No document has not been trace to GEJ on arms deal fund.

The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC explained, yesterday, why
it has not arrested former President
Goodluck Jonathan following startling
revelations on how the former National
Security Adviser, NSA, Col Sambo Dasuki
(retd) allegedly disbursed over
$2.1 billion
meant for arms purchase to various
individuals.
Alarmed by the revelations, the National
leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has, however, asked Dr Jonathan to
speak out.
This came as the anti-graft commission
disclosed that one of the beneficiaries, the
former Military Administrator of Kaduna
State, Mr. Jafaru Isah had returned N100m
out of the N170m he collected and was given
administrative bail to source for the balance
of N70m.
Another beneficiary, the former Secretary to
the Government of the Federation and leader
of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Chief
Olu Falae however insisted that he would
not refund the N100 million he collected from
Chief Tony Anenih, which was said to have
come from Dasuki.
Facts have also emerged how former
Chairman of Board of Trustees, BoT of the
PDP, Chief Tony Anenih and Chief Olu Falae
entered into a working relationship prior to
the 2015 presidential election.
Explaining why the former president has not
been arrested while speaking with online
news publishers yesterday, in Lagos, the
EFCC boss, Mr Ibrahim Magu said that no
document has been traced to Jonathan
giving any approval for the disbursement of
the money for any purpose other than arms
purchase.
He said that all those questioned so far in
connection with the money were people who
disbursed or collected it for reasons other
than the purchase of arms and ammunition.
“All approvals by former president Jonathan
did not mention that it was for political
purposes.
All the memos approved by him were for the
purchase of arms,” he said.
Speaking about Olisa Metuh, the EFCC boss
revealed that the national publicity secretary
of the Peoples Democratic Party said he
would rather go on hunger strike than refund
the N400 million he allegedly collected from
Dasuki.
Maga also said that Patrick Akpobolokemi, a
former boss of Nigerian Maritime
Administration and Safety Agency, was
recently re-arrested after new evidences of
alleged embezzlement of N34.5 billion and
another N600 million were linked to him.
The EFCC chairman stressed that the war
against graft was not selective and assured
Nigerians that his agency was not teleguided
in the ongoing anti-corruption fight.
According to PDP, since former President
Jonathan was still alive, he should come out
and explain to Nigerians whether he
authorized his former National Security
Adviser to distribute money meant to fight
Boko Haram into his campaign.
Addressing Journalists yesterday in Abuja,
PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary
Abdullahi Jalo said, Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan is alive, he should clarify whether
he asked the National Security Adviser to
distribute money meant to fight Boko Haram
into his campaign.
According to Jalo, “Jonathan is alive, he
should clarify whether he asked the National
Security Adviser to distribute money meant
to fight Boko Haram into his campaign. What
is important for one to know is that former
President Goodluck Jonathan is alive. Has he
ever said go and take the money for arms
meant for Boko Haram to campaign for me?
Is there anytime that Jonathan asked for
anything from either Dasuki to go and
distribute this money meant for fighting Boko
Haram for his campaign?
“As you all know, no single kobo will be
spent by the federal government or former
President Goodluck Jonathan without the Act
of the National Assembly. Some people
however decided to divert this money to
something else.
“Darkness has now come to light, we have
now discovered that it is not only PDP
members who collected the money but those
in APGA collected, Falae collected, Tanko
Yakasai collected. They all collected the
money under the guise that they are
campaigning for Goodluck Jonathan.
