mind that the president that says his followers will not sleep, he too will not sleep.

What else do they want to expose that those who have been arrested did not say.

The truth is, if Buhari truly wants to arrest GEJ he would have done so already with the abundance of evidence he has had from those he has arrested. Are we saying GEJ was truly unaware of the monumental corruption being done by his party members and appointees?

No matter what these guys expose GEJ will continue to walk free.

Laminated brains...

Propaganda propaganda propaganda propaganda propaganda every-day, this govt of president Buhari self, na wetin....

TonyeBarcanista:

This is the reason for the GEJ tragedy. Politics is not where you invest and sit at home awaiting the returns on your investment. It is not OSUSU. You forcefully and, if necessary, brutally demand for returns on your investment. Any crack created by such act can always be patched up when sharing the spoils of war.

Nobody is above the law.

Every news against your hero is propaganda abi?

Sighs.....
The thought of Jonathan kept behind bars...
The thought of Jonathan, out of anger, goes on to expose the 'covered sins' of his predecessors.....
And the reactions (good, bad, ugly) that follow...

Sighs!

EFCC must probe GEJ! In the voice of Ali Ndume, an alleged sponsor of boko haram

Just passing bye

The earlier Nigerians believe we are equal b4 d better. Who does nt know that GEJ embezzled our fund. Except those people that are blinded by interest and sentiment.
We have seen Venezuela, Israel, China, Brazil among others who have prosecuted their former presidents before now.
It is in Nigeria u will see a former president that can never accept to serve Nigerian below presidency level.
While a former Brasilians president was appointed last week as Chief of Staff.
