I WILL OPEN UP ON CHARGED CONTRIBUTION IN ARMS BARGAIN OUTRAGE ONE WEEK FROM NOW - FALAE

The National Chairman of Social Democratic Party, SDP, Chief Olu Falae, yesterday, said he has altered one week from now is enough to address his charged association in the progressing arms bargain embarrassment including the previous National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).

This came as he demanded that the asserted N100 million connecting with the previous NSA was given him by previous Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, saying he had never corresponded with the previous security boss following 1987,when he was Secretary to the Federal Government while the last held influence as the Aide-de-Camp, ADC to then military president, General Ibrahim Babangida.

He said he was embarrassed to be connected with the outrage, including that he had not included himself in any shady arrangement in his life. The previous presidential hopeful of old Alliance for Democracy, AD, said those looking to extort him would for all time close their mouths and have nothing any more to talk about the issue when he introduces his side of the story one week from now.

Traders, merchants and people in the streets welcomed the soldiers and looked forward to a quick improvement in their standard of living. Growing Disappointment Recently, however, there seems to be growing disappointment with both the military Government’s approach and pace. Since coming to power, this Government has not found a sing
