The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has called on Chief Jim Nwobodo, a former governor of the old Anambra state, to explain how he shared the N500m allegedly received from Sambo Dasuki, the former national security adviser.

The OYC called on the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission to arrest Jim Nwobodo.
The Punch reports that the group also issued
Nwobodo a 21-day ultimatum to disclose
beneficiaries; otherwise, it would take
appropriate action to ensure that the full
weight of the law descended on him.
In a statement made by its national president,
Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and the national
secretary, Okwu Nnabuike, on Tuesday, January
12, the OYC called on the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission to arrest the
elder statesman.
It also noted that some chieftains of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who were said
to have received funds from Dasuki, had
already disclosed how their sums were
disbursed.
“We charge Nwobodo to let Nigerians know
how he disbursed the N500 million which he
received from Sambo Dasuki. He should take
clue from Dasuki as well as Chief Tony Anenih,
who have since disclosed how they shared
money made available to them.”
“Since Nwobodo said the money was meant
for former president Goodluck Jonathan’s
mobilization campaign in the South-East, he
should let the world know how he disbursed
the money and all the South-East leaders and
politicians who received money from him and
how much he gave to each of them. If he
pocketed the money, he should also let the
world know,” the statement read in part.
According to the group, Nwobodo’s defection
from the PDP to the All Progressive Congress
(APC) is an attempt to avoid prosecution for
his alleged role in the arms deal scandal.
However, the OYC stressed that the defection
would not shield him or other politicians from
the law.
“We are aware that Nwobodo has decamped
to APC, and we agree with Nigerians, even
members of the APC, who have viewed his
defection as a ploy to evade justice.
“We also wish to remind him that President
Muhammdu Buhari jailed him as a military
head of state and so history is about to be
made as the same President may jail him
again – this time, he may bag a bigger
sentence.
“The EFCC should not hesitate to arrest all the
people, who had looted our commonwealth.
All we ask is that the commission should be
thorough in its arrest and prosecution. No
looter should go unpunished,” the group said.
Meanwhile, the South-East APC is not pleased
with Nwobodo’s entry into the
party. According to the party, the ex-governor
entered the APC through the window as a
fugitive running from justice.
