Ex - Minister Aminu Wali admits collecting N950m campaign funds

 

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.
