Classified By: PolCouns Walter Pflaumer for Reasons 1.4 (b, c, & d).

¶1. (S//NF) SUMMARY: Isyaku Ibrahim (strictly protect), a founding member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and PDP Board of Trustees member, but also a strong critic of the party's current ruling group, alleged that President Yar'Adua directed Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to divert $57 million to bribe the five justices of the Presidential Election Tribunal to uphold his April 2007 election.

Ibrahim claimed that, as of February 18, three of the panel,s justices were privately signaling an intention to overturn Yar'Adua's election, and that Attorney General Michael Aondoakaa (and not the justices) in fact drafted the judgment. Ibrahim also asserted that Supreme Court Chief Justice Idris Kutigi told him February 29 the Supreme Court would rule to overturn Yar'Adua's election since it regarded the election as massively rigged and the Tribunal's judgment "embarrassing and pathetic." Ibrahim described the March 8 PDP Convention as a battle of wits between Obasanjo and Yar'Adua, to determine who would emerge as having greater influence within the PDP.

Should Obasanjo's choice, Sam Egwu, emerge the PDP National Chair, Ibrahim argued, it would indicate not only that the PDP remains firmly within Obasanjo's grip, but also that Yar'Adua is a "nobody" within the party.

Ibrahim also believed Yar'Adua may possibly choose former Senate President Pius Anyim for National Chair. Ibrahim said Yar'Adua has authorized the disbursement of $3 million to be dispatched across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones to forestall the possibility of Egwu emerging the victor. Ibrahim also told PolOff that Yar'Adua had met with PDP governors March 3 and would again meet with them March 7, to pressure them to vote against Egwu.

¶2. (S//NF) SUMMARY CONT'D: Ibrahim decried Yar'Adua as a "ruthless, cunning" individual who has done nothing for the Nigerian people since he took office last May. While Ibrahim's antipathy for Obasanjo is well-known, he averred that Yar'Adua was even more "dangerous" and "corrupt" than Obasanjo, and suggested that First Lady Turai Yar'Adua, at the possible behest of President Yar,Adua, controlled access to the President and used it to engage in illicit monetary enrichment. Moreover, Ibrahim confided that in mid-January discussions in Paris, he advised former Head of State Ibrahim Babangida to remain outside Nigeria and not attempt a political comeback since he lacked any significant base of support either within the PDP or the military.

END SUMMARY.

¶3. (S//NF) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Isyaku Ibrahim is the only member of the PDP Board of Trustees who is also a founding member of the party. Representative of the old guard of Nigerian politicians, whose counsel and analysis of Nigerian politics is well-respected and highly sought, he is, nonetheless clearly alienated from the groups currently dominating the party. His insistent calls for greater democracy within the PDP, and public denouncements of Obasanjo's efforts to the contrary since 2006 have earned him both enmity and praise. Ibrahim speaks frankly against what he perceives as a political class interested only in monetary enrichment and power. Ibrahim served as a member of the Nigerian parliament in the First Republic and supported Shehu Shagari's ascension to the presidency in 1979. Ibrahim lives a relatively modest lifestyle, and is chair of Nima Manufacturing Industries Ltd. in Abuja. Born in 1938, Ibrahim credits as a great reformer of Nigeria Mallam Aminu Kano.
END NOTE.

¶4. (S//NF) Founding member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and PDP Board of Trustees member Isyaku Ibrahim (strictly protect) spoke with PolOff March 6. Ibrahim claimed that President Yar'Adua instructed the General Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Abubakar Yar'Adua, on February 20 to release $57 million from the NNPC to Attorney General Aondoakaa. In turn, Ibrahim noted, Aondoakaa would disburse the funds among the five-justice panel of the Presidential Election Tribunal and the Chiefs of Defense and Army Staff. As of February 18, three of the Tribunal's justices, A.A. Jega, Agube Igwe, and Uwani Abba-Aji, had declared privately an intention to overturn Yar'Adua's election, contending the election was massively rigged and flawed. The hurried February 19 announcement of Presidential Election Tribunal Chair James Ogebe's nomination to the Supreme Court, Ibrahim asserted, was a "calculated and deliberate" attempt to provide cover for Ogebe. With Ogebe's nomination pending approval at the Senate, Ibrahim reasoned, Ogebe could recuse himself from the Tribunal and later claim he had nothing to do with the judgment itself. (The Senate confirmed Ogebe's nomination to the Supreme Court March 6.) As well, Ibrahim alleged the Tribunal judgment had been written by Attorney General Michael Aondoakaa. (Comment: While we have maintained that the provisions of the 2006 Electoral Act necessarily make it difficult for any petitioner to prove that electoral malfeasance "substantially" affected the outcome of elections in 2/3 of Nigeria's 36 states, and that that meant a judgment against Yar'Adua's election was unlikely, this is the first allegation we have heard of Yar'Adua directly interfering in the Presidential Election Tribunal process. End Comment.)

¶5. (S//NF) Ibrahim confided that Supreme Court Chief Justice Idris Kutigi told him over a private lunch February 29 that the Supreme Court will overrule the Tribunal's verdict to uphold Yar'Adua's April 2007 election since, according to Kutigi, the Tribunal's judgment was "embarrassing and pathetic." In such an eventuality, Ibrahim stated, the Constitution may be interpreted to suggest that the Senate President would take over as interim president for a period of no more than 90 days. Ibrahim told PolOff that the opposition All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP) and Action Congress have signaled privately that they will not support this reading of the Constitution, particularly if Obasanjo-loyalist and current Senate President David Mark's (PDP) election is upheld at the Court of Appeal.

(The Benue State Election Tribunal overturned Mark's election February 23, ordering elections in two local government areas (LGAs) to be re-run. Mark's opponent Usman Abubakar (ANPP) filed a counter-appeal to Mark's appeal March 3, petitioning the court to declare Abubakar the victor since he had received the greater number of votes across seven LGAs (See Ref A).)

¶6. (S) Note: PolOffs witnessed February 26 at the Presidential Election Tribunal that both Attorney General Aondoakaa and Justice Ogebe's son Emmanuel Ogebe walked through to chambers to meet with the justices (see Ref B). Under law, however, justices must be sequestered during deliberation and especially prior to delivering a judgment. A Reuters foreign correspondent resident in Abuja told PolOff March 2 that a source inside the Villa had read the judgment verbatim to the correspondent February 25 (a day before the actual ruling was delivered). Political Adviser to General Muhammadu Buhari (ANPP), Muhammad Abba (protect), told PolOff February 28 the General had received information from contacts within the Villa on February 24 that the Tribunal would uphold the election. End Note.

¶7. (S//NF) Concerning the scheduled March 8 PDP Convention, Ibrahim told PolOff the convention would be a battle between Obasanjo and Yar'Adua to determine who had greater leverage and influence within the party. Should Obasanjo's choice, Sam Egwu, emerge the PDP National Chair, Ibrahim argued, it would indicate not only that the PDP remains firmly within Obasanjo's grip, but also that Yar'Adua is a "nobody" within the party. While Obasanjo had "blackmailed" several incumbent governors and other PDP stalwarts into supporting his choice for National Chairman, former Ebonyi governor Sam Egwu, Ibrahim claimed Yar'Adua also has been actively campaigning for another candidate, possibly former Senate President Pius Anyim. In concert with Kwara governor Bukola Saraki, Ibrahim said, Yar'Adua has authorized the disbursement of $3 million across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones in an effort to secure support against Obasanjo's choice for national chairman. Ibrahim told PolOff that Yar'Adua had met with PDP governors March 3 and would again meet with them March 7, to pressure them to vote against Obasanjo's choice. Ibrahim also discredited moves by the so-called G-21 and other self-styled "reformists" within the PDP as "business as usual." He claimed that former Senate President Ken Nnamani, alleged leader of the G-21, had entertained ambitions of serving as National Chair of the PDP, but that Ibrahim counseled him against it ) given that Obasanjo would "never allow it to happen." (It was under Ken Nnamani that Obasanjo's 2006 third term bid was quashed by the National Assembly.)

¶8. (S//NF) Ibrahim decried Yar'Adua as a "ruthless, cunning" individual who has done nothing for the Nigerian people since he took office last May. While noting his antipathy for Obasanjo, Ibrahim averred that Yar'Adua was, in his estimation, more "dangerous" and "corrupt" than Obasanjo. Though Ibrahim knew Yar'Adua's elder brother Shehu Yar'Adua, and worked under him, he contended that President Yar'Adua lacked the interest and ability to introduce reforms to the economic and political sector. Ibrahim excoriated Yar'Adua for being interested only in "amassing wealth," and claimed that First Lady Hajiya Turai was responsible for Yar'Adua's corrupt dealings. He alleged that Hajiya Turai ensured the presidential jet was routed through Dubai on their return from China last week in order for the First Lady to shop in the UAE. See also Ref C.

¶9. (S//NF) Moreover, Ibrahim confided that in mid-January discussions in Paris, he advised former Head of State Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) to remain outside Nigeria and not attempt a political comeback. (IBB returned to Nigeria from an extended stay in Paris March 2.) Ibrahim said he exhorted IBB not to meddle into the affairs of the PDP, since the party was on the verge of collapse, and because IBB's political relevance had significantly waned since Obasanjo came to power in 1999. Ibrahim told PolOff, as of March 6, IBB was not backing any candidate for national chairman. As well, Ibrahim surmised that military rulers, essentially, control the reins of government; however, under civilian rule, power appears more diffuse and less vulnerable to unilateral control. Without the support of the military and a significant segment within the PDP, Ibrahim said he suggested to IBB that the political climate in Nigeria at the present time was simply not conducive for his comeback.

¶10. (S//NF) COMMENT: Isyaku Ibrahim is a dispassionate, astute political observer, but whose political projections have not always been on the mark (Ref D); however, he remains a respected and well-informed individual who would most certainly have the inside track on the goings-on of the PDP, Nigerian politics writ large, and particularly the northern political elite. Ibrahim had also backed Obasanjo during his first term, and is arguably viewed as an important figure in Nigerian politics who has chosen to remain outside elected political office especially since Obasanjo came to power. Ibrahim's views on Yar'Adua as more corrupt than Obasanjo are puzzling since he claims no association with Umaru Yar'Adua, though he was closely tied to Yar'Adua's elder brother Shehu. The information alleging the First Lady's illicit enrichment activities tracks with what the Mission has reported; however, his assertion that the First Lady is conducting such activities at the behest, or at least with the President's complicity, is particularly troubling.

END COMMENT. SANDERS

To think this was the man that kept shouting rule of law; may the peace of Allah be upon him.

@OP

The sad thing is that nothing will come out of these wikileaks revelations.

All of our leaders are so Corrupt that the downfall of one will be the end of the others. They are all connected in their looting and evil.

That's why IBB cannot take his fight with OBJ to the end. They both have too much dirt on each other.

The same reason why GEJ and his EFCC will never probe Yar'adua or his so called family and Turai Cabal associates.

Unfortunately, most Nigerians don't read newspapers, use the internet or have the Electricity to watch TV well enough to be thoroughly informed.

If not for visionary and dedicated new generation young Nigerians like Seun Osewa(Nairaland) and Omoyele Sowore (sahara reporters) most of the folks who now come on NL will still be extremely ignorant about what happens daily in Nigerian politics or even about our history.  BTW, I really wish I can help solve whatever disagreement Seun and Sowore seems to have. I digress.

Even most of us with "good" access to internet will be barely aware of anything. I appreciate both of them and others like them.


Nigerians talk politics a lot but those of us living in Nigeria lack the sustained access to information and facts to force to us get angry and act. Government owned media and their payed private journalist agents determine what we hear and the analysis we get. Even that comes in trickles because NO ELECTRICITY to enjoy anything and no robust or cheap broadband Internet access for the majority. 

On another wikileaks thread, I told a small story about a cousin of mine who did not hear about the UN Bomb-blast until 48hrs after the blast, his reasons; NO ELECTRICITY to watch news. He didn't know until I told him, and he lives in Lagos o 

I bet millions of Nigerians still don't know about that bombing. Thanks to twitter, BB and Facebook, few now have access, but they are too few and the access is too limited. It might surprise Nigerians living abroad to learn that many of us can't even view the YouTube videos they post online except we browse from work or view from friends or family with very expensive connections.

So we still have a long way to go before all these kind of revelations will start having mass impact on our politics or influence how we vote. We are mostly in the dark in Nigeria.

Very sad.

@ Seun: You said you had not read the cable and was wondering if Sahara Reporters interpreted it right? Do you need a reader?

How did Wikileaks got all these information. I believe someone said it but what if the person is lying or didn't get the accurate information/number. Though Wikileaks information might be current but I do not believe the information to be 100% all the time.

@okada_man, you are so right!!

I am not surprised

I haven't read the cables , but i would love to know the judges that received such bribes. Where is the EFCC This goes to show how corrupt Nigeria is, despicable!

All PDP are the same. The PDP has completed the purchase of the Judiciary and final payment for the legislature is being made as we speak. Tambuwal a renegade and an obstacle will soon go. So the Old pharaoh promises -tyranny continues unabated!!

Yet some people still have baseless hope in Nigeria I am waiting for the day half of the population will emigrate and those that will be left will be the looters and corrupt to the bone vagabonds that we call leaders.

It is very pathetic ! considering what millions of Nigerian are passing through on daily basis all over the world.

Slaves in mist of plenty ! Who can lead us face to face to Eldon ?

Who will save Nigeria, in need of good leadership, uncompromised ?

Youths of this Nation will you continue to be in water and soap will be entering your eyes ?

Now or Never, enough is enough

Haba! just dishing out millions like 5 naira change, yet we are seriously suffering and smiling.

In as much as I agree that all Nigerian politicians are corrupt, I want concrete proof from whoever is running his mouth. Its not enough to run to the US ambassador to say something because you want to curry favor except you were paid as an informant. From this wikileak report, this man has fallen out of favor with his party and his bosses and now he seems to want to discredit them in the eyes of the Americans. They said he is one of the old guard, the persons that have run this country aground. As a matter of fact, I don't believe anything he said, Persons like this are our main problem while we don't move forward in Nigeria.
Our leaders are corrupt, that's no more news, even the groundnut seller knows that. My late great great grand mother knows that, there are no roads, no electricity, no water except you have a borehole at home, nothing works because of corruption that started long before I was born.
I want to see proof of the money, when it was given out, by whom and to whom in particular, evidence. WIKILEAKS IS ACTUALLY REVEALING THE SYCOPHANTS AMONG US.

, then you must be Thomas

hmmmmmmmm!!!!!

, then you must be Thomas


This is not about Thomas, this is about persons with integrity and class, whose head is above his shoulder and who will come to equity with clean hands. Let such a person speak and I will listen and listen attentively.
But comon, not one of these politician whose past time is to seek for favor from the US ambassador.

Yardua was corrupt, I agree but so is IBB, OBJ and Uncle Joe, thats not news. But this Sycophant Salaku or what is his name, is also corrupt and one of our problems.

Accepted.

I hate corruption, everything in me hates it, every Nigerian except those that benefits from it hates corruption. But when a thief calls another a thief, i just laugh at them.
Nigeria is sick because of all our past leaders. They regard the country as one of their estate. Our judges and lawyers are all corrupt, look at what is happening in the judiciary, My antidote to all of these is elimination. every one that has tasted power, children of those that have tasted power needs to be cleaned out of our system. Then we can take our country back.

But I don't think this will happen in this generation because we are too scared to take our destiny in our hands.

If these cable releases (particularly those with statements purportedly made by Nigerian public officials) are to be believed, then they provide proof that Nigeria is a client state - has always been and perhaps always will be.  


Someone once said: "Nigerians are proud people. The problem is nobody knows why".


Several threads on this board are full of 'patriots' who violently oppose any criticism of Nigeria's ruling class, no matter how rational or logical such criticism may be. These 'patriots' believe they 'love' Nigeria more than anyone else and constantly harass those who actually mean well for this country.

Well, here it is. Even to my jaded eyes there is something sad in seeing Nigerian high officials baring their souls and grovelling in the dust before consulate officials. What is the explanation for this? A pathological need to confess all (and i mean all) to American diplomats? Or a pragmatic recognition of who is really in charge?

Spare me that ! He is a man of integrity. bold enough to let the cat out of the bag irrespective of his co-corrupt fellows, party and thieves, of what they are capable of doing and all sort.

We cant sit back and let our future be ruined because we are scared of what ?


V FOR VENDETTA, Have you take a look at that ?

Nigeria is in deep shit, who can help her, I can imagine what will be going on in the mind of an average youth " IF I HAVE OPPORTUNITY, I WILL TAKE MY PART OF THE CAKE" either by crook or by hook.
Help ! Help !! Help !!!

Lets wait and see how much GEJ will give for his election to be uphold his electon,

This is why successive PDP President reserve the right to use the NNPC partisanly. It is the clearing house of corruption, shady deals and the source of ready cash to prosecute all manners of corrupt politics. Now GEJ has directed that the NNPC turn around our refineries in 24 months when virtually every expert , home and abroad , have predicted that what is needed , ASAP, is the transparent privatisation of our refineries.

Personally, I am sick of the cynical and opportunist politics that needs compromised figurheads like Yar Adua and GEJ. I become convinced more, by the day, that it is perhaps only something drastic that will put Nigeria on the right path.

i know there are some SS ppl reading through this thread and looking for ip addresses and tryna pay tithe on the perceived intelligence that secret service seem to hav in all those american shows.Now for u fools in the SS ,police and military back home this is for you.

I heard during the lagos floods in june or july,the police college in ikeja was so flooded they had to break the walls to allow the water on to mobolaji bank anthony.and u fools called the nigerian police go to work everyday hoping the guys down under will deliver a multitude of 20 naira notes to take your own share to your four wives per family and a gazillion children. meanwhile your salaries(sorry stipends) from abuja are diverted in fashions that will amaze even the maverick fraudsters of wallstreet till only 60% of what GEJ sent to u only reaches ur acc.

to the SS,with ur cheap suits made in 1963 when nigeria was made a republic,ur 200 naira frames and what in the world is dat crap u ppl hav in ur ears,reminds me of that keyholder i use to hook around my belthole in boarding school. the NSA don chop all the allocations made u guys is why dey all hav crazy pads for their kids here in london.was discussing with one of the rich ones recently and and all she could complain of was how she hated u guys coming into her space,cos u fouled the air around her,she was a burberry chick,smelt like a million pounds of ur salaries and our national budget.shame on you fools,for you work with ppl who detest ur very existence.

to the human beings in naija,sorry for the intro but i had to get that out of the way cos when the shi.t starts,they will send these fools after you guys.my intro was to let them know they are just as victims as the rest of us they are sent to chase and beat down.

i am not a politics talking person not cos i dont know what to say,but simply cos nigerians arent ready to hear the truth.
if naija must change,ppl go die,blood must flow,anger must pump tonnes of adrenaline through our blood vessels that will propel folks from their sorry behinds to shouting enough is enough,and then actually mean it.

but then our very own claim we are too docile,that it will never happen,the average nigerian loves his life too much that there will never be matyrs for this cause.afterall they claim abiola died and nothing happened,so did bola ige,marshall harry and whoever dey decide to eliminate next.
so as i type,reckless enrichment pervades the land and together with clueless governance,Nigeria is held in a chokehold. they say dont insult the elders,but we are ruled by fools,so if the elder is a ruler and has done this to us,he must be a fool.

but when history judges,who would be the greater fool,the minority who ruled with the iron fist and looted our nation out of existence or the majority who just sidon looked and allowed this to continue.

And Yar'Adua squeaked through the Supreme Court 4-3 courtesy of one Dahiru Musdapher,who accepted a 'gift' of sponsored pilgrimage to Mecca from the Yar'Adua administration and came back just in time to give judgement in the appeal.
Said Dahiru Musdapher is currently the Acting CJN and head of the judiciary.
Cry,my beloved country.

Since Andoaka wrote Yar Adua Election Petition Judgement after the judges have callected "Gbemu". I think Adoke should be preparing to write GEJ's judgement. Afterall, Musdapher is the one there now.
JUDGEMENT IN NIGERIA IS NOW "CASH AND CARRY".

oya now,,,gej vs yaradua , who is more corrupthaters wer una dey??gej won his election clean and clear. no one to bribe, wer una dey?come on board!!!!!!
