Pdp Corruption Of The Nigerian Political Process, Now In Full Swing by Nobody: 11:17am On Oct 28, 2010
Global Information System, a privately run thinktank of retired U.S. military strategists, has published a report attacking the government of Goodluck Jonathan for the “corruption of the Nigerian political process, now in full swing.”

The report, published on the rightwing website WorldTribune, alleges that “major payments are now being made to each of the delegates of the political parties, particularly the overwhelmingly large ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP), who decide the primary elections which then select the party candidate for the presidential elections in 2011."

"Moreover,” the report claims, “the incumbent President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, is bribing PDP delegates out of Federal Government funds, making most of the party delegates wealthy enough to buy a new home with the bribery funds."

After hanging out all the sins of the process and party members, the report offers up one Northern prospect for the top job “who has never engaged in private business, including receiving payments from oil allocations.” This former security advisor with a squeaky clean slate is Aliyu Gasau.

A top Jonathan aide, who did not want to be named, dismissed the report as the handiwork of General Gusau who, he said, hired GIS to launder his image and create an appearance of lack of support for Jonathan in the north.

"Essentially, General Gusau has worked with these defense contractors all over Israel and the US and they feel compelled to help sell his candidacy so that he can open Nigeria to US defense contractors if he wins and becomes president.”

The report broke down the number of delegates for the 36 states plus the federal capital territory Abuja, and their cash presents.

"There are some three delegates for each local government council, and some of the 36 states (plus the Federal Territory of Abuja) have, for example, up to 40 or more local government bodies. The incumbent President's own state, Bayelsa, has only a few, but with each delegate being offered multiple cash payments of up to two-million naira (appr. $13,300) for his vote, the total bill runs into billions of naira."

Speaking to Saharareporters from Alexandria, Viriginia, author Gregory Copley who writes under a variety of corporate identities, admitted that he knew General Gusau for close to 30 years but denied any conflict of interest. He directed us to reports that had been written in the past which were complimentary of Jonathan in the past. But a Jonathan supporter said those times that GIS wrote favorable reports about Jonathan , it done so, mostly in support of Gusau as the National security adviser.
