Former national Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Board Of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih has explained to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) how he shared the N260 million he got from embattled former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, to some party members for the purpose of Presidential campaign for former President Goodluck Jonathan’s second-term bid.
In a letter he wrote to the Commission, Anenih was said to have told the anti graft body that he gave N63 million to a group coordinated by a former Special Assistant to former President Shehu Shagari, Tanko Yakassai, for the 2015 presidential election.
Anenih was also said to have disbursed the money to various other groups whose identities he did not disclose but which EFCC is currently investigating.
Meanwhile, the Commission has indicated its intention to invite Yakassai to shed more light on why his group was allocated N63million arms funds even as it has already invited Anenih to make a Statement on Oath and for interrogation. [myad]
