The Social Democratic Party (SDP) Ondo State Chapter on Tuesday, described the latest publication alleging that its National Chairman, Chief Olu Falae, benefited from another N100m transferred into his company’s account, as falsehood and a further attempt to smear the name of the elder statesman.
This was contained in statement issued and signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Remi Olayiwola, in Akure.
The party spokesman reiterated that the only money received by the party and its Chairman was transferred by the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) through its former Chairman, Board of Trustee, Chief Tony Anenih.
Olayiwola stated that Chief Anenih had long confirmed that the transaction was based on a written inter- party agreement, which existed between the two parties before the last presidential election.
He described the latest publication as a calculated attempt aimed to further embarrass Falae and the SDP saying “it has failed in the past and it will fail again no matter how many times our detractors attempt to smear our name for obvious political reasons.”
Olayiwola said “The EFCC at one point point said that the N100m was from Dasuki, a lie which has now been effectively debunked. Now they are claiming that the money was from a company known as Joint Trust Dimension Nigeria Limited, an entity totally unknown to Chief Falae and SDP.
“We wish to inform the general public that it is the same amount sent by the PDP to the SDP as a result of their inter- party agreement that is now being re-presented to the public through another dubious channel in order to portray Chief Falae and SDP in bad light.
“We wish to state with all emphasis at out command that Chief Olu Falae and SDP never had any business, dealing or any transaction whatsoever with either the Central Bank of Nigeria or the Joint Trust Dimension Limited mentioned in the report.
“With the foregoing, we wish to advice those concerned to desist henceforth from this campaign of calumny, character assassination and trial of the innocent on the pages of newspaper.”
