Former governor of old Anambra State, Jim Nwobodo has denied media
reports that he collected any money from the embattled former National
Security Adviser, Dasuki Sambo. In an interview with
Premium Times, Nwobodo said the only money he collected was N100 million from his party PDP for campaign logistics.
"I have never met Sambo Dasuki. I know Yuguda as former minister, that
is all. What happened was that I was invited alongside 15 leaders of PDP
in the South East to the residence of Ahmed Muazu to collect the money
allocated to our zone by the PDP.
Three party leaders were selected from each of the
five states of the South East. I was selected to lead a committee of 15
to collect the N100million, which was shared to each one of us for
campaign logistics in our respective states. I was surprised to hear
that a report quoted me as saying I collected N500million from Muazu.
This is sheer lie as I have never previously spoken to any journalist on
this issue but today. So how come somebody concocted a figure and
attributed it to me? It was PDP as party that shared the money for
campaign not for our individual use,” he said
