Fayose threatened former President Goodluck Jonathan
that … – Aluko

By Rotimi Ojomoyela
Ado - Ekiti-As against the denials of Governor Ayodele
Fayose that he never got any money from the office of
the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo
Dasuki (retd.), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Secretary in Ekiti State, Dr. Temitope Aluko has
revealed that the governor's election was indeed funded
with cash from Dasuki's office, some oil contractors
and that Fayose threatened former President Goodluck
Jonathan that he must deliver so that Jonathan will win
in Southwest.
Tope Aluko
Aluko, who claimed that Zenith Bank did not sponsor
the campaign of Governor Ayo Fayose, but only made
a token donation of N200 million after he had won the
governorship election.
Aluko made this disclosure during a live interview
programme on ADABA 88.9 FM monitored in Ado
Ekiti on Tuesday.
Aluko who said Fayose was not a buoyant man before
coming out to contest the 2014 governorship election,
added the Governor only had a little close to N10
million in his personal account, also revealed that his
primary election was sponsored by Transformation
Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) and the Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Towers in
Abuja.
The Ekiti poll fraud whistleblower revealed that it was
after Fayose had won the Ekiti PDP primary that cash
from the Office of the National Security Adviser
(ONSA) and oil contractors was deployed to fund the
campaign for the main election.
He said Zenith Bank and other corporate organizations
came in with business proposals after Fayose had won
the election maintaining that the governor's claim that
his campaign was sponsored by Zenith Bank was a
"blatant lie."
Aluko explained during the interview that Fayose
purchased five houses with the N2.3 billion, which was
a remainder of the slush funds from ONSA in choice
locations like Abuja, Banana Island and Victoria Island
in Lagos.
Speaking on the feud between Fayose and Obanikoro
on the arms cash, Aluko revealed that a crisis of
confidence broke out among the duo following a
discovery that part of the money ferried by plane to
Akure for the purpose of Ekiti poll was short by N80
million.
He said: "The Presidency gave us security and money;
the money was sent from a Diamond Bank branch
through an account run by Sylvan MacNamara, a
company owned by Obanikoro.
"My boss (Fayose) said he wanted to get his own in
cash and that was why arrangement was made to get
his own in cash and that was why such a huge amount
(N2.1 billion) was ferried by plane. Obanikoro cannot
claim not to have brought the money.
"He (Fayose) chose his man, Abiodun Agbele, to keep
the money in a Zenith Bank account and the money
was lodged at Zenith Bank, Alagbaka Branch in Akure.
The transaction was not recorded and it got to a stage
when it was discovered that the money was short by
N80 million.
"This causes a crisis between Fayose and Obanikoro
who brought money thrice from Abuja. He (Obanikoro)
brought other things apart from money which I won't
disclose now and it was from it that N1 billion was
released to INEC officials to manipulate Ekiti and Osun
polls.
"Fayose was threatening (former President Goodluck)
Jonathan that he (Fayose) must deliver so that Jonathan
will win in Southwest. All the PDP elders were kept
out of picture over the transactions and cash and some
of the cash deployed did not get to their destinations.
"The cash carried in the plane was not entered into the
manifest, the N2.1 billion was delivered to a bank at
4.30 am in Ekiti. The N2.3 billion remaining from the
total cash received for the election was used to buy
house in Abuja and the house belongs to Fayose.
"Fayose purchased five houses in Victoria Island and
Banana Island. The property in Dubai was purchased
by a fellow who is known as Bisi in Ekiti but is
known as Femi abroad. Questions are being asked on
the N3 billion used to purchase the Dubai property but
I strongly believe that we will recover our money."
Refuting Fayose's claim that Zenith Bank sponsored his
election, Aluko said: "It is not true that Zenith
sponsored his campaign, a meeting was held in Lagos
where Zenith donated N200 million and that was after
he had won the election. There was no time Zenith
sponsored us.
"If Zenith wanted to give us money, they did not need
to use an aircraft to carry cash, all they need to do was
to generate the money from their branch in Akure
through the local branch of Central Bank of Nigeria."
Speaking on the purported begging of the governor by
some Zenith Bank officials, Aluko said Fayose
masterminded the "show" to blackmail the bankers
following the heat generated by the freezing of his
accounts.
Aluko said: "That is the style of my boss (Fayose); the
(Ado Ekiti branch manager), Bunmi Falana also
known as "Bumshaka" and Goke (Olatunji) were
personal assistants to Fayose during his first term but
Bunmi quit politics following a spiritual attack he
suffered and demanded a career job.
"It was Fayose that used his position to secure a job for
him at Pacific Bank before he assisted him to get a job
at Zenith Bank. But they later fell apart over money
issues after which the EFCC arrested Bunmi.
"The governor told the banks to make his boys their
branch managers and they are in charge of Ekiti
Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) accounts which I
want the EFCC to beam their searchlights on.
"Fayose threatened Bunmi, telling him that he made
him and would also destroy him that was why Bunmi
knelt down before him. That is what Fayose used to do
to blackmail people.
"No big money flowed into Fayose's campaign until the
month of June (2014) and the election was not
sponsored by Zenith. All the monies collected were either
paid into the account of Spotless Investment or Fayose's
personal account.
There was a time N117 million cash paid into the
account of Spotless Investment in one single day, that
is August 22, 2014 which was far in excess of what a
customer can deposit in a single day, six deposits in a
single day.
"Dasuki had said it before that N10 billion was spent
on Ekiti and Osun polls and they are in various
tranches. We know that of $2 million, another N2.1
billion and N4.7 billion, the bank did not sponsor his
campaign."
On the failure of the governor to pay civil servants'
salaries, Aluko said the problem could be traced to the
fact that what Fayose earns 40 per cent of the monthly
allocation as entitlements.
He explained that Fayose receives N250 million as
security vote every month which was jerked up from
N150 million received by his predecessor, Dr. Kayode
Fayemi apart from various allowances received from
Government House and Protocol.
Aluko maintained that if Fayose should reduce his his
motley allowances, there would be a substantial amount
that could be channeled to workers' salaries adding that
Fayose has less financial commitment unlike Fayose
who paid social security to the aged, peace corps, youth
volunteers, among other schemes scrapped by his
successor.
The PDP stalwart doubted Fayose's claim that the state
now generates N300 million monthly compared N600
million monthly generated during the Fayemi
administration. He said the fact that Fayose has
imposed series taxes on Ekiti people should shore up the
revenue base.
"IGR ought to be more than that; Fayose is now
collecting money by force from people like okada riders,
banana sellers, shop owners and other petty trade. If
you impose taxes not imposed by your predecessor, the
IGR suppose to be more than that.
"I want the authorities concerned to beam their
searchlight on the various IGR accounts run by Ekiti
State government because Ekiti people are asking
questions on this.
He said further: "Fayose should shed from the hefty
allowances he raised for himself to pay other people that
are suffering because this is someone who is making
noise when his account was closed what about other
people being owed salaries for the past six months.
"It is very insulting for a governor to be saying that he
cannot sell his wife and children to pay salaries. It is
absurd for somebody to have billions in his account
and property all over to be telling the people to endure
pains.
"Some banks were closed recently because the banks
insisted that due process must be followed over
Corporate Social Responsibility projects and this has led
many Ekiti sons and daughters to lose their jobs".
He expressed fear that Ekiti may not get another bailout
because the Fayose government cannot meet the
conditions specified to access the funds to bring succour
to workers.
Aluko stated: "TSA is not in operation, state accounts
not published, salary structure unknown, IGR
unknown, what is spent on recurrent and capital
expenditures unknown and the consultant is the same
person operating as contractor.
