Former Secretary to the Governmentof the Federation and National Leader of the Social Democratic Party, Chief Olu Falae has explained why he collected N100 million from Peoples Democratic Party’s Board ofTrustees, Chief Tony Anenih.
Falae while speaking with Punch explained that Anenih visited him in Akure to seek his party’s support prior to the 2015 General Elections and he gave him six conditions before accepting the N100m.
Falae said“The PDP’s Board of Trustees’ chairman came to me in Akure to seek our support.
We gave him six conditions; that they should have zero tolerance for corruption, create job for the unemployed, fight insurgency and restore security in Nigeria, reduce recurrent expenditure to have money for capital development, etc; that if they (PDP) accept those conditions, we would support them.
“That was the basis for our cooperation to support their presidential candidate; that was the purpose for which the money was given.
They realised that the SDP had no money; we had no government (post). He (Anenih) said without money, we would not be able to be effective.
So, he sent us the money, which I passed on to the SDP and it was distributed to all the states (chapters) of the federation, while our people were instructed to campaign for their presidential candidate during the election.
This was the story.”Falae also categorically stated that all the money gathered was fully remitted to the party.
