Adams Oshiomhole, the Edo state
Governor, has urged the former Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees and former
Chairman of the Nigeria Ports Authority, Chief Tony Anenih, to return the N260m
allegedly given to him by the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki,
from the $2.1 billion arms deal. Oshiomole said this at an APC rally in Benin
City over the weekend
“We have seen even the godfather’s
name being mentioned. Even at old age, he collected N260m, and I want the
godfather to deny or to confirm it. If he wants to refund the money, I will
collect it from him and I will go to Abuja without deducting anything from it,
and I will hand it over to President Muhammadu Buhari.
You can see this is not yet an
outcome of any investigation. I am sure by the time the NPA book is fully
opened, more revelations will come out. By the time they open NIMASA, you will
understand how these people helped themselves and their families, and deprived
even the activists who helped to make them relevant.
When it was time for help, they
dealt quietly, when it was time to mobilize they used everybody. And I think if
this is what President Buhari has done for Nigeria, helping us to understand
how old people were eating the grasscutter which the younger boys had gone to
the bush to bring home. Even without teeth, in their 90s, they never stop
stealing. So you can see why new changes are necessary. Not just to build roads
but to change the political system that doesn’t allow the young to grow. We
respect elders, but the elders must not prevent the younger ones from growing.”
