I And 8 Other Prominent Northerners Collected N53m From Anenih— Yakassai by kahal29: 6:10am On Jan 07, 2016 |
…Says money was for northern traditional rulers to mobilise their subjects Elder Statesman, Tanko Yakasai yesterday confirmed that Chief Tony Anenih gave him and eight other prominent Northerners N53m for advocacy visit to northern traditional rulers. Yakasai said he received the money after Anenih had asked him to suggest nine apolitical but respected individuals from the north who will help mobilize their subjects for hitch free 2015 general election. In an exclusive chat with Vanguard, Yakassai said that “Yes, myself and 8 others collected N53m from Chief Tony Anenih to pay advocacy visit to prominent northern emirs to mobilise their subjects for a hitch-free 2015 general elections.” One of the named beneficiaries, Chief John Mankilik has denied knowledge of the source of the money. The former Special Adviser to President Shehu Shagari declared that the N53m disbursed to his team by the former Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) leader catered for the group’s members allowances, transportation and accommodation on a tour that took them to 18 states in the north. Yakasai, who vehemently denied linkage between the fund and campaigns for former President Jonathan, listed former minister of state, Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Mamman Anka, Barrister Bitrus Gwada and Alhaji Suleiman Lawal as beneficiaries of Anenih’s largesse. Other top respected northern individual, according to him that benefited from the largess included Dr Bahago, Chief John Macklink from Plateau, and Senator Sodangi. Yakasai had last week denied ever receiving financial patronage from the Jonathan administration in an interview with Vanguard. He had, in the interview, said; “I want to make it categorically clear that no officials of the last regime either Mr. Jonathan, his lieutenant, agents, contractors or person having links or relationship with the last administration gave me cash on behalf of that regime.” Yakasai, who celebrated his 90th birthday last year disclosed that they visited the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, the emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Idris and the emir of Gwandu. Others visited were the emirs of Anka, Ilorin, Nassarawa, Minnie, Bauchi, Zuru, Kebbi, Katsina, Dutse, Hadejia and representatives of emir of Daurawa. Also visited were the Tor Tiv, the Gwom Gbom Jos, Ohimege Igu, Kotonkarfe, Etsu of Abaji, Etsu Nupe and Atta Igala. But the Secretary of the Committee, Chief John Mankilik, when contacted by Vanguard yesterday denied knowing the source of the fund or how it was spent. According him, “I was in the Committee, he (Yakassai) was the Chairman and I was the Secretary. He never gave me any money except when we were traveling, he only gave us the money we needed for the journey. “He never told me the source of the money or how he was spending it, he was the one who knew everything, he should explain how he spent whatever was given to him.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/i-8-other-prominent-northerners-collected-n53m-from-anenih-yakassai/ |

It is quite a pity that memory failed Yakassai, that was why he denied the fact he collected the money. He said it was for a special assignment and the source of the money was not known. Tomorrow he will tell us he was only told it was the leftover from the ammunition procurement. Or his money owed him when his boss was in office |

modath: I'm just wondering whether the money was meant for campaigns or for arms purchase. I knew there had to be something fishy about gejs reluctance to fight boko haram right from the start. While people were dying, he only saw it as an opportunity to loot funds and use it for his campaigns 2 Likes |

modath: Relax, the duaran will soon declare that a war against these nine prominent northerners is a war against islam... And this is a witch-hunting, the same method Amaechi used river's embezzled funds to polished Buhari's amaurotic election. And now he's a saint and had never had any petition from the court... Reasons he appointed them ministers. Your political prowess is demised and unacceptable, especially on the traded path and views. Common reasoning is quite difficult for you to bear.... How will you support a man who doesn't add up to the affairs of this country. Look around, there are no jobs anymore. Families are crumbling. Youths don't get enough to stand up and make families of their own. Average Nigerians are suffering. We hear lies everyday from the party. We're not properly guided. Even your comments are fictitious and with hopes... Hopes that will never come to pass... I'm a victim of 1985 and you wouldn't want to experience the tyrancy my family experienced. 1 Like |

Let's say buhari isn't feeling reluctant to fight boko haram, have you any difference between the killings during GEJ time and now? Aren't there still bombings and killings?

Have u gone out to see how life's become miserable to youths? Asking the ministries to cut down their expenses will make all ministries to cut down their staffs. And coupled with the already overwhelming unemployment and lack of employable companies in the country... Youths have now plunged to stealing and robbery. |

yanabasee: Even a new born baby knows that the bombings have reduced. Before they were everywhere in the north but today they are limitted to not even the main cities of borno but to villages and forests. Gej himself shamelessly and publicly told the north that he underrated boko haram. Keeping quiet would have been better for him. Guy forget, gej could have defeated boko haram if he really wanted to. He just preferred to steal the money and let the northerners die since they are not his brothers. modath: And till today you see the wailers calling Buhari a tribalist. Namadi sambo during their campaigns openly told us not to vote APC because osinbajo is a pastor and then went to the south to tell people that Buhari wants to Islamize the north. Its just shameful 2 Likes |

abduljabbar4: No! Because there is no future for you and me... You might be sounding optimistic becoz u're a northerner and as such have political father who will make things work out for you in a long run... What about those who doesn't have this privilege that you're having? Have you thought of how they'll survived? Very recent, we've been told that the vigilante who assisted/assisting the Nigerian armies to fight Boko haram have been recruited into the military. Same reason the president indirectly pushed the defence headquarters to Maiduguri so he'd single handedly recruit northerners with no certificates into the military. While there are lots of able youths acros the country that seeks this same opportunity and are turned down. But you guys have it at a plater. I'm not being tribalistic... My point is, all youths deserve a fair treatment and equal opportunity. |

yanabasee: First they have not yet been recruited and secondly, these people have clearly proved to deserve it. The army is not all about your education but your willingness to sacrifise your life for the nation. Have you so suddenly forgotten how soldiers wore civilian clothes and ran out of Borno due to lack of good weapons and here are some illiterates fighting boko haram with sticks and cutlasses and detecting bombs. You don't always have to wait for the government to give you a job. You can try and get some loan and with hardwork and dedication you will become the next Dangote. 2 Likes |

abduljabbar4: Becoz of lack of weapons? Why lack of good weapons? I thought a fight against BH is also a fight against the entire northern state? So you expected the military to fight them with weapons? Have you gone around the country to know how many people who have staked their lives to fight criminals or other strong gangs? Why haven't they been recruited into the Nigerian police? If that's the norm according to your premise. Loan? Lol.... You really don't know a thing about loaning, do you? |
