A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Senator Jim
Nwobodo, has denied receiving N100million from a former Minister of State for
Finance, Bashir Yuguda.
According to statement issued by his spokesman, John
Okoreni :
Nwobodo said he was the Chairman of the Contact
Committee of the PDP Presidential Campaign for the Southeast, overseeing Abia,
Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States.
He said the only fund received by the committee for
its work was N100million from PDP’s National Chairman, Dr. Adamu Mu’azu.
The money, he said, was for logistics, travelling and
mobilisation of party members in the zone for the presidential election.
“The fund was properly disbursed to the states and
dully signed by members of the committee for each state and accounted for to
the party. At no time did Senator Nwobodo receive money from any person other than
the then National Chairman of the party.
“It would be unusual for Senator Nwobodo and other
members of his committee to query the source of campaign fund coming from the
National Chairman of his party for official functions and purposes.
“This statement is meant to put the record straight
and correct the impression making round some media on the alleged distribution
of money by Bashir Yuguda as it concerns Senator Nwobodo,” the statement said.
NB: Loot is loot ‘ whether from Yuguda or Muazu, it is
Abacha loot. . It is disgraceful to learn how public fund is being
misappropriated by these bureaucratic politicians and treasury- looting
bastards. If Jim Nwobodo fails to learn anything from his detention and
imprisonment in the past it will be usual for him to serve the time again for
the same purpose of brigandage and banditry.’
