Give Us The Names Of Leaders Who Collected N750m Bribe– PDP Dares EFCC The Director of Media and Publicity of
the Peoples Democratic Party
Presidential Campaign Organisation,
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has vowed
to defend the corruption allegation
against him. Also, the national leadership of the
PDP has urged the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission to be
diligent in the party’s investigation of
the allegation that some members of
its National Working Committee collected a whopping N750m bribe
from Mr. Ndudi Elumelu. Elumelu, a PDP governorship aspirant
in Delta State, had alleged that the
money was collected from him with a
promise that he would be given the
party’s governorship ticket in the
state. But speaking on the matter, the
National Publicity Secretary of the
party, Mr. Olisa Metuh, said the EFCC
must be able to unravel those who
collected the money. He said, “If any member of this party
participated in the issue, let the law
takes its course. Let the EFCC charge
those involved to court. We will not
tolerate anyone who is corrupt.
Monies were paid into an account at least with what I have read in some
newspapers. “That is a concrete evidence. Let the
EFCC use that to trace how the
money was disbursed. The law
enforcement should act on this.” Also, Fani-Kayode, while reacting to
allegation made by a Lagos lawyer,
Mr. Festus Keyamo, that the former
minister was not qualified to be in the
President Jonathan Goodluck’s
campaign team because of the fraud case, said he was ready to prove his
innocence in the graft suit. Kayode is currently being prosecuted
by the EFCC for alleged corruption
while in office. Keyamo, who is the prosecutor in the
matter, said with Fani-Kayode’s
appointment, President Jonathan had
shown that he was not interested in
fighting corruption. He, therefore, asked Nigerians to
reject Jonathan during the February
14 presidential election. But in his reaction in Abuja on
Monday, Fani-Kayode in a statement
signed by his Special Assistant on
Media, Mr. Sufuyan Ojeifo, said he
was waiting for the next adjourned
date of his trial to clear himself. Ojeifo said, “They initially claimed
that he (Fani-Kayode) stole N19.5bn
of the Aviation Intervention Fund but
this was thrown out by the courts for
want of evidence. “After that, in 2008, Keyamo filed a
bogus 47-count money laundering on
behalf of the Farida Waziri-led EFCC
in which he claimed that Chief Fani-
Kayode had laundered N200m. “In 2014, he reduced it to a 40-count
charge and reduced the amount that
was allegedly laundered from N200m
to N99m. Earlier this year, 38 of
those 40 counts, which collectively
represented N97m, were thrown out by the court for want of evidence. “The remaining two counts, which
represent N1m each, will be
defended on February 23rd and 24th.
Chief Fani-Kayode looks forward to
that date because he is innocent and
he has every confidence in God and the Nigerian judiciary.” He said that what people like
Keyamo failed to appreciate was that
the days of prosecuting people on the
pages of newspapers without any
hard evidence and trying to
intimidate innocent people with the EFCC were long over. On the one month suspension
slammed on the former National
Chairman of the party, Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur by the party, Metuh
said that he was now free to
participate in the PDP’s activities. source Short URL: http:// www.osundefender.org/?p=207206
