Our brother Jim Nwobodo agrees he collected 100million on behalf of Ndi Enugu

Their mouth is beginning to run like lose veejay! A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Jim Nwobodo, has denied receiving N100million from a former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda. He, however said, he collected the sum from PDP’s National Chairman, Dr. Adamu Mu’azu.

A statement issued by Nwobodo’s spokesman, John Okoreni, said Nwobodo was the Chairman of the Contact Committee of the PDP Presidential Campaign for the Southeast, overseeing Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States. He said the N100million received from Mu’azu was for logistics, traveling and mobilization of party members in the zone for the presidential election.

According to him, the fund was properly disbursed to the states and dully signed by members of the committee for each state and accounted for to the party. The statement added, “It would be unusual for Senator Nwobodo and other members of his committee to query the source of campaign fund coming from the National Chairman of his party for official functions and purposes.”
