Jonathan Not A Christian,Looted 32bn From Bayelsa-Ex-aide

Frank Akpoebi, a close political associate of President
Goodluck Jonathan, declared on Sunday that a whopping
N32 billion was missing from the treasury of Bayelsa
State Government when Jonathan was governor between
2005 and 2007.
He made the stunning revelation on Sunday at a press
conference held at the National Headquarters of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja where he gave
reasons for his defection and of hundreds of others from
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to APC.
Akpoebi served as Commissioner of Health in Mr.
Jonathan’s administration during his governorship. A
founding member of the PDP in Bayelsa, he was also a
Federal Commissioner in the Revenue Mobilization,
Allocation and Fiscal Commission.
Of the missing N32 billion, he called on Bayelsans to ask
Mr. Jonathan to refund the money before he can ask for
their votes again, adding that there had been speculation
that he used the money to sponsor himself and late
Umaru Yar’Adua in the 2011 election.
“I served in the State Executive Council with Dr, Goodluck
Jonathan and I questioned one of his series of contracts
he used in siphoning the Bayelsa State treasury was his
singular approval of Two Billion Naira for sand stock
piling at Yenogoa for Bayelsa indigenes to park and use
to start a building project I stood up to oppose it but yet
Two Billion Naira was paid but a drop of sand was not
dropped.”
He described President Jonathan as incompetent, and as
the architect of religion and ethnic politics that have
divided many Nigerians.
“This President is the richest President in Africa,” Akpoebi
declared. “Dr. Goodluck Jonathann has invested in five
business men who are highly celebrated Billionaires in
Nigeria. And three of them came back to raise election
funds to sponsor him to increase his investment on them
while Nigerians will continue to live poverty, deprivation
and insecurity. This is a vicious circle that we must not
continue with it.”
The Conference was attended Timipreye Silva, another
former governor of Bayelsa, Hilland Etah, the National
Vice Chairman APC South-South, and other  political
stalwart in the State.  He mentioned many other national
issues.  He defected to the APC alongside hundreds of
PDP Chieftains from Bayelsa State.
It would be recalled that in 2006, before President
Obasanjo arbitrarily picked him for the vice-presidency,
Mr. Jonathan was one of 15 governors indicted by a
federal panel for false declaration of assets, and
recommended for prosecution in line with the Code of
Conduct Bureau Act.
The powerful inter-agency Joint Task Force on corruption
was headed by the then chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Nuhu Ribadu. Its
indictment of Mr. Jonathan was on account of several
issues, including Mr. Jonathan’s N18 million Lexus Jeep
which he falsely claimed in 2004 he had acquired through
savings.
“Verification reveals that the Jeep was a gift collected in
contravention of the Code of Conduct Bureau Act of
1990,” the panel said.  “Same for BMW 7351 Series
bought in 2005 worth N5.5 million.”
The panel also listed Mr. Jonathan’s acquisition of
properties outside legitimate income, including:
Seven Bedroom Duplex acquired in 2001 worth N18
million at Otuke Ogbia LGA;
Four Bedroom Duplex acquired in 2003 worth N15 million
at Goodluck Jonathan Street, Yenegoa; and
Five Bedroom Duplex - acquired in 2003 worth N25
million at Citec Villas, Gwarimpa II, Abuja.
Akpoedi also refuted Mr. Jonathan’s claims to being a
Christian, saying that as a close friend of the President as
admitted by Mr. Jonathan during one of his presidential
briefings, he knows for certain Jonathan is no Christian,
and that he has admitted he does not know how to
forgive.
“Dr. Goodluck Jonathan I know serves voodoo. And that
is what he practices. In 2006 in the dining at the
Governor’s Lodge Yenegoa, he did not pray before eating,
so I asked him why, he replied me that he has not prayed
in his life. I was really worried hearing that from him. The
following day we were discussing when Dr.Goodluck  told
me he has a weakness and that he does not know how to
forgive.
“Dr. Goodluck should desist from using religion or the
churches to advance his campaign or adoption, because
it will make to expose him further,” Akpedi said.  “We
want a country of peace, love and security.”
Here is the full text of his speech at the Conference:
As a founding member of PDP Bayelsa State and funded
60% of the party at its formation between 1988-early 1999. I
am well known and respected by politicians within the state
and beyond.
The PDP under Dr.Goodluck Jonathan has totally lost Good
governance. There are six things he failed in his
administration that bothers on my personal integrity, ideology
and the interest of our great country-Nigeria.
1         Insecurity
2         Corruption
3         Unemployment
4         Poverty
5         Power (Electricity)
6         Economy (Naira
Devaluation)
Above all Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has brought politics of
religion, Tribe, North/South dichotomy and hate . Infact,
Dr.   Goodluck started exhibiting all these vices when he was
Governor of Bayelsa State. As a Deputy Governor,he has
some obstacles so when he became Governor, it was a
payback  time . He started punishing the ijaws that brought
him to power in the state. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan started
playing politics of divide and rule.
He also made sure no project goes to any ijaw village and
any Ijaw person is empowered in Bayelsa .This he has
continued till date . I served in the State Executive Council
with Dr, Goodluck Jonathan and I questioned one of his
series of contracts he used in siphoning the Bayelsa State
treasury was his singular approval of Two Billion Naira
(2,000,000,000.00) for sand stock piling at Yenogoa for
Bayelsa indigenes to park and use to start a building project I
stood up to oppose it but yet Two Billion Naira was paid but
a drop of sand was not dropped.
During Dr. Goodluck’s administration Thirty Billion Naira was
missing in Bayelsa State Treasury. Bayelsans should ask him
to refund this missing money before he should ask them of
their votes.  There was speculation that he used the money to
sponsor himself and Late Yar’adua in 2011 election. So I
called on you Dr.Goodluck Jonathan to return this Thirty
Billion and two Two Billion to Bayelsa State before asking for
their votes or best explain the whereabouts of these monies.
Much do I know ,that Dr. Goodluck is not a good manager of
resources since he is embedded in corruption from when he
was the Governor of Bayelsa State. Today our foreign reserve
is depleted.  Our  Naira is devalued. Poverty and
unemployment is a National Pride .  Insecurity and Nigerian
Children, mothers and fathers dying in the North-East and yet
he wants the votes of North- East . Is this not insensibility
and insult to the people of this zone and by extension and
insult to our collective psychic as a nation?  And yet he
sponsors some persons in the Niger Delta Project only and no
other part of this country has a right to become President
until he finish to divide us, impoverish, oppress, squander our
economy and plant corruption as a subject in our schools
and we were corruption as toga around the world.
This President is the richest President in the Africa. Dr.
Goodluck Jonatahn has invested in five business men who
are highly celebrated Billionaires in Nigeria. And three of
them came back to raise election funds to sponsors    him to
increase his investment on them while Nigerians
will  continue to live poverty, deprivation and insecurity, This
is a vicious circle that we must not continue with it . Under
his divide and rule  Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has infiltrated  my
tribe some ijaw youths to agitate that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan
is all that the Niger Delta can offer but this youths forgot that
this President has not giving respect to Ijaw Leaders .
To mention but few ,Prof. Tam David West, Alabo Graham
Douglas, Chief Princewell Horsefall , Chief T.K.O Okorotie,
HON FynmanWilson,HRM Joshua Igbagara. e.t.c.
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan never appoint any of these Leaders to
Federal Appointment nor consult them  regularly for the
interest of our tribe and our Nation, Nigeria , Rather the
President despises them, insult some of them by singularly
paying SOKU Oil
We                                                                                                       l
that I put in EXCRO account for Rivers and Bayelsa State
while I was Federal Commissioner       Revenue
Mobilisation ,Allocation and Fiscal Commission . Now Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan wants your votes so that the next four
years he will make the Kalabaris non-oil producing   place by
forcefully collecting the remaining oil-wells and allocate them
to Bayelsa and ask you to go to court that will take fifty years
to resolve. The Kalabaris cannot be intimidated, induced or
coerced to vote for Goodluck Jonathan by himself or his
proxy.”IJAW NATION”   . All the ijaws in Bayelsa State know
that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan does not love us .Throughout his
six years administration he did not appoint any ijaw son as a
Minister. The highest   appointee was Late Gen. Andrew
Azazi as National Security Adviser . He was appointed by
Dr.Goodluck Jonathan, sacked by him and buried by him.
Recently, we heard that Hon. Seriake Dickson was physically
manhandled and beaten by the President Security detail at
the Villa. Presently Governor Dickson is the Leader of Ijaw
people  due to the office he occupies. So can the Ijaw be so
humiliated for their leader beaten up ? As a serving Governor,
can this happen ? The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) and Ijaw
National Council (INC) to carry out independent investigation
to unravel the truth.
On Christianity , Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is not a Christian . I
am a close friend of Dr.Goodluck Jonathan and he confirmed
our friendship during one of his presidential briefing.
Dr.Goodluck Jonathan I know serves voodoo , And that is
what he practices . In 2006 in the dining at the Governor’s
Lodge Yenegoa, he did not pray before eating, so I asked him
why, he replied me that he has not prayed in his life . I was
really worried hearing that from him. The following day we
were discussing when Dr.Goodluck  told me he has a
weakness and that he does not know how to forgive.
The country today is blood, blood , blood and nothing is
done. Why? And no solution “ So by their fruit we shall know
them”  When the righteous rule, the people  shall rejoice.
Dr.Goodluck should desist from using religion or the churches
to advance his campaign or adoption, because it will make to
expose him further. We want a country of peace, love and
security.
I wish to also thank the 1st Lady who once saved my life in
2006 while I was staying in Government House Bayelsa
with  you. APC I am joining today will solve insecurity,
corruption, unemployment, poverty, Power,and run a vibrant
economy.
Thank you Gentlemen of the Press

Health Bayelsa State and Former  Federal Commission
