F
ormer Chairman of the Board of Trustees of
the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Tony
Anenih, has claimed that ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan ordered a former National Security
Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), to give him
the sum of N260 million.
The revelation is contained in a letter the former
BOT chairman wrote to the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission recently.
An aide to the PDP leader, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity, confirmed to SUNDAY
PUNCH on Saturday that Anenih made the
disclosure.
The aide said, “The former BoT Chair explained
to the EFCC that he gave his account details to
the ex-President on request, when he requested
for a refund of expenses incurred while (he was)
carrying out Jonathan’s instructions. Jonathan
passed it (account details) to Sambo and Anenih
was paid the sum of N260 million.
“The former PDP BoT chairman also explained to
the anti-graft agency that apart from the N265
million he gave to Chief Olu Falae, Senator
Rasheed Ladoja and Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, he
also gave N25 million to a former Deputy
Governor of Sokoto State, and another N35
million to a delegation of leaders from Katsina
State.”
Anenih reportedly wrote in the letter that he also
incurred additional costs when he led other
members of the PDP BoT on a nationwide tour
to reconcile aggrieved and feuding members,
following instructions given to him by the former
president.
He noted that the money he spent on hiring
private jets and other logistics was yet to be
refunded to him.
The aide added, “Although most of the
expenditure was incurred on the instructions of
the former president for special political
assignments, only N260m was refunded to
Anenih by the former president.
“Whereas the refund of N260 million was made
through the office of the National Security
Adviser, Anenih explained in his letter to the
EFCC that he only provided his account details to
the former president on request for a refund of
the money spent.
“He also said in the letter that he was not in a
position to ask the former president how he was
going to source the fund or through which office
the refund was going to be made.”
The aide said Anenih had yet to be refunded
over N180 million out of the N440 million he
spent. The PDP chieftain also reportedly argued
in the letter that he was not a direct beneficiary
of the sum of N260 million that was a part
refund of the money he spent on the president’s
instructions.
The former PDP BoT chairman had earlier stated
that he gave N100 million each to the National
Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Chief
Olu Falae, and the leader of Accord Party,
Senator Rashidi Ladoja, for mobilisation
purposes.
He had also said N63 million was disbursed to a
northern group led by Yakassai for “mobilisation
and post-election peace advocacy in that part of
the country.”
Yakassai, Falae and Ladoja have all confirmed
that they received the stated amounts from
Anenih.
The total of these three disbursements is already
N3 million more that the N260 million which
Anenih said was refunded to him through
Dasuki.
