BUSTED: Sponsor Of Pro-Buhari Protest In New York Identified As Businessman And All Progressives Congress Party Chieftain, Nasiru Danu

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasiru Haladu Danu sponsored the pro-President Muhammadu Buhari protest which was recently held in New York, United States, SaharaReporters gathered.

Danu was said to have single-handedly ensured the payment of $50 per hour to over 50 men and women who came out for the rally.

"The 'One Nigeria' protest which is pro-Buhari was funded by Nasiru Danu. He funded all the Pro-Buhari hired crowd at the United Nations General Assembly in New York," a source told SaharaReporters.

SaharaReporters also got the copy of a mail written by one of the organisers of the protest titled, ‘I need 50 people men and women for tomorrow morning 50$ a hour (sic) (Midtown East)'.

It reads: “Good evening, I need 50 people men and women, preferably black, to come support and cheer for a black government official at the United Nations headquarters on midtown East Manhattan at exactly 11.30am. The whole gig will be around a hour (sic) and a half to 2 hours, you'll be compensated on the spot by me 50 dollars a hour. Text or call me asap if interested 7184130053 for more details, bring more people if you can please. See you all tomorrow.”

Checks by SaharaReporters showed that the phone number attached to the email belongs to one Ogundare Olukemi who is said to be based in New York, United States.

From further checks, the main sponsor, Danu had over time identified as a die-hard Buhari loyalist and has enjoyed the support of the Buhari administration.

His flagship company, Casiva, which is also into security, civil and mechanical construction, supply, and procurement, was listed among the 15 consortia/companies awarded the 2019/2020 contracts for the exchange of crude oil for imported petroleum products by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

Information about Casiva Limited on its website reads: “Casiva Limited is an indigenous company offering services in Procurement, Project Management and Logistics, committed to delivering Solutions and Services for Construction, Oil & Gas Industries, Security equipment, and accessories; as a total solution provider for all your security requirements."

SaharaReporters learnt that in 2016, Danu’s company was awarded a contract for the provision of pipeline security and maintenance services along the Kaduna-Kano and Zaria-Gusau segments.

Danu, was in March 2021 accused of conniving with some top officials of the Nigeria Customs Service to defraud the Nigerian government of N51 billion, meant to improve Customs revenue.

Danu is an arrowhead in what is now known in some quarters as President Muhammadu Buhari’s oil mafia group.

A source said the fraud, which implicates the Comptroller General of the NCS, Col Hameed Ali (rtd), was named “Revenue Assurance Fraud" by some officials of the agency.

He however denied the allegations through a March 6, 2021 letter to SaharaReporters by his lawyer, Bose Olanipekun of Wole Olanipekun & Co.

In 2019, Danu made headlines when he was reportedly arrested at Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom, for an alleged passport scam and money laundering.

He was reportedly caught with a fake Malta Passport and in his possession, more than £200,000.00 in cash.

Danu, who hails from Jigawa State, is currently the traditional title-holder of ‘Dan Amanar Dutse’ in the state.

Video Shows Alleged Recruitment Of Pro-Buhari Protesters

In a video seen by SaharaReporters, some Nigerians in the diaspora agitating for self-determination accuses the Pro-Buhari protesters of collecting $50 per hour.

They are heard explaining to the Pro-Buhari protesters that killings are going on in Nigeria as the protesters are seen going into a room and coming out with T-shirts.

They also appear like hired foreigners.

A voice could be heard saying, “They hired them for $50 per hour and gave them clothes. As you can see, they are doing the transaction inside that place.

“The ‘One Nigeria group' is giving clothes to these people inside that place.

“You can see that most of these people are not Nigerians, they were hired."

Another voice added, “Nigeria is a terrorist country, the government of Nigeria is killing people. The Nigerian government is a wicked government. It is tyrannical.”

The Pro-Buhari protesters, were however unbothered as they go in and out of the ‘transaction’ room.

This newspaper recalls a report from September 21 stating that pro-government Nigerian protesters who countered groups agitating for self-determination in New York, United States were paid $50 per hour.

One of the people involved in “the deal” told SaharaReporters that the “One Nigeria” protesters were promised $50 for one hour and $150 for three hours to be at the venue of the protest and to show support for the Buhari regime despite the glaring failures.

“One of the organisers of the fake 'One Nigeria' protest who bribed some Nigerians with the money is Haruna Bello,” a top source revealed to SaharaReporters.

Also, a woman confirmed that she was contacted by the organisers of the “One Nigeria” protest but she declined.

The source said the organisers requested a copy of the identity card of those who would be joining the protest which caused an uproar and made some people back out of the protest.

She said, “I was invited for the pro-Buhari protest. The organisers promised to pay $50 for one hour and we'll be there for three hours. The person did not know we are Oduduwa adherents; we played along as if we didn't understand him. He explained that he was given a contract to do it but yesterday, it became an issue.

“Nigerians who initially agreed later had an issue with the organisers because the organisers of the pro-Buhari protest said those who would join the protest must tender their ID cards, a copy would be made and taken to the Nigerian House but those ones refused because an ID card in America is very significant.

“With that, the organisers had to quickly go and look for any other Nigerian they saw or those who had no legal papers yet and who are in need of the $150, that they would take them to the venue. It was a staged protest. It was $50 an hour for three hours making it $150.”

Two Nigerian groups with conflicting ideologies confronted each other in New York over the President's visit.

The groups had converged at the Nigerian House on 42nd Street, 2nd Avenue, airing opposing views about the issues of insecurity in Nigeria and its unity.

The protest began as President Muhammadu Buhari arrived in New York for his scheduled activities for the United Nations General Assembly.

The One Nigeria group members carried placards on which were written, “Stronger together”, “Unity in diversity”, “Genocide in Eastern Nigeria plain propaganda”,


“Nigerians want national unity, not secession”, “Nigerian Christians not targets of genocide or ethnic cleansing”.

They were, however, opposed by some anti-Buhari protesters who had been organising protests for days calling for a referendum to determine the fate of the country.

The protesters who are calling for self-determination alleged that the members of the One Nigeria Group were “fake” Nigerians hired to display the country's flags and take pictures.

A fat monkey that will never end well.

Ok

See him face. Asari dokubo of the north

Why are criminals always holding away in Nigeria? I remember ibori in abacha administration too, same man who once governed and defrauded Delta state . Tomorrow, this big for nothing thing would be vying for governorship position in his state too after he's stolen billions, just the same way the abacha courier, in person of Bagudu who is now a serving governor in the north once did.

Uzodinma was awarded a dredging contract with almost 75% of sum paid up front by Jonathan administration. This man never tilled the ground. The same is Imo governor today

Ofcos it would be a Fulani leech claiming to come from one northern state. That's how the chinch in Aso Rock is claiming Daura.

See how he looks like a fattened cow. Feeding fat off southern resources, while southern indigenes struggle for 1 meal a day. Any day we southerners say; "enough!", That's the day we begin to rid ourselves of these foreign, landless vultures.

Fat pigs can never have sense

I dey laugh o o o!!!

So ugly, with his big mouth that resemble over used p***y

. They hired them for $50 per hour and gave them clothes. As you can see, they are doing the transaction inside that place.

$50 per hour.

Say they spent 5 hours, that's $250.

N130K in just 5 hours.

But, they're paying their ZoneBs here 30K in 30 days

BMC ZoneBs are worthless and piece of shiit!

SarkinYarki:
Fat pigs can never have sense

Buhari is the only president so far that spends a lot of money on people, both on and offline to defend his criminal regime !

Give it to him, he has an outstanding title of being the worst president ever.

The filthy pig doesn't even look Nigerian.
Disgusting dolt.

See the kinds of shameless hausa-fulani people embarrassing and disgracing this failed country.One of the most corrupt cronies of the president who was once arrested and deported sometime ago on charge of alleges money laundering and fraudulent passport racketeering.

The fat dumboharist fo0l looks so corrupt and disgusting.

Gandollar:
Are they authentic copies? Brand New or old?

soft copies

See the flabby overfed heifer

Thanks sahara reporters for the expose. All agents doing all they can to the status quo will be called to answer for their crimes.

I am not surprised. So shameful!

It is well.

Davash222:

Some BMC members get only ponmo and boli

Hasn't this proved Nnamdi Kanu that this Buhari govt outside Nigeria has no honour. Imagine how these people have reduced governance to this abysmal level that political jobbers now recruit non- Nigerians to be shouting one Nigeria. Sahara Reporters have my 5 Star for this

I know this will never make front page because nairaland mods have become biased.

Whatever.

So Black Americans sold us for ordinary 50 dollars?
You see why I never condemn those that sold their ancestors because given the same circumstances as seen here, if tables were turned, they will sell more than those that sold them.
Shameless Black Americans

Okay

Shapeless!!!

WHERE IS THE FROG EYE CALLED UDELE TO COME AND SEE THOSE EATING THE REAL PROPAGANDA MONEY. NOT HIS TYPE THAT ARE PAID N30.000 A MONTH FOR THE SAME JOB.
