Frank Akpoebi, a close political associate of
President Goodluck Jonathan, declared on
Sunday that a whopping N32 billion was missing
from the treasury of Bayelsa State Government
when Jonathan was governor between 2005 and
2007.
He made the stunning revelation on Sunday at a
press conference held at the National
Headquarters of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Abuja where he gave reasons for his
defection and of hundreds of others from the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to APC.
Akpoebi served as Commissioner of Health in
Mr. Jonathan’s administration during his
governorship. A founding member of the PDP in
Bayelsa, he was also a Federal Commissioner in
the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal
Commission.
Of the missing N32 billion, he called on
Bayelsans to ask Mr. Jonathan to refund the
money before he can ask for their votes again,
adding that there had been speculation that he
used the money to sponsor himself and late
Umaru Yar’Adua in the 2011 election.
“I served in the State Executive Council with Dr,
Goodluck Jonathan and I questioned one of his
series of contracts he used in siphoning the
Bayelsa State treasury was his singular approval
of Two Billion Naira for sand stock piling at
Yenogoa for Bayelsa indigenes to park and use to
start a building project I stood up to oppose it
but yet Two Billion Naira was paid but a drop of
sand was not dropped.”
He described President Jonathan as
incompetent, and as the architect of religion and
ethnic politics that have divided many
Nigerians.
“This President is the richest President in
Africa,” Akpoebi declared. “Dr. Goodluck
Jonathann has invested in five business men who
are highly celebrated Billionaires in Nigeria. And
three of them came back to raise election funds
to sponsor him to increase his investment on
them while Nigerians will continue to live
poverty, deprivation and insecurity. This is a
vicious circle that we must not continue with it.”
The Conference was attended Timipreye Silva,
another former governor of Bayelsa, Hilland
Etah, the National Vice Chairman APC South-
South, and other political stalwart in the
State. He mentioned many other national
issues. He defected to the APC alongside
hundreds of PDP Chieftains from Bayelsa State.
It would be recalled that in 2006, before
President Obasanjo arbitrarily picked him for
the vice-presidency, Mr. Jonathan was one of 15
governors indicted by a federal panel for false
declaration of assets, and recommended for
prosecution in line with the Code of Conduct
Bureau Act.
The powerful inter-agency Joint Task Force on
corruption was headed by the then chairman of
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
Mr. Nuhu Ribadu. Its indictment of Mr.
Jonathan was on account of several issues,
including Mr. Jonathan’s N18 million Lexus Jeep
which he falsely claimed in 2004 he had acquired
through savings.
“Verification reveals that the Jeep was a gift
collected in contravention of the Code of
Conduct Bureau Act of 1990,” the panel said.
“Same for BMW 7351 Series bought in 2005
worth N5.5 million.”
The panel also listed Mr. Jonathan’s acquisition
of properties outside legitimate income,
including:
Seven Bedroom Duplex acquired in 2001 worth
N18 million at Otuke Ogbia LGA;
Four Bedroom Duplex acquired in 2003 worth
N15 million at Goodluck Jonathan Street,
Yenegoa; and
Five Bedroom Duplex - acquired in 2003 worth
N25 million at Citec Villas, Gwarimpa II, Abuja.
Akpoedi also refuted Mr. Jonathan’s claims to
being a Christian, saying that as a close friend of
the President as admitted by Mr. Jonathan
during one of his presidential briefings, he
knows for certain Jonathan is no Christian, and
that he has admitted he does not know how to
forgive.
“Dr. Goodluck Jonathan I know serves voodoo.
And that is what he practices. In 2006 in the
dining at the Governor’s Lodge Yenegoa, he did
not pray before eating, so I asked him why, he
replied me that he has not prayed in his life. I
was really worried hearing that from him. The
following day we were discussing when
Dr.Goodluck told me he has a weakness and that
he does not know how to forgive.
“Dr. Goodluck should desist from using religion
or the churches to advance his campaign or
adoption, because it will make to expose him
further,” Akpedi said. “We want a country of
peace, love and security.”
Here is the full text of his speech at the
Conference:
As a founding member of PDP Bayelsa State and
funded 60% of the party at its formation
between 1988-early 1999. I am well known and
respected by politicians within the state and
beyond.
The PDP under Dr.Goodluck Jonathan has totally
lost Good governance. There are six things he
failed in his administration that bothers on my
personal integrity, ideology and the interest of
our great country-Nigeria.
1 Insecurity
2 Corruption
3 Unemployment
4 Poverty
5 Power (Electricity)
6 Economy (Naira
Devaluation)
Above all Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has brought
politics of religion, Tribe, North/South
dichotomy and hate . Infact, Dr. Goodluck
started exhibiting all these vices when he was
Governor of Bayelsa State. As a Deputy
Governor,he has some obstacles so when he
became Governor, it was a payback time . He
started punishing the ijaws that brought him to
power in the state. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan
started playing politics of divide and rule.
He also made sure no project goes to any ijaw
village and any Ijaw person is empowered in
Bayelsa .This he has continued till date . I served
in the State Executive Council with Dr, Goodluck
Jonathan and I questioned one of his series of
contracts he used in siphoning the Bayelsa State
treasury was his singular approval of Two Billion
Naira (2,000,000,000.00) for sand stock piling
at Yenogoa for Bayelsa indigenes to park and use
to start a building project I stood up to oppose
it but yet Two Billion Naira was paid but a drop
of sand was not dropped.
During Dr. Goodluck’s administration Thirty
Billion Naira was missing in Bayelsa State
Treasury. Bayelsans should ask him to refund
this missing money before he should ask them of
their votes. There was speculation that he used
the money to sponsor himself and Late Yar’adua
in 2011 election. So I called on you Dr.Goodluck
Jonathan to return this Thirty Billion and two
Two Billion to Bayelsa State before asking for
their votes or best explain the whereabouts of
these monies.
Much do I know ,that Dr. Goodluck is not a good
manager of resources since he is embedded in
corruption from when he was the Governor of
Bayelsa State. Today our foreign reserve is
depleted. Our Naira is devalued. Poverty and
unemployment is a National Pride . Insecurity
and Nigerian Children, mothers and fathers
dying in the North-East and yet he wants the
votes of North- East . Is this not insensibility
and insult to the people of this zone and by
extension and insult to our collective psychic as a
nation? And yet he sponsors some persons in
the Niger Delta Project only and no other part
of this country has a right to become President
until he finish to divide us, impoverish, oppress,
squander our economy and plant corruption as a
subject in our schools and we were corruption as
toga around the world.
This President is the richest President in the
Africa. Dr. Goodluck Jonatahn has invested in
five business men who are highly celebrated
Billionaires in Nigeria. And three of them came
back to raise election funds to sponsors him to
increase his investment on them while Nigerians
will continue to live poverty, deprivation and
insecurity, This is a vicious circle that we must
not continue with it . Under his divide and
rule Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has infiltrated my
tribe some ijaw youths to agitate that Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan is all that the Niger Delta can
offer but this youths forgot that this President
has not giving respect to Ijaw Leaders .
To mention but few ,Prof. Tam David West,
Alabo Graham Douglas, Chief Princewell
Horsefall , Chief T.K.O Okorotie, HON
FynmanWilson,HRM Joshua Igbagara. e.t.c.
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan never appoint any of
these Leaders to Federal Appointment nor
consult them regularly for the interest of our
tribe and our Nation, Nigeria , Rather the
President despises them, insult some of them by
singularly paying SOKU Oil
We
that I put in EXCRO account for Rivers and
Bayelsa State while I was Federal
Commissioner Revenue
Mobilisation ,Allocation and Fiscal Commission .
Now Dr. Goodluck Jonathan wants your votes so
that the next four years he will make the
Kalabaris non-oil producing place by forcefully
collecting the remaining oil-wells and allocate
them to Bayelsa and ask you to go to court that
will take fifty years to resolve. The Kalabaris
cannot be intimidated, induced or coerced to
vote for Goodluck Jonathan by himself or his
proxy.”IJAW NATION” . All the ijaws in
Bayelsa State know that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan
does not love us .Throughout his six years
administration he did not appoint any ijaw son as
a Minister. The highest appointee was Late Gen.
Andrew Azazi as National Security Adviser . He
was appointed by Dr.Goodluck Jonathan, sacked
by him and buried by him.
Recently, we heard that Hon. Seriake Dickson
was physically manhandled and beaten by the
President Security detail at the Villa. Presently
Governor Dickson is the Leader of Ijaw
people due to the office he occupies. So can the
Ijaw be so humiliated for their leader beaten
up ? As a serving Governor, can this happen ?
The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) and Ijaw National
Council (INC) to carry out independent
investigation to unravel the truth.
On Christianity , Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is not a
Christian . I am a close friend of Dr.Goodluck
Jonathan and he confirmed our friendship
during one of his presidential briefing.
Dr.Goodluck Jonathan I know serves voodoo ,
And that is what he practices . In 2006 in the
dining at the Governor’s Lodge Yenegoa, he did
not pray before eating, so I asked him why, he
replied me that he has not prayed in his life . I
was really worried hearing that from him. The
following day we were discussing when
Dr.Goodluck told me he has a weakness and that
he does not know how to forgive.
The country today is blood, blood , blood and
nothing is done. Why? And no solution “ So by
their fruit we shall know them” When the
righteous rule, the people shall rejoice.
Dr.Goodluck should desist from using religion or
the churches to advance his campaign or
adoption, because it will make to expose him
further. We want a country of peace, love and
security.
I wish to also thank the 1st Lady who once saved
my life in 2006 while I was staying in
Government House Bayelsa with you. APC I am
joining today will solve insecurity, corruption,
unemployment, poverty, Power,and run a vibrant
economy.
Thank you Gentlemen of the Press. Source: saharareporters

I don't need any one to tell me that GEJ is a mismanager and ethnic/religious bigot. He is the worst civilian president we have ever had. Jonathan is very very corrupt. He has plunged this countrty into debt and wants to continue so that he and his goons will milk us dry. NEVER!

We are now wiser than before. We will kick him out come FeBuhari 14 (shebi it's just 12 days away)

The time has come.
