Flamboyant Publisher Nduka Obaigbena Bounces Back Big Time, Now A Major Force In Corridors Of Power

Thisday Publisher, Nduka Obaigbena is back.

Sources disclosed just like during the reign of past governments, the man behind the success story of one of the most popular news brand in the country has become a force to be reckoned with in the corridors of power.

He is said to have leveraged on the influence of the office of Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to the President Muhammadu Buhari to achieve his new status.

Obaigbena was recently the subject of investigation by anti graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The investigation resulted in a near arrest and tension soaked situation resolved with seizure of his travel passport and agreement to refund about N600million.

The flamboyant publisher’s passport was returned after the repayment of the fund linked to diverted monies by the office of the National Security Adviser in the regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Occupier of the office and man who effected payment of the controversial fund Sambo Dasuki is in detain for disbursements of questionable funds.

Obaigbena was a very strong influence in the immediate past government – and administrations before it.
He appeared to have lost his ‘’mojo’’ with advent of the new government thundering anti corruption as it’s main thrust.

But those who should know disclosed The Duke as fondly called has rediscovered his form.

‘’He is back as the darling of the powers that be’’ a source stated.

Whispers have it a ‘’reconciliation’’ and ‘’compensation’’ of sort for the EFCC episode have been ‘’perfected’’.
‘’He is now good buddies with the Aso Rock people and most of the President’s men thanks to Abba Kyari’’ a source stated.
