PDP Campaign Funds War: I Will Jail You ’lamido Threatens Yusuf ( Vanguard) by Nobody: 1:23am On Apr 17, 2015 |
The war of words between Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido and ex-Minister of Internal Affairs in the Second Republic, Senator Bello Maitama Yusuf, over Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, campaign funds heightened yesterday, as the governor vowed to jail Yusuf before leaving office on May 29. Senator Yusuf, aside from dragging the leadership of PDP in Jigawa State before a Federal High Court in Dutse for defamation and character assassination, also vowed to expose the governor’s activities and release the threat message sent him by the governor. The governor and PDP had accused Senator Yusuf of diverting the money given him to distribute to the electorate in his constituency to mobilize them to vote for the party, but was angry that the Senator did not only divert the money but also defected to All Progressives Congress, APC. Governor Lamido’s text message, according to Senator Yusuf, read: “True, I have only five weeks to go, but I will jail you before I go. “We also, today (yesterday) at council meeting, discussed Garun Gabas road contract and by council authority sent all related documents to EFCC and copied same to Buhari, the President-elect.” Effort to contact Commissioner of Information, Babandi Ibrahim, for further comments on the issue proved abortive as he did not pick several calls made to his line. Let’s see who ‘ll be jailed—YUSUF However, in a swift reaction, Senator Yusuf explained that no amount of threat and intimidation from Governor Lamido would deter him. He said: “He is just not happy with my defection to APC and if he continues to threaten me, I will expose some of his shady deals. So we will see who will be jailed.” Meanwhile, Senator Yusuf has sued PDP for defaming his character, having alleged that he diverted N15 million campaign fund given to him to distribute to the electorate in his constituency. In a statement by Yusuf’s Media Consultant, Mohammed Ismail, he is seeking for an order of perpetual injunction at the Federal High Court, Dutse, against the defendants for defamation of character, asking for N1 billion damages. Yusuf said: “Did they give me cash or cheque? Sule Lamido will never forgive me because he felt I was the one who brought him down. “Why should he give me money for campaign? Am I a leader of his party? What kind of money? “This is a person who will never want go down alone. I swear by Allah, he will never relent to want to tear my name. “Do you remember five years ago, when he revoked a road contract and said I had to refund some money, which turned out to bet false? “He is just blackmailing me for leaving PDP to join APC and to help in its victory in the just- concluded elections. The whole thing is hisy fabrication.” www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/jigawa-pdp-campaign-funds-war-yusuf-sues-pdp-for-n1bn-i-ll-see-you-in-jail-lamido/y |

You see the money they sqandered have started intoxicating them and confession will follow suit, then before you know it they will be naked publicly. One adage says" when the meal prepared at home generates problem then neighbours will get to know the nature of the food. |

Wow....this pdp drama is getting interesting. The party is sinking faster than one could imagine. they had better understand themselves before apga oust them from the position of opposition party. Meanwhile; The senate spent #1Billion in the amendment of the 1999 constitution, GEJ refuses to sign it because the office of the CJ is separated from the office of the mister of justice. #1billion gone down the drain. #21Billion was spent spent on national confab, Gej promised to implement the the confab's resolutions if re-elected for a second term,he lost the election, definitely, #21billion has gone down the drain. Can you run your private business like this? 4 Likes |

There both can murder, behead, stab, assault, assassinate.. each other for all I care. All Nigerians deserve/want is a refund of stolen public funds. However, you guys can keep the interest accrued overtime. No qualms |

This guys no longer have shame or what? We are talking about bribing voters to get their votes and they still have the audacity to say it out . GEJ really messed up with the amount of money he spent to secure victory. |

When politicians fight, Nigeria gains. Let them keep exposing themselves. Lamido is harassing yusuf for allegedly stealing N5m. How much did Lamido's son steal again? God will expose all these greedy, wicked bucaneers we call our leaders |
