I received N260 million from Jonathan, not Dasuki - Anenih

Tony Anenih has been linked in the diverted arms fund

Former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Tony Anenih, has denied collecting any money from Dasuki. The PDP chief had been named as one of the beneficiary of the diverted $2.1  billion arms fund.

In a letter written to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Chief Anenih said the N260 million traced to his account by the commission was received from former President Goodluck Jonathan. He added that this was a refund for political expenses on behalf of the former president.

He stated that the President Goodluck Jonathan only asked him to submit an account number for the money to be transferred and therefore was not in a position to know if the money was from the office of the former National Security Adviser.

Anenih added that part of the money he got was given to Chief Olu Falae in order to seal a pact with the Social Democratic Party for the support of the former president’s presidential bid.
