PoliticsRe: Nothing Wrong With Jonathan's 21 Billion Pledge by Edron1(m): 8:17am On Dec 27, 2014
THE Peoples Democratic Party Fund Raising
Dinner held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to
boost President Goodluck Jonathan’s
campaign war chest has been attracting public
attention. The event, which took place last
Saturday, was attended by business people,
multinational organisations, interest groups
and individuals who donated a sum of N21.27
billion to support his campaign for the 2015
presidential election.
But the President and his party will definitely
have trouble explaining away this latest
bizarre development in regard to the law of the
electoral game and the morality in politics.
Though how a political party’s candidate
raises his or her campaign funds is the party’s
affair, the process must comply with the
extant laws and pass the integrity test. First,
Nigerian laws are unambiguous on campaign
expenses and funding. The 1999 Constitution
in Section 221 clearly states: “No association,
other than a political party, shall canvass for
votes for any candidate at any election or
contribute to the funds of any political party or
to the election expenses of any candidate at
an election.” The Companies and Allied
Matters Act also expressly forbids companies
in Section 38 (2) from funding or donating
gifts, property or money to any political party
or association. Then the Electoral Act 2010, as
amended, specifies in Section 91 (2) that “the
maximum election expenses to be incurred by
a candidate at a presidential election shall be
N1 billion.”
But Jonathan, the ruling PDP and its 21 state
governors took lawlessness to a new height
on Saturday when one Tunde Ayeni, leading
other donors, gave N2 billion on behalf of
himself and his unnamed “partner” and
“friends.” Jerry Gana, a permanent fixture in
successive governments, announced N5
billion on behalf of his equally mysterious
friends and “associates in the power sector.”
Not to be outdone, oil and gas sector “friends”
also pledged N5 billion; real estate and
building sector, N4 billion; transport and
aviation sector, N1 billion; food and
agriculture, N500 million; power, N500 million;
construction, N310 million; road construction,
N250 million; National Automotive
Association, N450 million; and Shelter
Development Limited, N250 million. Going by
the Electoral Act, which caps the donation an
individual could make at N1 million, 5,000
donors must have been behind Gana’s N5
billion gift.
There is no doubting the fact that these
donations raise salient questions verging on
transparency. At a period when the
government should be taking interest in
enforcing compliance with the money
laundering laws, people should not come out
to announce donations on behalf of
themselves and their “friends,” without
actually naming those “friends.” It should also
be of interest to know if those donors and
their anonymous “friends” have complied with
appropriate tax obligations. International best
practices stipulate this as the minimum
irreducible requirement.
Many Nigerians will also be interested in
knowing how the Board of the Niger Delta
Development Commission, which was credited
with producing N15 million, came about its
donation. As a government agency, where did
it derive such powers to donate to a political
party from? Having done this for the PDP
presidential campaign, will the commission
also make a similar amount available to other
parties?
As for the sectoral donors, there is also the
need for total disclosure. Who were the actors
in the oil and gas sector that donated N5
billion? If they are publicly quoted companies,
did they get the approval of their shareholders
before going on the spending spree? How did
the power sector that has not been able to
muster enough investible funds come about a
N500 million donation? With the automobile
industry donating N450 million, it is no longer
surprising that it benefited so much from the
government’s controversial waivers.
Ayeni, a legal practitioner whose consortium
recently acquired NITEL and Mtel, is also the
chairman of Skye Bank Plc and a director in
the Ibadan Electricity Development Company.
Given that these big time sectoral players have
suddenly become the big donors to the
President’s campaign, what is the guarantee
that regulators would be able to control them?
It is little wonder that the government, after
selling the power sector to private operators, is
still interested in arranging a N213 billion
bailout for them.
So, except the players in the various sectors
donated their own money, they have brazenly
violated the law if they did so on behalf of
their companies. The relevant authorities
should demand their tax returns. As of 2010,
domestic airlines collectively owed banks and
regulators over N300 billion. To say the least,
this is another outrageous example of brazen
impunity in government.
Indeed, a string of ugly scandals has dotted
the Jonathan administration. Among the most
unsettling cases is the N2.53 trillion paid out
in 2011 as petrol subsidies to cronies and
“ghost” businessmen when the National
Assembly approved only N245 billion that
year. We also recollect the mind-numbing
loss to the national treasury of some
questionable waivers that cost the country
N64 billion in first six months of the year.
Funds that disappeared from the public till can
now find their way back as campaign
donations. There is also the unresolved issue
of missing billions of dollars at the state-
owned oil company.
This scale of campaign slush funds and illegal
contributions in return for some political and
economic favours is deeply worrying. On
moral grounds, leveraging on political power
to raise campaign funds is corrosively anti-
democratic. That it was done by previous
administrations should not be a justifiable
excuse for the flagrant abuse of power. There
is next to no doubt that some of these funds
are of doubtful origin. It is just sickening to
find a President who claims to be fighting
corruption fraternising with the venal high and
mighty.
