Accord Party, one of the
political parties which did not
sponsor a presidential
candidate for the 2015
elections, has confirmed
receiving N100 million from a
former chairman of the Board
of Trustees of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Tony
Anenih, ahead of the polls.
The party said it got the
money through its national
leader, Rashidi Ladoja, the
party’s governorship
candidate in Oyo State.
The party opened up on the
payment in a letter to the
chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission,
Ibrahim Magu. The letter,
dated January 8, was signed
by the national secretary of
the party, Nureni Adisa.
Mr. Anenih is one of several
top politicians accused of
receiving payments from a
$2.1 billion slush fund,
originally meant for the
purchase arms for the fight
against Boko Haram, but
which was allegedly diverted
by a former NSA, Sambo
Dasuki.
The former PDP BoT chairman
reportedly explained to the
EFCC that he was not a
beneficiary of the sum, but
that he was instructed by
former President Goodluck
Jonathan to release the funds
to some political groups for
mobilisation and post-election
peace advocacy.
He stated in a letter to the
EFCC that N100 million was
given to the leader of the
Social Democratic Party (SDP),
Olu Falae, N100 million to the
leader of Accord, Mr. Ladoja,
and N63 million to a group
headed by Tanko Yakassai.
Confirming receipt of the
funds, in the letter titled,
“Release of One Hundred
Million by Chief Tony
Anenih”, Mr. Adisa said, “Our
attention has been drawn to a
newspaper report that the
sum of One Hundred Million
Naira was released to the
ACCORD leader, Senator
Rashidi Ladoja by Chief Tony
Anenih, the (former) Chairman BoT of the
PDP.
“We confirm that the sum of One
Hundred Million Naira was given to the
party through our leader after series of
meetings between the leadership of
ACCORD and Chief Tony Anenih in
preparation for the 2015 general
elections,” said the letter.
He highlighted three issues discussed at
the said meetings, which according to the
party secretary, led to the release of N100
million to Mr. Ladoja.
“There was need to support the
presidential candidate of the PDP since
ACCORD had no presidential candidate.
“The need to ensure that peace was
maintained to enhance peaceful
movement during periods of campaign,
elections and after the elections.
“The need for the PDP to support
ACCORD campaign effort,” said the letter.
Accordingly, he said Mr. Anenih released
N100 million “for these purposes through
our leader, Senator Rashidi Adewolu
Ladoja”.
“The money released was accordingly
used for the purposes as stated above,”
Mr. Adisa said.
Messrs. Yakassai and Falae had already
confirmed that they received N63 million
and N100 million respectively from Mr.
Anenih for the purposes specified.
Mr. Falae said the money was “purely”
for inter party affairs.
Mr. Falae, who spoke to New Telegraph,
explained that “In the build-up to the
presidential election, the PDP approached
the SDP which I chaired.
“The then ruling party solicited for our
support in order for President Goodluck
Jonathan to win the March 28 presidential
election.
“Anenih related with me as the chairman
of the PDP BoT and I did same as the SDP
National Chairman.
“He wrote to me as PDP BoT chairman
and I wrote back as SDP national
chairman stating conditions/terms for the
alliance.
“I have the record. It is true that N100
million was given to my party to endorse
and work for the Jonathan’s candidature
in the 2015 election.
“We used the money for that purpose and
we effectively campaigned for the PDP
since we did not have presidential
candidate in the election. The money was
not for me.
“Thank God I’m a retired civil servant. I
have all the documents to prove all that
transpired between the two parties,” Mr.
Falae said.
The former finance minister said there
was no way he could know that the
money was from arms fund.
“With all the money PDP has and having
spent 16 years in power, how would I
know that the money was from the arms
deal? No reference was made to the arms
deal. So, they should not bring me into
the arms issue,” he said in the interview.

Now I see why no sane country wanted to help Nigeria back then.
Arms money come turn national cake, cut yours and move ahead. These politicians are heartless!!!

NA wa o! So, PDP/GEJ practically shared our common wealth among a previledged few and they expect us to forget about it?

Where was the moral principle of Falae, Ladoja and other leaders who collected this blood money?

If GEJ was a good candidate, why did you have to collect money to offer your support?

These people are the primary reasons Nigeria is where it is. Unfortunately, the "leaders of tomorrow" have proved to be worse than them.

In a sane society, the youths will demand public execution of these shameless leaders who mortgaged their future for selfish ends. But in Nigeria, it's the same youths whose future and that of their unborn children have been sold off by these people that still defend them with narrative such as "ït's political witch-hunt", "it's fight to silence opposition", "it's a means to fight his perceived enemies" when attempt is made to bring the wicked to justice.

Btw, SDP has come out to say that Falae declared only N5m while the shameless old man poketed N95M. And he had the effontery to lament his kidnapping? Who else should be kidnapped if not people like Falae and Ladoja?

Do u lack comprehension skills? Nobody is realeasing any name.

It is people making confession at thier own time.

100 million naira to work for PDP, campaign for and to ensure peace. I never knew you've turn to security agent that you have to ensure that there's no post election violence. Tell us how you work it out. Thank God you told us the type of assignment given to you unlike others that will say they were only given money for an assignment, and not homework.

I wanted to say you get time, but I just recalled that I too just set someone right about Ekwunife & Nwobodo's defection!!!

It is discrimatory & illegal to block people from joining political parties!!! Politicians know it & capitalise on it!!!

Pa Oyegun stylishly rubbished them but you know Nigerians & anywhere belle face!!

This money is still causing a flood.

back to back prison

Anenih ti n ka boroboro. hope my party DPP no collect ur blood money. because I no see kobo from them

These men simply composed a song called 2.1b and had several artists(politicians) on the track but we didn't know and who was featured in the song gradually the the list is coming the lead vocalist being Dasuki

This is why it is difficult to recover loots in Nigeria. How many people benefited from this transaction? almost everyone in active politics.

So PDP was in doubt of its popularity at the polls, hence their bribing other parties not to fielding presidential candidates in the last election?

Sincerely I don't blame these parties that benefited from GEJ awoof, it was business for them nd they never could have known d money was originally meant for arms procurement. PDP needed their support nd paid them for it.
Everything still boils down to 'the hero'.
Im patiently waiting till when the 'hero' GEJ will be invited by d anticorruprion agency. That guy ran d most corrupt administration of all time in Nigeria.

I pity Olu Falae. The said bribe was paid into his personal account, not his party's. The excos of the party may not be quizzed.
