EFCC freezes Fani Kayode's accounts.

-

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has frozen an account operated by former Minister of Aviation and Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Femi Fani-Kayode.

The account was frozen by the anti-graft agency, which is presently investigating the alleged N4 billion campaign cash allegedly speny by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in the build-up to the 2015 general elections.

 The funds were allegedly withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and shared to 10 other directors, directorates, zonal directors and state directors of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organization.

Details of the distribution of funds are as follows:
  • Fani-Kayode (N840million);
  •  Goodluck Support Group (N320million);
  • Achike Udenwa and Viola Onwuliri (N350million);
  •  Nenadi Usman (N140million);
  • Okey Ezenwa (N100million).
 Fani-Kayode, who was in charge of the PDPPCO media directorate, declared yesterday that he knew nothing about the withdrawal of the cash from the CBN or funding of the PDP presidential campaign by the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki. 
 
He , however, admitted that campaign funds were paid into the account of a company linked with a former Minister of Finance and Director of Finance of the PDPPCO, Mrs. Nenadi Usman, from where it was shared to him and others.
 
Mrs. Usman, a former senator, is reportedly in the EFCC custody in Abuja as investigation reaches advanced stage over her role in the N4 billion campaign funds.
 
But Mr. Fani-Kayode has dared the EFCC to “do their worse” in a statement in Abuja entitled “The Money Transfers and the Truth about the Presidential Campaign Funds”.

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” Every once in year there is that special day in the lives of everyone. The day we commemorate our grand entries into the world, that reminds us the day we took our first breaths,the day we began our great sojourn, the day our loving mothers travailed in labour and prevailed. The day our tiny crying voices wiped away every pain of delivery our mothers suffered and brought laughter and happiness to everyone around us. The day we mark our birthdays. You would agree with me that birthdays are considered one of the most important days in a person's life. Little wonder people attach so much relevance to it,(some probably more than others).There are plenty relationships that have been strained because one party forgot the birthday of the other or did not mark it in a way that was expected of them. I do not blame them much, a birthday is special and the celebrant ought to be tre
