As you read this, several customers of Skye Bank are in fear and have already started withdrawing their hard-earned money in care of the bank. For some others, they have begun closing their accounts with Skye Bank because of fear of the unknown.

The reason for this, as Aproko247 learnt, is not far-fetched.

According to some of them who spoke with our correspondent, the public support the Chairman of Skye Bank, Tunde Ayeni, gave President Goodluck Jonathan is the main reason for their decision. They fear that since the President lost his bid to get re-elected on Saturday, March 28, 2015, the bank may be doomed.

It would be recalled that in December 2014, Ayeni publicly donated the sum of N2 billion for Jonathan at a dinner held in Abuja to raise fund for his re-election campaign.

This was kicked against by some shareholders of the financial institution, who frowned at the action of the bank’s Chairman.

When Aproko247 asked some of the customers, who have started closing their accounts with the bank, the reason for their actions, they were unanimous in their responses.
Most of them feared that the incoming government may mark the bank for victimisation and before something happens to their sweat, it would be safe for them to quickly move their money to other reliable banks that will protect their money.

As at press time, no official of the bank could be reached for comment as the phone number of Head, Corporate
Communications, Skye Bank, Rasheed Bolarinwa, was not reachable

No confusion sir, just surprised that people foresaw the skye bank issue more than a year ago.

I have a lot of money in skye bank but I'm not moved because I know that AMCON is up to the task to prevent the collapse of any bank, and prevent defaulting debtors from running away from their lawful debts like Ifeanyi Ubah and Sen Ben Bruce.

Riddle me this, why did Jonathan wait till Tunde Ayeni donated N2B to his re-election campaign before approving the take-over of mainstreet bank by Skye Bank?
