Code of Conduct Bureau in cover up drama
On September 6, 2005 one Chief E.N Achom submitted a petition to the Code of Conduct Bureau alleging that Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Ararume was operating two foreign accounts contrary to the provisions of the Code of Conduct Act. The Accounts are maintained in:First National Bank at 9313 Bellaire Blvd Houston,Texas 77036 and Barclays Bank Plc. Brent St. Branch in London NW4, United Kingdom.
The accounts were swelled by monies diverted by Senator Ifeanyi Ararume from the proceeds of “third term” campaign funds,a reason adduced to by sources who knew the internal workings of the campaign,adduced for the bitter separation between Obasanjo and Ararume. A source told our reporter that “in fact Obasanjo was so upset with Ararume’s greed in stealing “third term” campaign funds that he vowed to bring down at all cost”.
The former governor of Jigawa State, Saminu Turaki in an elaborate confession last week told sources that he delivered trances of cash for the “third term” campaign through Andy Uba, Florence Ita-Giwa and Senator Ifeanyi Ararume.
However, the CCB having investigated and confirmed that the said accounts are operated by the Senator contrary to the provisions of the Constitution and Code of Conduct Act but yet have refused to refer the matter to the Code of Conduct Tribunal as stipulated by the law.
