Anyim Tricked Jonathan To Sign N1.2b Centenary City Deal, Says PDP Chieftain

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Anyim Pius Anyim unilaterally acquired the multi-billion-dollar Centenary City on the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road, Abuja, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief alleged yesterday.

PDP’s National Vice Chairman (Southsouth zone) Dr. Cairo Ojougboh said he was ready to face the ex-SGF in court to prove his sole ownership of the controversial housing estate.

At a media briefing in his Abuja home late Monday, Ojougboh, reacting to what he described as “the show of shame”, which he said Anyim sponsored against him on Monday,  accused the former SGF of acts of desperation “to cling onto his loot and spoils of office without putting into consideration the millions of Nigerians he is depriving of the dividends of democracy”.

Jonathan’s Centenary City Project Was ‘Fraud’, PDP Chieftain Insists

he National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Southsouth, Dr. Cairo Ojuigbo, has questioned the integrity of ex-Goodluck Jonathan’s administration Centenary City Project in Abuja.

Ojuigbo, who spoke in Abuja through his lawyer,  Kayode Ajulo, alleged that the integrity of the processes leading to the project was doubtful.

The party chieftain,  who also chairs the Nigeria Export Processing Authority (NEPZA), was reacting to a report that former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Anyim Pius Anyim sued him for maintaining a similar position in media interviews.

Anyim, in the N1 billion libel suit filed by his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), claimed that Ojuigbo’s position wasa slander on his person and could scare foreign investors.

Ojuigbo said had instructed his lawyer to file a counter-suit once he received the court papers.

The PDP chieftain, who expressed his determination to ensure that those behind the project, who acted unlawfully, were prosecuted, said he had petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

Ojuigbo, who maintained his position, insisted that the “processes leading to the Centenary City, were elaborate and conceived to defraud the government and Nigerians.”

Jega Used Card Reader To Finish Us- PDP Chieftain

Olorogun John Oguma, JP, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State. In this interview with select journalists, he spoke on the 2015 elections and other issues of national interests.Excerpts:

What is your reaction to the outcome of the 2015 general election?

We in PDP abandoned ‘we’ and we were discussing ‘I’ and that is what has brought us now to this level. It is a bitter lesson that we must have to learn from and we are going to start again from the scratch.

Because we were busy fighting ourselves, APC was busy rigging the election two years back. This election was actually rigged two years back because we were busy fighting ourselves; this governor is not good, that governor is bad; so it is a bitter lesson to our leaders.

Secondly, far as I am concerned, the card reader was a bigger issue than the voting point. In the electoral act, the card reader is not there, but he forced Nigerians to accept it because he knew what he  planned.

Kashamu Is As Sinless As A Baby, Says PDP Chieftain

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, in Ogun State, believes that Prince Buruji Kashamu has done nothing wrong to warrant being shipped to the United States of America to face drug-related offences.

Chief Toyin Umar says that the Senator-elect has no sin to warrant such a treatment, adding that the move was an attempt to witch-hunt the financier of the PDP in the South West.

In a statement personally signed by Umar, he said that Kashamu had got a judgment from the United Kingdom over the drugs case which exonerated him long time ago.

Umar stated that the people ochestrating the extradition plot were doing so in order to run him down for political reasons. “The attempt has political undertone. Buruji Kashamu has no case with the USA, its just that some people are trying to run him down.

“If truly the Senator-Elect has a case to answer in the United States of America, the authorities know the right thing to do, and not that, some people would be flying a kite for his extradition.

“I urge the brains behind the move to stop witch-hunting him. This same case was mentioned in the UK some years back, it ended up in favour of the senator-elect.”
