$115m lodgement: EFCC moves against more PDP beneficiaries

There are strong indications that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may go after more stalwarts of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) across the states, who were alleged to have benefited from the $115 million said to have been lodged in Fidelity Bank Plc., by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.

New Telegraph gathered from highly placed sources that operatives of the anti-graft agency will, in the coming days, invite more beneficiaries of the $115 million funds. The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said:
“You are aware that the commission has invited representatives of some states, who benefited from the sharing of the money ($115m) lodged by Diezani in Fidelity Bank Plc. “Well, I can assure you that in the coming days and weeks, more politicians of the then party in government, who benefited in the sharing, will be asked to come and answer questions,” he said. Asked to comment on the allegation in some quarters, that the ongoing corruption war is largely selective, the source said:
