Suspended PDP Deputy National Chair Who Joined APC Accused Of N500 Million Fraud by mackay37(m): 1:06pm On Jan 09, 2019 |
Babayo Gamawa, the former deputy national chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, who defected to the All Progressives Congress Tuesday after he was suspended by the PDP, is accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of a N500 million fraud. Mr Gamawa is standing trial alongside five chieftains of the PDP in Bauchi State for alleged receipt of illicit N500 million for the 2015 campaigns of the party. The money, according to the anticorruption agency, the EFCC, was part of the slush funds allegedly deployed for the elections by ex-petroleum minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke. The commission charged Mr Gamawa and other accused persons before a federal high court in Bauchi, in June, 2018. PREMIUM TIMES could not establish the progress of the case at the time of filing this report. Welcomed with open arms The corruption case against him, notwithstanding, he was welcomed with open arms by the APC, hours after he was suspended for alleged anti-party activities by the PDP. Mr Gamawa was received by President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Tuesday evening. The politician was led to the president by Bauchi State governor, Mohammed Abubakar, and was joined by another defector, Kaulaha Aliyu, a member of the PDP’s Board of Trustees. A spokesperson for Mr Buhari, Femi Adesina, shared pictures of his boss and Mr Gamawa late on Tuesday, describing the latter as a “new entrant into APC”. While sharing the pictures of visit, Mr Adesina wrote: “President Buhari receives in audience New Entrant into APC Former Deputy National Chairman of PDP Senator Babayo Garba Gamawa and Hon. Kaulaha Aliyu alongside Bauchi State Governor in State House on 8th Jan 2019”. Accused of fiddling with the ruling party and dereliction of duties, Mr Gamawa’s former party announced his suspension Tuesday morning. The national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said Mr Gamawa was suspended by the National Working Committee (NWC), following a petition. He said the committee held an extraordinary session on January 5, where it reviewed the petition against the deputy national chairman. “The NWC found merit in the petition on allegation of dereliction of duty and anti-party activity as contained in Section 58 (1) e, f, g, h of the PDP Constitution. “Therefore, in exercise of section 29 (2) a, b and c, the NWC hereby invokes Section 59 (1) d of the constitution of the PDP on the Deputy National Chairman (North) and accordingly suspends him from the party immediately.” https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/304881-suspended-pdp-deputy-national-chair-who-joined-apc-accused-of-n500-million-fraud.html 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is the reality of all Nigerian politicians!! All of them are criminals and full of criminal intentions!! Nigeria as a country do not have a blueprint for any reasonable developmental project for the foreseeable future! Politicians jumping party shows how insanely selfish someone can be because of stomach infrastructure! PDP and APC are one but the same set of criminal elements! Do not let anyone tell you anything different!! It is even strange for the APC to hide their criminal bandwagon in the narrative of fighting corruption! The APC is corruption personified nothing less, nothing more!! 49 Likes 3 Shares |

I honestly hate politicians in Nigeria, all of 'em. From PDP to APC he is running every where, to find where the money is. Any youth supporting these old men should suffer, posterity will judge any man born of woman supporting the evil atrocities committed by our current breed of 'blood-sucking' politicians. I hate you all 27 Likes 2 Shares

. This party and its members with the President in lead position have delighted in drawing to itself individuals who have and are facing charges bordering on criminal misappropriation of state and public funds Why do corrupt Politicians and Public Officials find refuge in the APC, a party led by a suppossed Maigaskiya (the harbinger of truth) when truth is anathema to their core ideology - lootocracy Read Jeffrey Archer's Clean Sweep Ignatius and understand that the game is the game - these ones never changed. They only pretended to be upright. They never prepared to govern but to steal. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/06/efcc-arraigns-pdp-deputy-chairman-others-n500m-laundering-charge/ . 8 Likes 1 Share
