The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has grilled two former ministers, Mohammed Wakil and Abdu Bulama, over the $115billion public fund allegedly deployed for the 2015 general election by Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Mohammed Wakil, a former minister of power, and Abdu Bulama, the ex-minister of science and technology, were interrogated on Monday, June 6.
According to a source at the commission, Bulama confessed that he had received N450m from Nenadi Usman, a former minister of finance.
“Former minister of finance Nenadi Usman called and informed me to go and collect money in Fidelity Bank. A five-man committee was set up to coordinate the campaign activities in Yobe state and we received N450m.
“The money was disbursed based on a template we received from Abuja and we shared it among the three senatorial zones in the state,” he said.
Meanwhile, Muhammed Kadai revealed details of how the money was shared.
“The money was shared according to zones. For Zone A, Abba –Gana Tata collected the sum of over N85, 100,000.00, while Dr Mamu collected N73, 510.000.00 on behalf of Mohammed Hassan Dambu and zone C received N70, 470.000.00, through Alhaji Hassan Ibn Jaks for Dr Yarima Ngama,” he said.
