As the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan gradually winds down, some of those opportunists of the administration, who had enriched their pockets and enjoyed flamboyant and extravagant lives during their stay in Abuja are the likes of the former Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye, and the current Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim. These two people will definitely miss Abuja as they have been identified as people whose influences and power have earned the privileges of partying and womanizing in the Federal Capital Territtory.
According to the information revealed to us, the duo are so much hypnotized with power and wealth stolen from the public funds that womanizing has become inevitable to them. Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye, a former member of the House of Representatives who was until his dismissal a Director General of NSC, is addicted to women just like Anyim Pius Anyim. It would be recalled that Elegbeleye had been sacked April this year by the President, while Alhassan Yakmut, a Director in the Commission was directed to assume office as the Acting Director General of the Commission. It was gathered his appointment was terminated due to the reckless ways he was looting the treasury of the commission. It would be recalled that the House Committee on Public Account had in 2013 summoned the former Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Gbenga Elegbeleye, to defend the N3 billion spent by the commission over the last three years.
In the same vein, it was reliably disclosed that Pius Anyim was actually using his influence as SGF to shield Elegbeleye because he (Pius Anyim) also got his own share of the looted treasury of the commission. Our reliable source, who has revealed this information on the condition of anonymity, noted that both Elegbeleye and Pius Anyim have permanent suites at Hilton Hotel located in Abuja. Indeed, the information has it that another of those hotels in Abuja where these two personalities often patronize is Le Meridien Hotel.
Pius Anyim has been one of the beneficiaries of PDP led government since 1999. He was elected as the Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party in 1999 representing Ebonyi South constituency of Ebonyi State. In 2000, he was appointed the Senate President after Chuba Okadigbo had been impeached. Since then, he has remained relevant in governance. This has probably made him a power-drunken man, who derives so much pleasure spending money extravagantly and running after anything in skirt. On the same note, Gbenga Elegbeleye has also tasted power, at such it would be an unpleasant feeling for him moving afar from governance.
