The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Chief Olu
Falae, has said that the mere fact that his name was mentioned among the
people who allegedly benefitted from the embezzled Arms purchase fund
by former Security Adviser, Lt. Col. Sambo Dasuki is a shame to him.
He made this known while speaking on the scandal during the National Executive Council meeting of SDP in Abuja on Thursday.
Falae who reaffirmed he never collected any money from the embattled
Dasuki stated that the last time he saw him (Dasuki) was in 1987, when
he was Secretary to the Government of the Federation, during the
administration of ex-President.

He said, “For people to even mention my name in connection with
Dasuki, I feel ashamed for Nigerians to even say such a thing. It is
wicked and a sin against God. I am sure they know that what I am saying
is the truth; that there was no connection between SDP or myself with
Dasuki.
“We did not take any money from Dasuki. The money sent to us was by
the PDP based on the exchange of letters between us, which establishes
the contract.
“Some people are still writing spurious nonsense but I intend to
address the press sometimes next week, probably in Lagos, to tell my
story so everybody can hear and the blackmailers can shut up forever.
He added, “I have said so several times and I will say so now that as
a believer in God, I did not collect even one naira from Col. Dasuki.
Not just that, I have had absolutely no feelings whatsoever, with Col.
Dasuki.
“I think the last time I saw Col. Dasuki must have been in 1987 when
he was ADC to General Babangida and I was Secretary to the Federal
Government of the Federation.
“So we worked together, that was on 1987. That is 29 years ago. So,
ladies and gentlemen, please, put your mind at rest. I have nothing to
do with Dasuki. I took no money from Dasuki.
The N100m they are talking about, it was the money sent by the PDP to
your party, SDP, following our endorsement of their presidential
candidate.”
