The special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,Dr Reuben Abati has denied reports that a presidential jet was used to bring Asari Dokubo to Abuja after he was released by Benin Republic police.

In an interview in Abuja yesterday, Dr Abati said “There is
no truth in the report that a presidential jet was used to
convey Asari Dokubo. Again, what we see here is the
attempt by people to just tell lies and try to package lies as the truth.

“I have read some reports in which they said “unconfirmed reports indicate..” Nobody has been able to say anything categorically and I think it is very sad that people, in an attempt to just play politics with anything at all, will start packaging lies hoping that gullible persons will believe them.

“An aircraft is not a ghost in the air. The movement of any aircraft is properly documented and people will see the aircraft if it lands anywhere, particularly the presidential aircraft.

“Nobody can come up with any evidence that any
presidential jet was sent to Benin Republic. I can tell you
that President Jonathan did not send any presidential jet to Benin Republic.

“Or has Asari Dokubo told anybody that he was brought to Nigeria in a presidential jet? So what is this all about?
Blackmail and mischief obviously” he said.

Chiefpriest1: I would have believed this man before now,but Abati has lost so much credibility that even he(Abati) doesn't believe things he says. I 'll wait for a more credible source although anything is possible in Goodluck Jonathans's government
