EFCC discovery: Amaechi DID NOT buy Ikoyi apartment for me, says Mo Abudu


Mo Abudu threatens to sue over link to EFCC cash discovery | TheCable.ng
Mo Abudu, CEO of EbonyLife TV, says she does not reside in the building where the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) discovered a large stash of monies.
The anti-graft agency on Wednesday said it uncovered $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m in a fire proof safe at Osborne Towers in Ikoyi, Lagos.
Due to the unknown identity of the owner, several names were bandied around on social media and series of speculations emanated.
One of such speculation came from Lere Olayinka, spokesperson of Ayo Fayose Ekiti state governor.
“Cover up game has started. Rotimi Amaechi owns the house. Mo Abudu lives in Flat 7A, money found in Flat 7B,” Olayinka had tweeted.
Reacting through her lawyers, Streamsowers & Kohn, Abudu says she has never been given an apartment by Rotimi Amaechi, the minister of transportation.
Abudu said the allegations were false and that she has given her lawyers the instruction to take action against its peddlers.
“Our attention has been drawn to certain false statements being peddled by individuals on several social media platforms,” said the statement signed by Etigwa Uwa, SAN, for Streamsowers & Kohn.
“These false statements relate to the recent news story emanating from the EFCC that it discovered some money in a property at 16 Osborne Road Ikoyi and Mo Abudu received the apartment as a gift from Hon Rotimi Amaechi, her alleged “boyfriend”. Mo Abudu unequivocally states that these allegations are completely false, malicious and without any merit.
“Contrary to these false statements, Mo Abudu does not live in Flat 7A or 7B, has never lived in Flat A or 7B and the apartment she lives in was never a gift from any person. Mo Abudu did not receive any apartment as a gift from Hon. Rotimi Amaechi or any other person. Rather, the apartment was purchased by our client in the open market for fair value.
“Please note that the publication of such false statements is actionable and gives rise to claims against any person who publishes these false statements. We have the instruction of our client to trace and proceed against any person who participates in the circulation of these false and malicious statements.”

NEITI: All of Nigeria’s oil savings can’t fund 20% of 2017 budget Nigeria Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (NEITI) says all of the country’s oil savings since the inception of its savings history cannot fund 20% of 2017 budget. In its second occasional paper series unveiled on Tuesday by Waziri Adio, its executive secretary, NEITI, said: “Nigeria has about three decades of experience in implementing different oil revenue funds. However, attempts at oil revenue savings have been plagued by contested legal frameworks, governance issues and inadequate political will. “Nigeria has one of lowest natural resource revenue savings in the world. The balance in the three funds (0.5% stabilization fund, ECA and NSIA) is less than $3.9 billion, not enough to fund 20% of 2017’s federal budget. “Nigeria’s $1.5 billion sovereign wealth fund is one of the lowest in the world, has one of the worst ratio to annual budget (10%), and one of the lowest SWF per capital ($8)...

Continuing, the N-power enrolee also wrote thus on his page, “As a senator for years, this man hasn’t for once sponsored a single bill. Neither has he purchased a single nine inch block in the name of starting a constituency project. “Someone should start the recall process of this man before the real occupant of that seat goes to get his seat! And after the rec...

THE PLACE OF ETCHE NATION/ MARGINALISATION IN RIVERS STATE POLITICS BY OTHER BLOCS.

THE PLACE OF ETCHE NATION/ MARGINALISATION IN RIVERS STATE POLITICS BY OTHER BLOCS. By com. Noble C Nwugha It is over 50 years since the creation of our dear Rivers State. Precisely, the 27th day of May 1967 marked a watershed in the birth of the treasure base of our dear country. And then followed by the creation of the LGAs of Etche and Omuma which left no dent nor severance in the filiation and consangunity of the Etche bloc ( both LGAs) as a nation. Irrefutably, the carving out of Etche LGA from Ikwerre LGA and siting of the headquarters in Okehi, and later Eberi as the headquarters of Omuma just for political and administrative convenience, is what could be described as the only government structure or institution in the whole of Etche ethnic nationality, despite her huge economic and political contributions to the country's treasury vis-a-vis her ever abundant human resources. A nation (Etche) that is undisputedly the third largest ethnic group in Rivers S...
