GEJ Sent Obanikoro To Give Fayose $35Million At Spotless Hotel In Ado Ekiti – PDP Secretary Aluko
Feb 1st, 2016 – Jonathan Sent Obanikoro To Give Fayose $35Million At Spotless Hotel In Ado Ekiti – PDP Secretary Aluko
- INEC Officials In Ekiti & Osun State Got N1 Billion Bribe From Jonathan
- Jonathan Stole APC Money To Fund PDP Election – Aluko Says EFCC Should Probe Him
More details have emerged on the Ekitigate scandal currently rocking the office of Ekiti State’s ‘Man of the People’, Ayodele Fayose.
Ekiti state PDP secretary Dr. Temitope Aluko, has alleged that former President Goodluck Jonathan funded Governor Ayodele Fayose’s election with $35 million (about N4.7 billion). Aluko, who said he was the Chief Returning Officer for the poll, also claimed that the former president had earlier released $2 million to Fayose for the primary election conducted by PDP.
The embattled PDP state secretary, who disclosed this at a briefing with some select journalists in Abuja at the weekend, said that the $35 million was allegedly delivered to Fayose on June 17, 2014, at Spotless Hotel, owned by the governor, by a stalwart of the then ruling party and former minister, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro. He stated that $2 million was collected at NNPC Towers on March 23, 2014.
Aluko said that his position as Chairman, Security and Intelligence Committee of Fayose’s campaign facilitated his presence at such sensitive meetings. His words: “As the chairman of the Security and Intelligence Committee, I was always present at all meetings.
I was very conversant with all the details and I have all the records. “Immediately after the primaries, Fayose made it known to all that the only way we can convincingly win is to use the military. That is why we pushed for Jelil Adesiyan as Minister of Police Affairs and Musiliu Obanikoro as Minister of State for Defence. With the uncertainty over the fate of President Jonathan, we were all desperate to secure the South-West…
“After the primaries, we went to Jonathan for funding and security. On the funding, Jonathan gave us $35 million (about N4.7 billion as at that time) for the real election. Even for primary election, he released $2 million to Fayose. I have the details.
“It was Obanikoro that brought the $35 million to Spotless Hotel in Ado Ekiti; the hotel is owned by the governor. Eight people were present when the minister brought the money. The PDP leaders were all present when the money was brought for transparency and accountability.
“So, the security and funding for Fayose’s election came from the presidency. Even the $2 million for the primary election was collected at the NNPC Towers, Abuja. They took $300,000 from the $2 million dollars for the courier. The money was given to Fayose, myself and Hon. Femi Bamisile.
We took the money to Prince and Princess Estate in Abuja where Fayose has a house. That was on Monday March 23, 2014. The N4.7 billion came into Ekiti on June 17, 2014. “It was also at the Aso Villa that a meeting was held between top military chiefs and Fayose’s team. The president was present at the meeting.
That was where the security arrangement for the election was decided.” Aluko said that the $35 million was changed in Onitsha, Anambra State, in a “powerful man’s bureau de change.” He alleged that former PDP national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, gave Fayose N20 million for the primaries. Fayose neither confirmed nor denied the receipt of the money.
In another interview on Channels TV last night, Aluko said N1 billion was shared to officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for Ekiti and Osun governorship polls. Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, stated that Fayose got money from different sources in the course of prosecuting his election.
“As per the claim that $37 million was given to the governor for the election, the governor got financial support from various sources as it is usual of anyone contesting election and it is not for him to begin to advertise in the media the level of support the governor received from individuals, corporate organisations or groups.
“However, if money belonging to the All Progressives Congress (APC) is missing and they suspect that the money was stolen by Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to fund Ekiti State governorship election, they can approach the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).” While maintaining that he had known the governor for 40 years, Aluko said he facilitated Fayose’s waiver upon his return to the PDP.

Wait a minute…..
Jonathan gave out $35 Million (4.7 Billion)for Ekiti election the money was handed over to Fayose by the wide eyed hawk Obanikoro at Fayose’s own SPOT LESS Hotel in Ado -Ekiti.
Also was $2million was handed for same Ekiti election collected at NNPC Towers in Abuja.
1 Billion naira was shared to INEC officials for Ekiti and Osun Election
I want to keep this 100% and real talk.. Jonathan will die in jail, The hawk eyed Obanikoro will be forgotten in the Gulag.. The self acclaimed spokes man of the EKITIANS Fayose will be jailed and the keys to the lock will be thrown in the Atlantic ocean, Can any body imagine how this bunch of rascal looted the nations treasury into their purse…
I will be disappointed in BUHARI if Jonathan and his cohorts don’t ROT in jail..

Politics is what you can hear but may not see.I don’t support goodluck nor buhari but if you ask me I will say buhari too must go to jail. Saraki looting is the worst of all. I live in ilorin kkwara state and I know it all. Buhari never made mention of prosecuting saraki. Olisa metuh and mazi nnamdi where both handcuff to court when not found guilty yet which is against law of human right in this nation but a boko haram leader walked straight to court for killing our people.you know nothing but you can shout. I watch chanel yesterday and when aluko was confronted with some questions he started shouting. Did you whatch it!

Corrupt leaders. U av denied the poor so many good things of life. God will reward you all. You enjoy foreign life, your kids are international students and once they are through u get them fixed in big company’s. There’s God, continue. Aluko, if only we were bn given d post that was promised, you won’t leak all ur dark secrets. Aluko was my HOD during my university days. Smiles, very dubious human being, a powerful man who believes he can do and undo. Aluko will admits someone from law department to business admin department once u have your cash n can lay ur back the rest is history. Aluko, Backbones for the eye boys. I remember vividly, if you want to graduate with 2:1 pay the sum of 30k, Even if you can’t defend yourself, he refused to be bothered about that. Even at that you pay the sum of 1k to check ur results.(over 100 in class). I now Aluko very well. Aluko will never change greed human being, highly corrupt soul. I graduated in 2006.

Fear of unknown is what is affecting our politicians. They were so insecure and never belief in themselves. What they were stealing and hiding is enough for everybody if they have a good plan. Look at the way these criminals are wasting our money just because they must win the election. Why are we black race so wicked and never have human feelings? that is the reasons why the westerners classified our continent as “Dark Continent” we are indeed reasoning as black unintelligent people. What is pride in wasting Billions of Dollars while watching your people starving to death?. The biggest disappointment of them all is Jonathan. For those who are supporting Jonathan can you now see that it is clearly shown that all illegal spending and stealing was witnessed and endorsed by Jonathan. This is the guy that all Nigerians put their trust in and what he could do is to disappoint them. Jonathan is a wicked soul and intentionally inflicting injury on poor people.

The time has come for the police to arrest Fayose and his partners in crime and corruption in the Ekitigate scandal. Enough of the revelations. It is high time from EFCC, Police and even the Presidency to swing into action!
