Sahara Group who were allegedly involved in donations to the
APC campaigns funding by the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayo Fayose today
released a statement denying its involvement.Sahara-Group
The statement reads:
Our attention has been drawn to online media reports sourced
from a Press Statement credited to the Ekiti State Governor, His Excellency,
Mr. Ayodele Fayose. We are particularly disturbed by a portion of the statement
that made a misleading and incorrect link between Sahara Energy and election
donations: “Most importantly, Nigerians are interested in the $60 million allegedly
donated to the APC campaign by Sahara Energy, on which EFCC has been forced to
suspend investigation.”
In fact, Sahara is guided by a robust and well-documented
donations policy that clearly states that: “THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE POLITICAL
DONATIONS; NEITHER DOES IT SPONSOR POLITICAL EVENTS ON BEHALF OF ANY POLITICAL
ASSOCIATION.”
We are, for the benefit of our stakeholders and partners
across the globe, duty-bound to set the record straight in the light of recent
comments in the public space that falsely link Sahara with political donations.
