His
statement of witness read in part:
“For
the cash disbursement of N600million, it was meant for the six zonal chairmen
for Contact and Mobilisation Committees for Election of 2015. The chairmen are
Bode George, Amb. Yerima Abdullahi; Peter Odili; Attahiru Bafarawa; Jim
Nwobodo; Ahmadu Ali. The sum of N100million was given to each chairman. I gave
the money in company of Prof Alkali, who was Political Adviser to former
president. The zonal chairmen are for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). I
also instructed Jabbama Limited to transfer the sum of N100m to Dalhatu Limited
on the request of Attahiru Bafarawa.
“I also
remember that Bello Sarkin Yaki was among the people that the then NSA
instructed that I send the sum of N200million to. He was the PDP gubernatorial
candidate in Kebbi state.”
