Fayose Too Stingy—Ifeanyi Ubah

Nigerian oil and gas mogul, Ifeanyi Ubah, has played down claims that he was involved in the alleged rigging of the 2014 Ekiti gubernatorial election.

Ubah, who controls the affairs at Capital Oil and Gas, while speaking on a Channels TV programme, Politics Today, claimed if consulted by the Federal Government, he will work out how to make one Dollar exchange for N200 as against the present value of over N390 to $1.

“Look at the economy, look at the position of the naira today; some of us have ideas on how we can restore this,” he said.

Speaking further, he asked, “Do you know how many Burea De Change people who food has been taken out of their families because of this? If you say they are the ones causing it, then where are you today?”

“It needs strategic management. It won’t take me one month, if you give me part of that consultancy, naira would come back to 200.

“I can bet my life with it, naira would come back to N200. If you call me for that consultancy, I would put naira back to 200,” Ubah boasted.

On the Ekiti poll, he emphasised that, “Ayo (Fayose) is a stingy governor, he is not helping people that helped him, but the issue is this, I did not, if I have done, I would say I did it. Even those ruling us today, didn’t people give them money?”

The successful businessman maintained that he does “not know (Sambo) Dasuki.”

“TAN (Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria) never received money from Dasuki or the People’s Democratic Party. We did what we did in the interest of the nation and for posterity. I’m a politician with a mindset of making life worth living for the people when issues seem to be getting out of hand. So TAN has no hand in whatever that has to do with the arms deal fund,” he said.
