Accord Party has confirmed that its leader, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, received N100m from the former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Tony Anenih during the last General elections.
In a letter addressed to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the National Secretary of Accord, Mr. Nureni Adisa said “Our attention has been drawn to a newspaper report that the sum of N100m was released to the Accord leader, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, by Chief Tony Anenih, the (former) Chairman BoT of the PDP.
“We confirm that the sum of N100m was given to the party through our leader after series of meetings between the leadership of Accord and Chief Tony Anenih in preparation for the 2015 general elections.
“The following issues were discussed at the meetings: the need to support the presidential candidate of the PDP since Accord had no presidential candidate; the need to ensure that peace was maintained to enhance peaceful movement during periods of campaign, elections and after the elections; and the need for the PDP to support Accord campaign effort.
“Accordingly, Chief Anenih released the sum of N100m for these purposes through our leader, Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja.
“The money released was accordingly used for the purposes as stated above.”
The EFCC has alleged that the sum of N260m found in the PDP leader’s account, was from the $2.1bn arms funds.

That Ladoja received any money during the election time for election purposes should in no way be the problem of any persom or group of persoms. The EFCC should look for other people their commander Buhari should tell them to go after. What bafules me is that the so called EFCC has not prosecuted any one they have arrested. The EFCC, should hans their hands off LADOJA.

Last administration was busy writing unprecedented cheque to people they thought that we're important to the society which only represent 0.01% of the country.and left 99.99% to die of hunger, diseases, and grow unprecedented amount of terrorist in this country. We all have to join hand and support this administration for the effort to brought all this people to justice.but lets tell our selves the truth, this war on corruption will be inconclusive without bring the biggest player's to justice, like Oga Jonathan, and all the rest.

Its getting interesting now. Even for the fact that people can quickly response to allegation openly for the masses to know the secret deals of the politician as they are expose. So also that people will not be deceived into killing themselves for pee nut while the politician collected the biggest share of the money and sit in their mansion to enjoy it. imagine people given #2,000 to vote and kill his own brother bcos of election.
