Soludo supporters don't care even if he contests under Boko Haram party as long as his name appears on the ballot.

I doubt it, because Rochas who was a performer as we were made to believe became a clown and an ingrate immediately he joined amala and bokoharamic party(APC).

III: SELECTED AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
Chukwuma Soludo served the Federal Government of Nigeria under two Presidents and below are excerpts of what each had to say about his services to Nigeria:
Charles Soludo is a true Nigerian. He is the sort of Nigerian that we all know we can rely on. Among his numerous virtues is COURAGE. I have found in him a man who can take tough and realistic decisions, stand his ground, educate others on the salience of his decision, and work very hard to ensure that the decision is efficiently and effectively implemented. His dedication to duty is first rate. His leadership qualities are admirable and his willingness to listen and learn is simply infectious.
Professor Soludo has within a short time emerged as one of the leading lights of our nation. Not because he has a godfather but by sheer hard work, loyalty, dedication to duty, commitment to the nation, creativity, and undiluted association with the reform agenda....”. President Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR (December, 2004)
President Yar’Adua had the following to say about the Central Bank of Nigeria under Soludo’s leadership:
“… the CBN has performed creditably well in delivering on its core mandates. This is especially even more so in the last five years. Most people would agree that without the successful banking consolidation and effective management of our foreign reserves, the current global crisis would have shaken the financial system and our national economy to their foundations with calamitous consequences”; President Yar’Adua (May 2009).
In the President’s letter of commendation after completion of his tenure of office, President Yar’Adua had the following to say to Soludo:
12
As your tenure as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria comes to a glorious end, I write on behalf of the Government and people of Nigeria to place on record our debt of gratitude to you for your dedicated service and uncommon sense of duty over the past five years. I am confident that your worthy antecedents in the CBN and in prior appointments in the service of our nation remain sources of inspiration to an entire generation. As I wish you even more astounding successes in the years ahead, it is my fervent hope that you will readily avail us of your distinguished service when the need arises in the future” (June 01, 2009).

N750m scam: EFCC detains Soludo

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday interrogated and detained the immediate past Governor of Central Bank, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in Abuja.

Commission’s media unit confirmed his presence at the commission.

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for 2010 governorship election in Anambra State was reportedly invited by the commission over the alleged bribery case involving the printing of N5, N10, and N20 during his tenure at the bank.

A very top source within the commission told the Nigerian Tribune that Soludo honoured the commission’s invitation and was quizzed for several hours.

He was said to have arrived the commission’s office at about 2 pm and when the Nigerian Tribune called the media unit of the commission a few minutes to 7.00 p.m., he was reportedly still under interrogation.

When the top source was asked if he would be released on administrative bail yesterday night, our correspondent was told that “you can be rest assured that by the time your story is out tomorrow, he would still be here. So if you wrote that he was released on administrative bail last night, then you would be feeding the reading public with incorrect information.”

A media unit source further stated that “he was invited and he appeared today. He is still with us and we are together. He is undergoing interrogation. If you check the time now (6.41 p.m.), you can guess how long he has been with us because he came in the afternoon during the working hours.”

“We asked him to come and explain his roles in the activities surrounding the bribery allegations on the printing of those notes. The case for which he was invited is about the Australian currency mint company, Securency, that handled polymer banknotes and what transpired in the course of printing those notes.”

It was gathered that a couple of former and serving CBN officials were also being interrogated over the alleged bribery deal.

When contacted, EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren was said to be in a crucial meeting.

A group, HEDA Resource Centre had petitioned the commission, demanding an investigation into the alleged currency scandal between 2006 and 2008.

The group’s chairman, Akaninyeme Enzina was invited by the commission on August 22, 2012 to defend the petition which was dated May 23, 2012.

HEDA’s petition had demanded the investigation and prosecution of serving and retired government officials indicted in the alleged scandal which stemmed from the printing of polymer Naira notes during the tenure of Professor Soludo at the Central Bank of Nigeria between 2006 and 2008.

The petition charged both the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to undertake this investigation and prosecution as empowered by laws establishing both institutions.

The petition was predicated on the printing of the notes which were allegedly printed in Australia in a fraudulent deal, following which The Age, a local newspaper, reported that former workers at Securency, The Reserve Bank of Australia’s currency firm, had told the police the firm produced millions of partly made Nigerian bank notes without authorisation from the Nigerian authorities.

In effect, the former staff said that was counterfeiting. The newspaper reported that the Australian Federal Police had subsequently investigated Securency over alleged bribery of foreign officials, including Nigerian and Vietnamese officials, to win contracts in these countries.

HEDA’s petition, according to Mr. Suraju, drew attention to the fact that The Age reported that Securency paid some N750 million in bribes to some officials of the CBN between 2006 and 2008 in order to secure the contract to make polymer notes for Nigeria, channeling the bribes through Benoy Berry and Michael Harvey, two British businessmen.

HEDA chairman further claimed that ,“The petition reminded the anti corruption institutions of a publication of Sydney Herald that on September 29, 2009, a day before the launching of the N5, N10 and N20 polymer notes, Benoy Berry, one of the British businessmen sent a letter to Myles Curtis (then Managing Director of Securency International Pty Limited, an Australian company) alleging a breach of contract and accusing the bank note company of bribing top officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria to secure contract for Securency. He also accused Securency of breaching polymer-based mint planned to be established in Nigeria as part of principled objectives of transferring technology to developing nations.”

Interesting, so if he is such a questionable character, what moral grounds will he have to lead a state? Someone tell me because it is not done like that in any decent country I know in this world. I also noticed he just joined a party a few weeks ago and he is already a candidate? That cannot be right, so did he join just to be handed a ticket to governorship?

Obi: he was but there are a whole lots of juice to squeeze out from Soludo if you know what I mean. Oseloka will only deplete me the more resources wise. But then, he is my back up in the event that Soludo encounters hiccup before the elections.

Gej: can you help me, okwute? There is this woman in the race. Ekwunife, the house of representatives member. She is dogged, fearless and outspoken.

Obi: what then happens to Soludo and Osaloke?

Gej: pencilled down their names for ministerial appointment, anything thereafter. Convey this to the two and ask them to remain in your party for future federal juice.
