Few
days after the presidential election that saw the exit of President
Goodluck Jonathan, fresh facts have emerged as to the roles played by
some very influential people close to him
From
the outset it was clear so many of those close to Jonathan , ministers,
Head of agencies, PDP National Assembly members and even some of the
militants he empowered to become overnight billionaires, worked for the
exit of Buhari.
While some did it to feather nest, for business reasons, some were just for selfish and money grabbing reasons.
The
list include Petroleum minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke, chairman
Presidential Amnesty Programme, Kingsley Kuku, CEO of Oando, and
possible next petroleum minister, Wale Tinubu, Femi Otedola, Tonye Cole,
Kola Aluko, Walter Wagbasoma, Principal secretary, Hassan Tukur, NSA
Sambo Dasuki, Defence minister, Muhammed Gusau, Mrs Nenadi Usman, and
some charlatans like Igho Sanomi, and Ayiri Emami ex militants with
truck loads of cash who just roamed around the Villa.
Others who allegedly played roles include Nenadi Usman, Doyin Okupe, Femi Fani-Kayode, Olisah Metuh, PDP chairman, Adamu Muazu.
Most PDP senators from Jigawa, Bauchi, Kaduna, worked assiduously for the Muhammadu Buhar’s emergence
The
worst case according some of Jonathan;s aides was that of the petroleum
minister who was walked out of the villa shortly before she left
Nigeria. According to one aide ‘ hers was worst, Jonathan did all he
could to retain, even when so many wanted her out, she took all the
nations money and gave to opposition, while she starved Jonathans
campaign”
But according to a tweet
by @7Dlife_ng, “Diezani was not entirely a villain, was loyal to the
point where it became apparent the APC was going to take it self
preservation stepped in. Diezani is the main reason why Nigeria’s oil
cabal joined the larger conspiracy to kick out GEJ”
It
was learnt that Allison-Madueke gave first tranche of $3million through
Governor Rotimi Amaechi to the Buhari campaign few days before the
first election date, February 14,, while Kuku gave another $3million to
the campaign through Mrs Aishat Buhari around that period.
Checks
also reveal that that Allison-Madueke also gave another $4million to
the Buhari campaign through Senator Bukola Saraki shortly before the
March 28 date.
Otedola and Wale tinubu took care of the fuel scarcity angle. They ensured supply was slow or non existent created the scarcity.
Aluko,
rumored to be cosy with Allison-Madueke funded APC heavily because he
was at daggers drawn with his girlfriend, the petroleum minister. Aluko
was the custodian of a large chunk of the minister’s wealth offshore,
but when they fell out, Aluko stayed back in Switzerland and waited for
his girl and the government to fall, so he could return to Nigeri.
@7Dlife_ng
reports that at the recent meeting Jonathan with members of the Ijaw
Youth Congress, the president of the IYC attacked Kuku for funding APC.
He
disclosed on twitter that after the meeting Jonathan went into a closed
door with the IYC leader and said “ I am C-in-C, I know everything,
even if I had won I wonder how I can last another 4 years”
Ayiri
and Wagbasoma and Igho, donated millions of dollars to the APC. Most
shocking here was Ayiri who was made billionaire by Jonathan, has
unfettered access to him.
According
to @7Dlife_ng “ Tony Elumelu and Jim Ovia stood by the President. It
was the toughest thing to do in that circumstance. But why. Because they
are serious investors.”
The
marketers and crude oil lifters were troubled by Jonathan’s PIB bill
that was stalled at the NASS by party men who were in on the stop GEJ
project:
There are also those
alleged to have collected huge campaign funds but pocketed them. Okupe
is alleged to have gotten N100 million to use to convince some members
of the Labour and Accord Party to join the party, but he did not
deliver. Fani-Kayode who was head media and publicity allegedly got
N1Billion for media, and another $2million dollars to set up what they
call ‘situation rooms’ nationwide. Both men have denied the allegations.
Fani Kayode has even threatened legal action against Peoples Daily
Newspaper .
Muazu allegedly got N2
Billion, and another N80 million for social media. He set up a social
media office at Legacy House peopled by his men through which he made
tons of millions.. Muazu gave millions to the APC . He worked closely
with FCT minister, Bala Mohammed and state Governor Isa Yuguda to give
the APC 90 per cent of the votes in Bauchi.
Former Finance minister, Nenadi Usman allegedly pocketed over N800 million meant for the media and publicity committee.
Olisah
Metuh, it was alleged got a whooping N450Million for social media,
shortly after jetted out to Dubai to aquire choice properties, the late
Special Adviser, Strategy, Oronto Douglas allegedly got $3million for
social media .
The
likes of Metuh, Fani-Kayode, Okupe, did not expressly worked to deliver
but their alleged reluctance to used funds for the listed assignments
spelt doom for Jonathan.
Tukur
another very close aide of Jonathan worked closely with the NSA to
ensure power retuned to the north, they had help from Defence minister.
