A former acting governor of
Taraba State, Sani Abubakar Danladi, has revealed how he and others shared N450
million meant to influence victory for former President Goodluck Jonathan
during the 2015 general elections.
He said the amount was part of
the N23 billion allegedly doled out by former Minister of Petroleum, Deziani
Allison Madueke to influence the outcome of the poll.
Danladi, who was arrested last
week in Abuja but released on bail, told EFCC investigators that he collected
the money through Senator Joel Danlami Ikenya and Honourable Mark Bako Useni.
This is contained in a statement
released to the media by Gombe state zonal office of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The ex-acting governor was also
quoted to have informed operatives that he chaired the eight-man committee that
disbursed the money for Taraba state.
Danladi disclosed that he and the
other members of the committee shared N36m among themselves.
He added that the balance of
N414m was distributed to other stakeholders across the 16 Local Government
Areas of the state and one Development Area Council.
