Federal government releases list of PDP looters

The federal government has responded to the challenge of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which dared it to name its members who are “looters”.

At a press conference in Lagos on Friday, Information Minister Alhaji Lai Mohammed released a list of six PDP ‘looters’


The list is as follows:

1. PDP Chairman, Uche Secondus – On the 19th of February 2015, he took N200 million only from the office of then NSA.

2. Then PDP FInancial Secretary – On the 24th of Oct 2014, he took N600 million only from the office of then NSA.

3. Then National Publicity Secretary, Olisah Metuh – On trial for collecting N1.4b from the office of then NSA.

4. Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, Chairman of DAAR Communications – On trial for taking N2.1 billion from the office of then NSA.

5. Former SSA to President Jonathan, Dudafa Waripamo-Owei – On trial over N830 million kept in accounts of four different companies.

6.  Former President Jonathan’s Cousin Robert Azibaola – On Thursday, a Federal High Court ruled that he has a case to answer for collecting $40 million from the office of then NSA.


The minister said the list is just a tip of the iceberg, stating that ” the PDP is aware of this. We did not make these cases up. Many of these cases are in court and the records are available.”

“Some of the people on this list are seeking to plea bargain, and that is a fact. Well, I am sure they know that the treasury was looted dry under their watch.

Yet they decided to grandstand. This shows the hollowness of their apology to Nigerians.
