Dasuki Paid Me N10m Monthly,
Says Okupe
Former presidential aide Doyin
Okupe, has admitted he was being
paid N10m monthly by the
detained former National Security
Adviser, Lt. Col. Sabo Dasuki
(Rtd.). In a statement on Sunday,
the former Special Assistant on
Public Affairs to President
Goodluck Jonathan who is being
investigated by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission
commented on issues the anti-
graft body has asked him to
explain.
BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW
YORK
JUL 17, 2016
F ormer presidential aide Doyin
Okupe, has admitted he was being
paid N10m monthly by the
detained former National Security
Adviser, Lt. Col. Sabo Dasuki
(Rtd.).
In a statement on Sunday, the
former Special Assistant on Public
Affairs to President Goodluck
Jonathan who is being
investigated by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission
commented on issues the anti-
graft body has asked him to
explain.
Saying he was acting in response
to certain publications in some
national dailies in connection with
the EFCC summons, he said he
received the monthly N10m to run
his office, which had 23 staff,
including 11 university graduates
and above.
He confirmed he received N50m
from the office of the NSA at the
onset of his appointment, and
another N50m from the NSA in
October 2014.
That second N50m, he explained,
was approved when he reported to
Mr. Jonathan that the monthly
allowance has been cut from
N10m to N5m and that he was no
longer in a position to keep
running a 1hr NTA network
program called INSIGHT which
was aired 9-10am every Friday
and some other days of the
week.”
Okupe said that he has been in
public service in more than
20years, during which, on account
of what he described as his
pedigree, he has deliberately
avoided anything that would bring
shame to him and his family.
“In spite of my high-level
involvement in politics and
government, I have never done
directly or indirectly any federal
government contracts,” he said.
“In the whole of this world, I have
only two houses. One in Lagos
and another in my hometown. I
have no house elsewhere
including Abuja.”
The former presidential adviser
was appointed in mid-2012 by Mr.
Jonathan at a time it was felt that
presidential spokesman Reuben
Abati was not sufficiently
combative with critics of the then
First Lady, Patience Jonathan.
It is, however, unclear at what
point, between 2012 and 2015,
that new office grew to as many
as 23 persons, including five
Masters degrees holders, or
exactly what it did to warrant such
huge expenditures.
While Okupe was categorical in
Sunday’s statement that he has
never taken federal government
contracts, that clarification may
have been deliberate, as it is on
record that he obtained massive
contracts from the governments of
Imo and Benue during the
Olusegun Obasanjo administration,
that he did not honor.
In 2005 in Imo State, for instance,
he obtained from the government
of Governor Achike Udenwa, a
contract involving the
construction of four kilometers of
road in each of the 27 local
government areas, at N14 million
per km.
He was twice paid a mobilization
fee of N400 million twice, totaling
N800m, and then another N350
million at a time that only about
8km of the 108km involved in the
contract. In effect, he received
N1.2billion for the contract, with
very little implemented.
Similarly, in Benue State was
similar, using another company,
Okupe secured another road
construction contract valued at
N2.303 billion, with up to
N886.8m paid to the company by
2006.
In that year, he was detained by
the EFCC for up to one month.
In his statement on Sunday,
Okupe expressed regret that the
situation in Nigeria is so bad that
everybody believes that there are
no men with honor in politics or
government, saying it was untrue,
and that he has submitted his
personal and company accounts
to the EFCC and has nothing to
hide.
I am proud of who I am and how
far the Lord has taken me. My
present travails and trial will
become a good testimony for my
family and me in Jesus Name.
We paid NTA about N1.2m
monthly for airtime. Two
presenters were paid N600,000
monthly. We paid for tapes and
Editing per program. Besides we
also pay honorarium for guests
either directly or inform of hotel
bills for those outside Abuja, or
transportation. This cost
averagely N500,000 weekly or
about N 2m monthly. All in all, we
spent about N4m monthly on the
program. Mr. President promised
to help with the expenses. About
a few months later when we had
incurred some debts, the NSA sent
me a sum of N50m which was to
cover the cost of the program for
12 months(12×N4m=N48m)
The Newspaper Trial
I saw strange figures like N 162m
fraud, N85m fraud in the Media.
Also, mention was made of some
alleged dubious payments of
N13m and N65m from contracts
supposedly obtained from
chachanga LGA in Niger state.
The fact, however, is that my
company Romix soilfix was one of
the over 20 construction
companies who were duly
awarded contracts for rural roads
some 5yrs ago by the Niger state
govt. Due to lack of funds,
contractors were paid irregularly
thus making the job to drag on for
long. The job is still ongoing. The
relationship of this to my service
as Senior Special assistant to
President is still not clear.
My Health status.
I confided in the officers of the
commission about my health
situation for them to understand
why where and how I sleep was
important to my overall well-
being.
Without clearance or authorization
by me this information was
revealed to the media. I woke up
to hear it on radio broadcast
nationwide and was published in
many newspapers. This is a sad
development and a definite breach
of the confidence I reposed on the
commission as an institution of
government.
I was born with sinus bradycardia,
a non-disease based slowness of
the heart. It precluded me from
vigorous exercise from childhood
but I have by God's Grace been
able to live a normal and active
life. With age the slowness grew
worse and life threatening. I
sought medical help and went
through a procedure at the
Arrhythmia cardiac Research
center in Atlanta, where this defect
was corrected. Its just a year ago
and I am still under satellite
monitor from the USA. This is
what I revealed to the EFCC and
they made it a public issue.

The truth is that most of these corruption fight is at its best a political hogwash. They go to media and bloat everything and then you try to dig deep into it and then you will find nothing to lay hands on. Take for instance, if EFCC charges someone with N10,000000 fraud and after due investigation it was discovered that the ten million naira was the cumulative of his salary for say five years. How will you call that a corruption fight? My point is, every financial transactions has procedures, processes and also purposes for such expenses. I feel that EFCC needs to do their background research, find out facts and at least give us the right information. Also it is not healthy for an agency to expose personal information of an individual to the media. It is not corruption fight but an embarrassment to the identity and personality of the individual. I know that someone may tag me anything, that's not my concern, my point is simple, fight against corruption in a professional way. I refuse to pass judgement on any individual unless proven guilty by a competent court of law. Thank you! |

NgeneUkwenu:They said he revealed, my question is revealed it to whom, if he truly revealed why not record it and take him to court, what is the essence of prosecuting someone on the media with no trial or judgement, my take on this is that buhari has taken this country back to dark ages where media propaganda is taken as norm by people like you, and having person like you as a Nigerian youth shows that Nigeria has a lot to do to redeem it's image. |
