Power behind Sahara group, Tope Sonubi is embroiled in an intense – and panicky move at present.
Information filtering out to socieynowng.com revealed that the oil baron disclosed as the engine room of the partnership behind the mega business venture with tentacles outside the shores of Nigeria is making intense efforts to secure a peace pact with incoming All Progressives Congress federal government with Muhmmadu Buhari as President.
Sonubi’s attempts has roots in the fact that his Sahara Energy group is a major

beneficiary of government patronage, particularly oil deals under the outgoing regime President Jonathan Goodluck.
The manner of lucrative businesses undertaken embraced different shades of colours and in some cases adorned such shady colourations that accusations of fraud suffices.
A window into such dealings is presented with this sourced report in part ‘ a news report titled Swiss Traders’ Opaque Deals in Nigeria released by Swiss non-governmental advocacy organisation, the Berne Declaration, has detailed how Sahara Energy was involved in the plundering and subverting of revenues from Nigeria’s crude oil.
Sahara Energy, which Switzerland subsidiary is at 7, Quai du Mont-Blanc, Geneva, has been requested by the Nigerian authorities to refund N6.034 billion ($37.55 million) of subsidies unless a ‘credible explanation’ can be provided on the subject of these transactions.
‘The report also states that Sahara Energy is entirely unable to justify a bank statement showing another $33.7 million while it is among the companies that have not imported the quantities that they should have continuing their importing activities with flagrant impunity.
Interestingly, Sahara management came out to debunk the acerbic reports and dissociate itself from the said reports.’
Findings by societynowng.com revealed that while enjoying great rapport with the outgoing government, Tope Sonubi and his partners, Tonye Cole and Ade Odunsi were able to thrust all allegations away.
But with the coming of a new government, those who care about how Sahara group carries out its business within and outside Nigeria have started dusting up the allegations books.
‘they want the new government to take a clinical look at the allegations and accusations and correct anomaly that goes against correct business practise as part of efforts to sanitise the industry they operate in’ a source claimed.
Further digs revealed faced with the consequence of this possible action, Sonubi and his partners have initiated an intense and panicky underground move to broker a peace accord with promoters of the incoming government to protect their mega deals.
‘they risk their fortune if those accusations cum allegations are looked into and they are found wanting’ another source divulged alarming consequence of a possible probe.
APC chieftain Rotimi Amaechi and OANDO boss, Wale Tinubu are said to be two of the conduits being lobbied to achieve the peace accord objective.
