I was a key player too. If I wasn’t key, why would they give me money? What happened was when Goodluck Jonathan wanted re-election as President at that time, religious leaders were called. Chiefs were also called. It was at the Port Harcourt International Airport.

He held a press conference and those of us in his campaign committee had a big bus that conveyed all of us as a team. Now when this money Wike is talking about was given to me— two sets, not one as he’s suggesting— I didn’t know how much. I was asked to give to religious organisations and to chiefs.


Rev Zilly Aggrey was CAN Chairman. I went to him and said take, I was asked to give this to you. He said I should give it to his secretary, a lady that was behind him. I gave it to the lady and that was done.

What about the share for traditional rulers?
The Governor, maybe he hasn’t good memory, was lying to people that the Chairman of Council of Chiefs then was the one who called him that they can’t find the kola. That’s a lie. The Chairman of Council of Chiefs then was King Ginuwa. I call him Papa. That’s my father. I am a member of Tai Council of Chiefs and Elders.


I was Secretary of the electoral body that made King Ginuwa the Gbenemene of Tai.

I am from a dignified family, well nurtured. I can’t steal. To Wike, I am royalty, so I can’t steal. So, King Ginuwa was not there because he was not even supporting the Governor. Because we couldn’t find him, I went to Emma Okah and asked, what do we do with this money, since we can’t find the king? Okah said, John, you keep this money since Ginuwa is not here, later we will give it to them.


It was a campaign period. I called my driver who came with the car, the bus he (Wike) gave me. I gave the bag of money to that driver, not knowing how much. I couldn’t have opened it, didn’t open it, never even knew it was dollars.

The driver left while I joined the big bus. For three days running I didn’t even remember that money. I was in the village campaigning when they called. I told them I was in the village campaigning for him. That the money was with my driver in Port Harcourt, and that I was going to come. I came to Port Harcourt, called my driver. He brought the money.

Who is this again

Am telling, he just finished taking his early morning beer.

Ororo no bi Crude oil.

After almost 6 years, GEJ is still tormenting them. Same Gej who strolls into Aso Rock at will to see their god and savior. APC imbéciles are a useless lot i swear

Jonathan is the man foolhari can never be..
Under this administration, terrorists are sharing government money amongst themselves

Jonathan is the man, foolhari can never be..
Under this administration, terrorists that should be 6 feet below are sharing government kola amongst themselves..

But things were cheaper then than now.
Buhari drank satchet Milo #20 .now that Milo is #60

Looking at some of the comments above me shows why we won't be able to fioght corruption in Nigeria

Most of the comments above are busily excusing the corruption under GEJ's regime. Apparently , in the words of one of the commenters above it was okay because a satchet of milo cost 20 naira then...apparently.

GEJ's corrupt regime is part of the reason why we also have issues in our economy today. And insecuirty was a serious problem under his regime.

Now, Buhari is no better. APC is just the Northern dominated flavour of the PDP. And five years after being voted into office, the North is in an even worse state than it was under GEJ.And the economy is in dire straits self.

But the above article posted by OP tells us that contrary to the myths being bandied around....GEJ' and even the precceding PDP admins, it must be said were corrupt, and very corrupt...and saying that does not mean that I think Buhari is an angel

Once upon a time, a loaf of bread cost N1.50K and milk cost less than 50 kobo.....

That was during the year 1978....

One thing the year 1978 and GEJ's time share....is that the price of oil was high...and as a result, Nigeria had enough dollars to

1.Keep the value of the naira up
2.Import goods and raw materials cheaply.

GEJ was no economic mastermind....by January 2015, the economy was in a bad state that 1) we were taking loans to pay salaries, 2) we were draining the frex reserves to keep the value of the naira up 3) NOI was saying that whoever won the election would face hard times economically.

It is called Dutch disease. Dutch disease roughly speaking means that countries become less productive due to high importation of stuff...due to the high price of the raw material they sell.

between 1973-82, 1990-92, AND 2007-14, we had good times when oil prices were high. When oil prices crashed (1982, and 2014) the good times went.

Before you abuse me, I happen to regard Buhari as a poor manager of the economy too...especially as he had readily available tools to fix the economy which had he applied them in June 2015...would have led to a massive improvement in our economy...AND crucially gotten us off our dependence on oil.

This was one of the reasons the lazy youths and the anointed men of devil don't like PMB.
They shared almost everything under looting is not corruption Govt aka Pandemic development party

How will it not be cheaper when you have eaten your yesterday under the GEJ administration

Goatluck Jonaddaft has not denied that he is a useless looter. That is why he has turned himself to Buhari’s errand boy so that EFCC will not disgrace him and his hippopotamus wife. But those surrounding Buhari too are looters that is if Buhari too is not looting
