Hmmmmm Nigeria and politics. Really….. The details of stolen funds is not discussed here but rather how he lost governorship to someone else and defected party. Haba Nigeria may God have mercy on you oh, only God knows who is behind this.
So you missed the part that clearly stated: “More details to follow….”?
Meanwhile, in a nation where it costs N100m just to pick up forms to contest for political office, the connection between political candidacy and official corruption is pertinent!
