How Peter Obi Collected N27billion From Diezani And
Betrayed Jonathan Instead
The noisy remnants of the colossal failure of the incumbent
President at the presidential polls of March 28, 2015 may
have begun to make its last exit from the national political
scene but the intrigues surrounding the embarrassing lose
may have only begun to leak out to the public terrain. This
is as information available to 247ureports.com indicates
the Deputy Director General of the Goodluck Jonathan
presidential campaign organization – responsible for the
operation in the south south and south east geopolitical
zones in the person of Mr. Peter Obi is significantly
responsible for the embarrassment suffered by President
Jonathan on March 28, 2015.
As a caveat, shortly after the gubernatorial elections in
Anambra State – that saw the victorious ascension of Willie
Obiano of the All Progressive Grand Alliance [APGA] to the
seat of governor – Mr. Peter Obi announced his
decampment from the APGA to the Peoples Democratic
Party [PDP] in a manner that saw the mighty chieftains of
the PDP at his home Onitsha to receive him into the party.
The decampment stole the headlines of many national news
dailies and shocked many of the members of the APGA and
those within PDP. Mr. Peter Obi had stated that he decided
to join the PDP to help reelect President Jonathan. In return,
the former governor of Anambra State under the APGA
banner and now a PDP member was said to have been
promised by President Jonathan a ministerial position –
likely the Minister of Aviation – to replace the sacked Stella
Odua. But the promise never materialized – largely owing
to insistence by PDP chieftains from Anambra who
threatened President Jonathan to drop the notion of
appointing Mr. Peter Obi a minister from Anambra.
So as the preparations towards the presidential campaign
fell into gear, and as President Jonathan set up his
presidential campaign organization, Mr. Peter Obi was
assigned in charge of the south east – and given the
organizational title of deputy director general. Mr. Peter Obi
became in charge of dissemination of resources and
finances for all political activities within the said region –
including on Election Day.
The beginnings of the betrayal by Peter Obi came when the
Election Day plan was developed by a campaign team
employed by the presidency to map out a strategy for
victory at the polls. The campaign team were reported to
comprise of former top officers of the Independent National
Electoral Commission [INEC] and of the Nigerian intelligence
community. The team’s primary responsibility included
coercion of voters and INEC workers at the polling units on
March 28, 2015 through heavy financial inducement.
A competent source conversant with the activities within
the presidency revealed to 247ureports.com the strategy
employed. Varying amounts of monies were earmarked for
polling units across the country. For the south south and
south east geopolitical zones – which the team marked as
green states – were earmarked for N300,000 per polling
unit – while the polling units in the north central zone –
which were marked as grey states – were earmarked
N500,000 per polling unit. The team had targeted having a
significantly bumped up voter turnout rate in the three
geopolitical zones of south south, south east, and north
central – to outbalance the expected poll figures from the
north west and north east geopolitical zones.
Through this effect, the sum of N27billion was earmarked
for the south east and south south – and was remitted to the
deputy director general – Mr. Peter Obi – through the
instrumentality of the minister of petroleum resources, Mrs.
Diezani Allison Madueke. The money was remitted by
Diezani Allison Madueke.
But on Election Day, the south east states did not deliver
enough votes for the President. Mr. Peter Obi, according to
PDP chieftains who participated in Anambra elections on
March 28, 2015, failed to distribute the money as agreed in
the plan. Only N30,000 was distributed instead of the
N300,000. For this reason, the INEC polling officials were
not as willing to bump up the poll numbers as was done in
2011. The numbers registered at the south east polling units
averaged at 550,000 to 660,000 for the PDP per state
against an available voter’s strength that averages a little
below 2,000,000 for each of the south east states –
equivalent to about 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 votes – enough
to give the President the expected victory.
With the defeat of March 28, 2015, it became clear to many
within the outer circles of the PDP of the betrayal that might
have taken place. While the PDP stalwarts observed that
the PDP senatorial and House of Representatives
candidates were able to manipulate their results to an easy
victory for the south east and south south states – the likes
of Senator Andy Uba, Stella Odua and Uche Ekwunife – in
Anambra State.
Some of the concerned PDP chieftains – the like of Arthur
Eze and others – found the actions of Mr. Peter Obi as clear
betrayal of the party and of their presidential candidate. He
clearly pointed to Peter Obi as responsible for the failed
execution of the planned strategy. He “kept the money”
given to him. Other chieftains within the APGA in Anambra
state who also supported President Jonathan’s reelection
also found Mr. Peter Obi’s actions as betrayal. The
Anambra State APGA chairman, Mike Kwento was
unapologetically stern as he told 247ureports.com that Mr.
Peter Obi had taken President Jonathan for a ‘419’ lesson.
The national chairman of APGA was also unforgiving as he
called Mr. Peter Obi as ‘gamester’ who seized on an
