Jonathan Not A Christian, Serves Voodoo, Looted N32b From Bayelsa - Ex-Aide
Frank Akpoebi, a close political associate of
President Goodluck Jonathan, declared on Sunday
that a whopping N32 billion was missing from the
treasury of Bayelsa State Government when
Jonathan was governor between 2005 and 2007.
He made the stunning revelation on Sunday at a
press conference held at the National
Headquarters of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Abuja where he gave reasons for his
defection and of hundreds of others from the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to APC.
Akpoebi served as Commissioner of Health in Mr.
Jonathan’s administration during his
governorship. A founding member of the PDP in
Bayelsa, he was also a Federal Commissioner in
the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal
Commission.
Of the missing N32 billion, he called on Bayelsans
to ask Mr. Jonathan to refund the money before
he can ask for their votes again, adding that there
had been speculation that he used the money to
sponsor himself and late Umaru Yar’Adua in the
2011 election.
“I served in the State Executive Council with Dr,
Goodluck Jonathan and I questioned one of his
series of contracts he used in siphoning the
Bayelsa State treasury was his singular approval
of Two Billion Naira for sand stock piling at
Yenogoa for Bayelsa indigenes to park and use to
start a building project I stood up to oppose it
but yet Two Billion Naira was paid but a drop of
sand was not dropped.”
He described President Jonathan as incompetent,
and as the architect of religion and ethnic politics
that have divided many Nigerians.
“This President is the richest President in Africa,”
Akpoebi declared. “Dr. Goodluck Jonathann has
invested in five business men who are highly
celebrated Billionaires in Nigeria. And three of
them came back to raise election funds to
sponsor him to increase his investment on them
while Nigerians will continue to live poverty,
deprivation and insecurity. This is a vicious circle
that we must not continue with it.”
The Conference was attended Timipreye Silva,
another former governor of Bayelsa, Hilland Etah,
the National Vice Chairman APC South-South, and
other political stalwart in the State. He
mentioned many other national issues. He
defected to the APC alongside hundreds of PDP
Chieftains from Bayelsa State.
It would be recalled that in 2006, before President
Obasanjo arbitrarily picked him for the vice-
presidency, Mr. Jonathan was one of 15
governors indicted by a federal panel for false
declaration of assets, and recommended for
prosecution in line with the Code of Conduct
Bureau Act.
The powerful inter-agency Joint Task Force on
corruption was headed by the then chairman of
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
Mr. Nuhu Ribadu. Its indictment of Mr. Jonathan
was on account of several issues, including Mr.
Jonathan’s N18 million Lexus Jeep which he
falsely claimed in 2004 he had acquired through
savings.
“Verification reveals that the Jeep was a gift
collected in contravention of the Code of Conduct
Bureau Act of 1990,” the panel said. “Same for
BMW 7351 Series bought in 2005 worth N5.5
million.”
The panel also listed Mr. Jonathan’s acquisition
of properties outside legitimate income, including:
Seven Bedroom Duplex acquired in 2001 worth
N18 million at Otuke Ogbia LGA;
Four Bedroom Duplex acquired in 2003 worth N15
million at Goodluck Jonathan Street, Yenegoa;
and
Five Bedroom Duplex - acquired in 2003 worth
N25 million at Citec Villas, Gwarimpa II, Abuja.
Akpoedi also refuted Mr. Jonathan’s claims to
being a Christian, saying that as a close friend of
the President as admitted by Mr. Jonathan during
one of his presidential briefings, he knows for
certain Jonathan is no Christian, and that he has
admitted he does not know how to forgive.
“Dr. Goodluck Jonathan I know serves voodoo.
And that is what he practices. In 2006 in the
dining at the Governor’s Lodge Yenegoa, he did
not pray before eating, so I asked him why, he
replied me that he has not prayed in his life. I
was really worried hearing that from him. The
following day we were discussing when
Dr.Goodluck told me he has a weakness and that
he does not know how to forgive.
“Dr. Goodluck should desist from using religion or
the churches to advance his campaign or
adoption, because it will make to expose him
further,” Akpedi said. “We want a country of
peace, love and security.”
Here is the full text of his speech at the
Conference:
As a founding member of PDP Bayelsa State and
funded 60% of the party at its formation between
1988-early 1999. I am well known and respected
by politicians within the state and beyond.
The PDP under Dr.Goodluck Jonathan has totally
lost Good governance. There are six things he
failed in his administration that bothers on my
personal integrity, ideology and the interest of our
great country-Nigeria.
1 Insecurity
2 Corruption
3 Unemployment
4 Poverty
5 Power (Electricity)
6 Economy (Naira
Devaluation)
Above all Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has brought
politics of religion, Tribe, North/South dichotomy
and hate . Infact, Dr. Goodluck started exhibiting
all these vices when he was Governor of Bayelsa
State. As a Deputy Governor,he has some
obstacles so when he became Governor, it was a
payback time . He started punishing the ijaws
that brought him to power in the state. Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan started playing politics of
divide and rule.
He also made sure no project goes to any ijaw
village and any Ijaw person is empowered in
Bayelsa .This he has continued till date . I served
in the State Executive Council with Dr, Goodluck
Jonathan and I questioned one of his series of
contracts he used in siphoning the Bayelsa State
treasury was his singular approval of Two Billion
Naira (2,000,000,000.00) for sand stock piling at
Yenogoa for Bayelsa indigenes to park and use to
start a building project I stood up to oppose it
but yet Two Billion Naira was paid but a drop of
sand was not dropped.
During Dr. Goodluck’s administration Thirty Billion
Naira was missing in Bayelsa State Treasury.
Bayelsans should ask him to refund this missing
money before he should ask them of their
votes. There was speculation that he used the
money to sponsor himself and Late Yar’adua in
2011 election. So I called on you Dr.Goodluck
Jonathan to return this Thirty Billion and two Two
Billion to Bayelsa State before asking for their
votes or best explain the whereabouts of these
monies.
Much do I know ,that Dr. Goodluck is not a good
manager of resources since he is embedded in
corruption from when he was the Governor of
Bayelsa State. Today our foreign reserve is
depleted. Our Naira is devalued. Poverty and
unemployment is a National Pride . Insecurity
and Nigerian Children, mothers and fathers dying
in the North-East and yet he wants the votes of
North- East . Is this not insensibility and insult to
the people of this zone and by extension and
insult to our collective psychic as a nation? And
yet he sponsors some persons in the Niger Delta
Project only and no other part of this country has
a right to become President until he finish to
divide us, impoverish, oppress, squander our
economy and plant corruption as a subject in our
schools and we were corruption as toga around
the world.
This President is the richest President in the
Africa. Dr. Goodluck Jonatahn has invested in five
business men who are highly celebrated
Billionaires in Nigeria. And three of them came
back to raise election funds to sponsors him to
increase his investment on them while Nigerians
will continue to live poverty, deprivation and
insecurity, This is a vicious circle that we must
not continue with it . Under his divide and
rule Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has infiltrated my
tribe some ijaw youths to agitate that Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan is all that the Niger Delta can
offer but this youths forgot that this President
has not giving respect to Ijaw Leaders .
To mention but few ,Prof. Tam David West, Alabo
Graham Douglas, Chief Princewell Horsefall , Chief
T.K.O Okorotie, HON FynmanWilson,HRM Joshua
Igbagara. e.t.c.
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan never appoint any of these
Leaders to Federal Appointment nor consult
them regularly for the interest of our tribe and
our Nation, Nigeria , Rather the President
despises them, insult some of them by singularly
paying SOKU Oil
We
that I put in EXCRO account for Rivers and
Bayelsa State while I was Federal
Commissioner Revenue
Mobilisation ,Allocation and Fiscal Commission .
Now Dr. Goodluck Jonathan wants your votes so
that the next four years he will make the
Kalabaris non-oil producing place by forcefully
collecting the remaining oil-wells and allocate
them to Bayelsa and ask you to go to court that
will take fifty years to resolve. The Kalabaris
cannot be intimidated, induced or coerced to vote
for Goodluck Jonathan by himself or his
proxy.”IJAW NATION” . All the ijaws in Bayelsa
State know that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan does not
love us .Throughout his six years administration
he did not appoint any ijaw son as a Minister.
The highest appointee was Late Gen. Andrew
Azazi as National Security Adviser . He was
appointed by Dr.Goodluck Jonathan, sacked by
him and buried by him.
Recently, we heard that Hon. Seriake Dickson was
physically manhandled and beaten by the
President Security detail at the Villa. Presently
Governor Dickson is the Leader of Ijaw
people due to the office he occupies. So can the
Ijaw be so humiliated for their leader beaten up ?
As a serving Governor, can this happen ? The Ijaw
Youth Council (IYC) and Ijaw National Council
(INC) to carry out independent investigation to
unravel the truth.
On Christianity , Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is not a
Christian . I am a close friend of Dr.Goodluck
Jonathan and he confirmed our friendship during
one of his presidential briefing.
Dr.Goodluck Jonathan I know serves voodoo ,
And that is what he practices . In 2006 in the
dining at the Governor’s Lodge Yenegoa, he did
not pray before eating, so I asked him why, he
replied me that he has not prayed in his life . I
was really worried hearing that from him. The
following day we were discussing when
Dr.Goodluck told me he has a weakness and that
he does not know how to forgive.
The country today is blood, blood , blood and
nothing is done. Why? And no solution “ So by
their fruit we shall know them” When the
righteous rule, the people shall rejoice.
Dr.Goodluck should desist from using religion or
the churches to advance his campaign or
adoption, because it will make to expose him
further. We want a country of peace, love and
security.
I wish to also thank the 1st Lady who once saved
my life in 2006 while I was staying in Government
House Bayelsa with you. APC I am joining today
will solve insecurity, corruption, unemployment,
poverty, Power,and run a vibrant economy.
Thank you Gentlemen of the Press
