EFCC: Goodluck Jonathan has no hands in the sharing of the $2.1bn Arms deal fund

Updated Tuesday 12 January 2016 9:29

The EFCC has given its reason for not arresting the past President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. It says that the immediate past president gave approval for the fund to be used for arms purchase, and for nothing else. That's why they have been arresting only those who diverted the fund. This was made known by the acting Chairman of EFCC Ibrahim Magu while speaking at a meeting he had with online publishers in Lagos yesterday January 11th.

“All approvals by former president Jonathan did not mention that it was for political purposes" he said.

This revealation comes after the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Abdulahi Jalo, called on former President Goodluck Jonathan to speak out on the current $2.1 billion arms deal scandal. The statement read:

“As all of you know, no single kobo can be spent by the Federal Government without an act of the National Assembly. Money earmarked for arms purchase, some people diverted it to something else.
So many people that you cannot even expect were involved. Now, darkness has come to light. Jonathan is alive, he should clarify whether he asked the National Security Adviser to divert money meant to fight Boko Haram into his campaign. I’m from the North-East and I know the terrible security situation our people are facing there.

The money was meant to fight Boko Haram, and we all know that you can’t rule without peace. Now darkness has given way for the light. It was not only members of the PDP that shared the money; members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Accord Party and the Social Democratic Party, among others, also shared.

At least, Chief Olu Falae is not a member of the PDP. All of them should return the money. Then, (former) President Jonathan must speak on it. He is still alive. Has he ever said anything like this to Dasuki, ‘go and take from the money meant for the war against Boko Haram and share for my campaign’? It is time for him to speak up.”he said
