The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) national
vice chairman South South, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh
has said the centenary city built during President
Goodluck Jonathan’s administration was a
blueprint for corruption.
Speaking with newsmen weekend in Abuja, PDP
national vice chairman South South, Dr. Cairo
Ojougboh said a huge expanse of land was given
to one man who went to incorporate the centenary
city as a free trade zone, describing it as “crime
personified.”
Dr. Ojougboh said he had personally writen a letter
to President Jonathan on several occasions
concerning the
centenary city telling him it was wrong to create a
free trade zone in the city centre. He said the
centenary city project had made some Nigerians
believe that the PDP is a corrupt party. “Find out.
The centenary city is owned by one man and when
he comes he will start calling names; Abdulsalam
Abubakar, this and that. If you go to the Corporate
Affairs Commission, you will see the owner of the
centenary city.
There are two companies owned by one man who
was in charge of the office of the SGF. “Somebody
within that office called the SGF had (the) impunity
to tell Nigerians lies that the centenary city is a
public private partnership arrangement; I mean it is
a lie. In fact, huge chunk of land was given to only
one man and it didn’t stop there. He now went to
incorporate the entity as a free zone. Where have
you ever seen it in this world? It is crime
personified. “But we are going to re-build the party
and if we don’t tell ourselves the truth, we won’t
be able to rebuild the party. I have told you why
the PDP lost the election.
But as a PDP member, I am telling you that PDP is
not corrupt. But what I know is the issue of the
centenary city which I know that, that place is a
blueprint for corruption and that entity is corrupt.
That is what I am saying,” he said. Dr. Ojougboh
also questioned the release of over N700 million
bailout package for states by President
Muhammadu Buhari, saying: “The issue with it is
the method of disbursement. Did the National
Assembly approve it? You see, this is where
democracy comes in. Was it appropriated, that bail
out? Does it have legal backing? The PDP is
watching.
