Find the Punch report below...
The Peoples Democratic Party has alleged that an unnamed leader of the All Progressives Congress got a contract of N84bn from the suspended Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Lamido Sanusi.
The party said this was one of the reasons why the opposition party was pained when President Goodluck Jonathan suspended the CBN governor.
Apart from this, the party also alleged that another leader of the APC got another N5bn consultancy contract while Sanusi was in office.
The National Publicity Secretary of the
ruling party, Chief Olisa Metuh (pictured above), made the allegation at a press briefing
in Abuja on Thursday.
Metuh was commenting on the unveiling of the APC manifesto, which he said lacked character.
He said, “The spirited defence for the
suspended Central Bank Governor mounted by the APC was because the
leaders of the party benefitted immensely from Sanusi.
“A fraudulent N84bn contract was awarded
to a leader of the party while another N5bn was paid to another
stalwart of the party as consultancy fee.”
Metuh refused to give the names or the details of the contracts.
When asked for reaction, the Interim National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, promised to react “soon.”
He said he was attending a summit in Abuja.
Meanwhile, Metuh has described the manifesto which was released on Thursday as a product of what he called “Janjaweed ideology.”
He also described the manifesto as a
roadmap to anarchy which he said was typical of all anti-democratic
coalitions and claimed that the manifesto lacked character, depth and
that it completely addressed no issue.
Metuh said the manifesto ranked security
of lives and property low and that it gave no clue as to its
preparedness to tackle terrorism.
He added that the manifesto was a tacit
acknowledgment that the APC might be benefiting from the mayhem and knew
more than meet the eyes about the spate of terror attacks in the
country.
He said, “When last year in its first
official outing, the leaders of the APC said terrorism in Nigeria would
disappear within 100 days of APC leadership, Nigerians did ask if they
knew the characters in the crime and their sponsors. APC gave silence as
an answer while Nigerians kept wondering.
“Today, the party has released its
manifesto with loud silence on the matter so that Nigerians would not
raise further questions on the face behind the terrorism mask.”
On job creation and war against
corruption which the APC projected as cardinal on its manifesto, Metuh
said the APC had no credible recipe for job creation nor had it shown
the strength of character to fight corruption more than the PDP.
He said, “The PDP created
anti-corruption agencies – the Independent Corrupt Practices and other
related offences Commission, the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission and established the Freedom of Information Act to further
give teeth to the war on graft.
“The PDP-led Federal Government has also
shown no preferences in its battle against corruption as senior party
leaders as well as relations have at one time or another been made to
face the law on charges of corruption.”

Na dem sabi
i wil always support the suspension of sanusi
pls bring more heartbreaking stories like this jor
#hater #patriot
I don't know why PDP is always sounding petty.
For crying out loud if the APC leader met the requirements and us qualified for the contract why won't he be awarded the contract.
Always looking for excuses look at long queues at petrol stations,I guess its from the opposition too.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
PDP hav no moral right to call out APC!
So? All of you na thief.. person wey efcc catch na barawo
They should mention the leader's name. Anything short of that is mere hearsay and speculations.
"When last year in its first official outing, the leaders of the APC said terrorism in Nigeria would disappear within 100 days of APC leadership, Nigerians did ask if they knew the characters in the crime and their sponsors. APC gave silence as an answer while Nigerians kept wondering"
Ok,we have heard you.but your government has consistently said they know those behind these bh menace.why haven't you also named and prosecuted them.
Name the recipients of the contracts given by sanusi and stop this hogwash you are all doing.you are all a bunch of wicked hearted people.pitching us Nigerians against each other while you share amongst yourselves our resources,silly old men and women

First there is no honesty in all of this messages you will find out they are just political, more or less trying to rubbish people because you would like to look good not that am saying APC is not with blemish but the basis of getting contracts should be by your capabilities and not party affiliations if indeed the CBN governor awarded contracts to some people in the APC all we need is proof that they came through or didn't instead of all this ranting from some of this political misfits... #smartclown
I never liked that sanusi guy #bright bravo#
I believe dis... Sanusi was just too close to APC people.... Elrufai is his paddy sef...lol

So? Are they not Nigerians or do we expect aliens to come to Nigeria and get contracts? They should also give us the names of PDP members who have contracts with the CBN and the value. They should not also forget to list the names of PDP members who continue to rape this country through the NNPC and various wicked oil contracts and subsidy scams. Where is our $20b? Is that one in the account of APC leaders as well?? GEJ and his cohorts have no real answers to Nigeria's problems. They lack ideas, as such only seek to blame others for their lack of initiative and ineptitude.
complete rubbish
Am like a commission watching brief.
Linda u r so biased. R u also on pdp payroll? Isn't dis also an allegation that might b true o untrue? Y didn't u report d Reno story? Instead u choose only stories that mar Sanusi. Fear God. If u like don't post it, eat d comment mtswwww
"PDP is claiming that an APC leader got a contract worth N84billion from recently suspended CBN governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and that is why APC what pained when Sanusi was removed"

And under OBJ, Yara'adua or GEJ, no PDP Chieftain has gotten any contract from the government?
Or no PDP member hot a contract under Sanusi?
It is this kind of playing to the gallery that is used to obfuscate facts and play on our intelligence so as to divide us. Please let PDP publish a list of everyone that received contracts understand Sanusi with their political party affiliations, only then should this hold any water.
THIEVEMENT!!!!!!
THIS OLD-BALDED MORONS
WHY ARE THEY TRYNNA SHIfT THE ATTENTION FROM D ALLEGATIONS
LIKE WE HAVEN'T SEEN OR HRD OF BETTER MANIFESTOES
APC IS GONNA BE WORST DAN PDP I SWEAR
What Nigeria needs now is power tussle at the centre. This would curb the excesses of political figures. Not saying APC is any better than PDP, but lets eat the egusi they are bringing before we judge the cook who prepared it
Imagine such nonsense billion don turn rubbish 4 Naija. All dis politics sef
*******A-BELLE****
Dey use Nigerian pple money to dey do eoneee....etwooo....God will judge all of u...bunch of terrorists Wey full apc...bunch of thieves wey full pdp...
He should tell us the names of the people who got the jobs and show proofs and not just make baseless claims. These guys play politics with everything no matter how serious! He needs to show that contracts were awarded illegally and without due process, that the companies and individuals are not qualified and that the contract sums are inflated and so on. PDP must up the game if they want us to take them serious. Was Sanusi sacked because he awarded contracts to APC members? The President did not say so. This whole thing could have been better dealt with if we have people who think deeply.
Lol,everyone is viable for a contract and any benefiting individual should be pained when the contract cease to come#pDp still dey follow ApC run childish talk,na wa oh
False propaganda. ...is linda ikeji now an extension of the PDP? ??????????
All this mofos should stop pointin fingers....Move on abeg..no one is interested!!
This is serious.these PDP and APC are now in serious war.good, APC initiated it.their criticism is not constructive #wearewatching.
I support change cos dis PDP led FG has failed 2 create jobs,tackle insecurity and corruption.... Bt APC has a lot 2 do 2 assure nigerians dat d party isn't a northern affair dan reading its manifesto behind closed doors
Sanusi is gone for ever with his Islamic and Northern agenda. My only problem with GEJ is that he is too slow to act. He would have removed and tried Sanusi 25 months earlier.
wateva mehn
Hmm, none of them is clean..hmm.
Proof..Proof ..otherwise all this na super story!!
Nice1 n credit 2 PDP
Well said.most big wig oil marketers are pdp sponsors.most big wig politicians are pdp sponsors or members.you and I even when qualified can't get a contract out of pdp controlled states if we don't know a pdp oga.so please they should keep quiet and govern.
Exactly.and while they are at it,they should please tell us where the $20 billion is.
Hello Igor.how have you been?
Bravo
PDP are worse thieves
All na d same dont mind them
What is PDP trying to prove? Exploiting opportunities to expose APC dealings and to justify what? We already know you parties and we don't trust anyone of you. Can the Holy PDP tell us why there's fuel scarcity now? This is hurting us badly at the moment. We seriously need visionary leaders. Check out APC urges Nigerian Government to explain reasons for fuel scarcity
All the monies being named in the media and yet more than half of the countries population are poor?! And the idiots are consuming the countries resources without a care in the world!
not suprised

I talk am say Sanusi na APC Brass Man#
Bonario, shut up dirty trap. U don't see anything wrong with nepotism and favoritism because it has to do with apc, ur party. If it were pdp leader that was awarded such contract, you'll be crying blue murder by now. That's what is wrong with the country. U close ur yes provided it's ur person that is corrupting or being corrupted, but once it's somebody from the other side, u will come out in full force shouting hypocritically. Pathetic!
''That is why APC WAS pained'' taake note
Thank God u ( Badfoo of Toronto ) & orda sane nigerians knw dat whether PDP, APC or PAC wat ever form dey cme dey re all d same. Dey re fighting 4 der interest.

Faggot
Cos they are a sad bunch. They are talking abt a total of 84 billion NAIRA. We are still waiting on an explanation for the missing 20 billion DOLLARSSSS. PDP = jokers
its now clear 2me dat Linda is now a PDP member...its so certain dat d ruling party has norin 2offer....it does mk sense wen u try 2 shift d allegation 2 APC....linda u neva bothered 2 follow d story on d 20b dollars
Nigeria where LIVE TRAGIC COMEDY do happen every day.
How can a spoke person for a political party come to make public accusation without substantiating his allegation.
We need names of those APC politician that were awarded the contract by Sanusi, secondly we need to know whether due process has been followed in the award of those contract. Thirdly we also want to know how many PDP politician were awarded a contract by Sanusi.
Please Linda tell PDP spoke person that we have more inportant issue to talk about in Nigeria now like fuel scarcity, insecurity, kidnapping, drop in power supply than baseless accusation.
What is petty about giving an individual 86billion contract! We must learn to critisize both parties when need be!
Linda doesn't need to be on any political party to report stories! She's not supposed to be partisan! She should report both sides! APC will show you pepper! Just wait!
So she should only report stories that favour APC?? You are all so backward and brainwashed! Both parties are coorrupt! Sanusi is arrogant,rude,tribalist,biased about Christianity,award contracts to his friends etc! If na stella now,yu go say hang her! What is good for the goose is goood for the gander!
God bless. You my brother! APC can't live in glass houses and be throwing stones! Both parties are corrupt! Who does not know the party is being funded through lagos state taxes by Opolo Eyes! Let both parties spill their secrets!
True! GEJ treated him like a sacred cow despite his northern and islamic agendas! And some omo ale westerners are siding him! Its true we need mre info but don't discard his many misbehaviors
What's your proof dumb blonde! Let's even say PDP is a bigger thief,should we let everybody start stealing with impunity?
What a sad generation! No intellectual contribution! APC can even kill your parents,you will pardon them! If you want APC in poower they have to be held accountable too! Let them "jeun soke" as Lagosians told tinubu! You are creating a monster in APC that would be worse than PDP!
Congratulations to APC! They've succeded in brain washing Nigerians!have you asked yourself who are those funding boko haram? They same group who promised to make naija ungovernable! The same party that wantedmoney paid to boko haram! Until US labelled bh a terrorist org! Nigerians think deeply!
Stupid politicians
Any boss,be it head mechanic,amala seller,governor etc who has such a poompous employee like sanusi would sack him immdiately! Step away for a minute from your hatred of GEJ,maybe then you can be more objective!
Up APC! Filled with PDP thieves! Hahahahaha!!
Shut bonario smallie. When was the last time you experienced fuel scarcity in nigeria? I bet your father cannot even handle his little family not to talk of governing a state
Bonario it seems u are blind in mind when reading? Didn't you hear him say 'FRAUDULENT CONTRACTS' ode oshi. So sanusi was empowering Apc with fictitious contracts. No wonder they are 'bugaing' all over the place. I said that any place Tinubu is, there must be fraud, dishonesty, ole ole etc. Search light should be beam on Amechi of Rivers state, cos the sudden likeness by these southwest guys is suspicious. Over to you presido.
Idiots so you don't know those that were given the contracts? El-rufai 84billion naira which were fictitious that was why he went to welcome him at the airport, abi una don forget. Lie Mohammed got the 5billion naira consultancy fee. Nija shine your eyes, the devil you know is better than the angel u don't know ooooo!
People papa wey dey behave like fools! Nigeria government dey full of idiots! I am so ashamed of this country! They are busy pointing fingers at each other, they are not able to achieve one single thing. Everyone of them is corrupt. Fools! They are not even playing the politics well. Bloated fools! Greedy people. Thinking of all the Nincompoops we have in government can give someone high blood pressure. So its better to turn our faces and ignore these animals.
Dis idiots , dey did'nt talk abt dia own, dey are angry bcos other party are getting contract. Can they tell us that dey are not receiving contract too from the federal government more than oda people? Foolish people, na oda people's success dey always pain dem.
Shut ur mouth, what do you know?? Do you think this is social studies or integrated science. Brat like you.
Mallam labaran musa.
Olisa sharrap sharrap u re a bastards fool look @ dis idiot, PDP everywhere corrupt, PDP must go com 2015..
Olisa sharrap sharrap u re a bastards fool look @ dis idiot, PDP everywhere corrupt, PDP must go com 2015 they re evil leaders..
We need another political party,I swear! No way I will vote for APC or PDP! What's Labour offering us? Heard Olu Falae is resetting SDP! Sanusi deserves to be sacked! He can't give opposition money to campaign against the Govt that appointed him!84billion$ contract to one man!!!
Ur greedy tribesmen and their cohorts ruled Nigeria for donkey years creating untold harship to the citizenry, which GEJ is solving. Now u hv d audacity to state that that GEJ lack initiative.
