Mr. Olusegun Idowu, the Managing Director of Paste Poster Company Limited, says his company is still being owed N24m for the printing of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign posters for the 2015 presidential election.
According to Punch Metro, the N24m, Idowu said, was part of a total of N54m poster pasting and consultancy jobs that his company did for the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation in the build-up to the last general elections.
Idowu said his company was paid N30m cash in tranches of N6m and N24m for consultancy and printing of the ex-President’s campaign posters, while another N24m remained unpaid till date.
The media consultant stated this on Wednesday when he appeared before the Federal High Court in Lagos, where the then Director of Media and Publicity of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, is being prosecuted for an alleged fraud of N4.9bn.
Standing trial along with Fani-Kayode for the alleged fraud relating to Jonathan’s campaign, is a former Minister of State for Finance, Nenadi Usman.
The third and fourth defendants in the case are one Danjuma Yusuf and a company, Joint Trust Dimensions Limited.
The defendants were arraigned before Justice Rilwan Aikawa on 17 counts bordering on conspiracy, unlawful retention of proceeds of theft and money laundering.
They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
