Pdp been milking this country! Alhamdulilah for buhari.
deantimes:
NIGERIA'S anti-graft commission, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday grilled the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ali Modu Sheriff, for about seven and a half hours over the N40 million campaign fund he received for former President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection bid.



Sheriff, as reported on Wednesday, was invited by the EFCC to appear before its operatives at its Maiduguri, Borno State office.

He was said to have arrived at the office at about 10am.

He was only released on administrative bail at about 5:30pm after he agreed to refund the N40 million he was given for the election.

The money was part of the $115 million released by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Deziani Alison-Madueke, through Fidelity Bank Plc, to major actors in the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission for the reelection bid of Jonathan.

The money was said to have been converted to Naira by the now sacked Managing Director/CEO of Fidelity Bank, Nnamdi Okonkwo.

It came to about N23.3 billion at the time.
The money was given to Sheriff by Mohammed Wakil, who received N450 million on behalf of the PDP in Borno State.

A statement by the Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the development.

Uwujaren said in the statement: “A former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Shariff, was grilled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Maiduguri zonal office on Wednesday for his involvement in sharing the sum of N40m.

“Investigation is ongoing as Shariff is answering questions in the EFCC office at the time of writing this report.”

I have a different side to this - let's assume the monies came from a credible source and was given to them for campaign purposes-- so these men pocketed these monie to ensure that the election was lost. What a bunch of thrives and conspirators, pls return all those monies.

Where are the abobaku of witch hunt, who always refer to trial as witch hunt. The funny part is they are the one also condemning bad roads and poor health care after celebrating looters.

My brother I tire for this country o! Is it enough for him to just say he will return the money, shouldn't he be punished for taking it in the first place.

THE. SOURCE OF THIS NEWS IS NOT CREDIBLE....though happy to hear him returning our money stolen....my question to this corruption thing is that why not go for the main YAM sharer MADUAKE and save us all this story or long time digging n findings. If she's arrested I'm sure she will give names of all the beneficiary of our YAM.

If u catch the big fish in opposition 2019 is unopposed for apc

Again the question is the money used by apc is coming from where?

Am not against fighting corruption though but I believed it should be holistic

It is getting clearer now.

President Buhari and Former President Jonathan had been having series of unending meetings. I can see clearer why that is.

A lot of politicians (PDP) in the last election duped former president Jonathan, in the name of lining up support for his re-election. From the south to the north to the west and east. It made GEJ look like a fool, because they took his money and did nothing for him. Upon losing the election, it became impossible for GEJ to say return my money.

In my mind, I think GEJ has given an extensive list of these people with evidence to President Buhari. In time to come, nearly all of them will have to refund money they took from GEJ without working for it.

This may also form part of the peace agreement reached between GEJ and PMB and brokered by General Abdulsalami Abubakar for GEJ to be excluded from any probe.

It looks like it to me.

Well, he received money to run an election campaign (whether he did run the campaign or not is another issue). So it is the source of the money who should be held liable (Dieziani).

Sheriff or whatever , should return everything he received . What is 40million to compare with 450million naira .
I hope the writer did not make mistake .
Let him return all the money and also be sentenced to jail term .
Is like EFCC is soft pedalling with their looting cases .
Whatever you collect must be returned followed by the punishment.
