The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, funded the re-election campaign of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan with the funds he allegedly received from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), prosecution witnesses said on Thursday.
The Managing Director of a Lagos-based public relations firm – CMC Connect – Yomi Badejo-Okusanya and a Bureau de Change operator, Kabiru Ibrahim, testified at the resumed hearing in Metuh’s trial at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Badejo-Okusanya, who testified as the 5th prosecution witness, explained how he was recruited by the PDP spokesman to develop and execute campaigns for Jonathan.
Metuh is being tried for allegedly using the N400million he received from ONSA in November 2014, to fund the party’s 2015 presidential campaign.
Badejo-Okusanya told the court that his firm was engaged to provide media campaign and “image management” job for the PDP and Jonathan.
The witness said he was paid N77.5mIllion through Destra Investments Limited in December 2014, adding that he started executing the contract towards the end of that month.
The witness said he was paid before he attended a meeting with Jonathan, ex- vice president Namadi Sambo, former Senate President, David Mark and several other top officials of the last administration, in Abuja.
