The loan was allegedly approved by the State House of Assembly after an unknown amount of money was agreed to be given to them as kickbacks in the Speakers residence. Ironically, the sum of N5 billion given to Mu’azu and his deputy was not used to build the house but given to them in cash. This fraudulent money is taken in the midst of unpaid salaries of workers for the past two months
Sources within the state who confided in us revealed that the money was given to the PDP Chairman to enable him facilitate Yuguda who is secretly nursing Senatorial ambition into the red chambers. Part of the money we gathered will also be used to get a new house for the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Aminu Hamayyo in Abuja, while he is meant to live in Bauchi.
The remaining money is expected to disappear into the private pockets of the governor, alleged the source.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed not to allow anyone to take over the Peoples Democratic Party structure in Rivers State. The former Rivers State Governor vowed to cause a political crisis in their states if any PDP governor tried interfering in the party’s affairs…
