The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus, has challenged the Minister of Culture and Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, to be ready to prove his allegation that the he collected N200 million from the purse of the former National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki.
Secondus gave the threat in a statement issued by his spokesman, Ike Abonyi, on Friday in Abuja.
He said his attention was drawn to a press conference addressed by Mohammed on March 30 in Lagos, claiming that he (Secondus) collected N200 million from the office of the former NSA.
The PDP leader is challenging Mohammed to be ready to establish his allegations in court immediately.
Secondus said the agenda of the minister was to damage his reputation and distract him from serving PDP, adding that such agenda would fail woefully.
The statement said: “For the purposes of some gullible public, Prince Secondus never collected any money from the NSA under any guise.”
Also listed at the news conference by Mohammed were former PDP Financial Secretary who allegedly collected N600 million from the same source on the October 24, 2014.
Mohammed said: “Then National Publicity Secretary Olisah Metuh, who is on trial for collecting N1.4 billion from the office of then NSA.
“Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, Chairman of DAAR Communications, on trial for taking N2.1 billion from the office of then NSA.
“Former SSA to President Jonathan, Dudafa Waripamo-Owei, on trial over N830 million kept in accounts of four different companies.
“Former President Jonathan’s Cousin Robert Azibaol, – on Thursday, a Federal High Court ruled that he has a case to answer for collecting $40 million from the office of then NSA.”
Also, the PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary described the teasing list released by the Federal Government as hollow and laughable.
