Ex- Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali has confessed to collecting
950 Million Naira campaign funds, he said money shared at Shekarau’s
House.
Wali was arrested on Thursday by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) over the campaign funds.
Speaking on a local ra-dio programme monitored in Kano, the former
Nigeria’s Ambassador to China admitted receiving the campaign funds as the
head of a seven-man committee for Kano State.
The former minister said he was only invited by the EFCC to explain what
he knew about the money and he was allowed to take his leave. Shekarau may
appear before the anti-graft agency to explain his role in the sharing of
the N950 million campaign funds.
The EFCC had, on Thursday, grilled Wali and ex-Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs, Dr. Nurudeen Mohammed. Both Wali and Mohammed served in
the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
Mohammed was alleged to have collected N500 million from the campaign
funds. It was learnt that the amounts were part of money said to have been
allegedly budgeted for the 2015 general elections by Mrs. Diezani
Alison-Madueke, the former Minister of Petroleum Resources.
