Jonathan,gusau, Alison In N2.4billion Scandal Over ‘house Boats’ Rentin by catchfun: 8:00pm On Sep 03, 2015
Former President Goodluck Jonathan, his then defence minister, Aliyu Gusau, former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke and the immediate past Chief of Naval Staff, Usman Jubrin, an admiral, may soon have to answer questions on an alleged N2.4billion house boats rent scandal for the Nigerian Navy.
An ongoing investigation into the conducts of officials of the immediate past administration indicate that Mr. Jonathan instructed Mrs. Alison-Maduekwe to release funds from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to the defence chiefs to rent 13 House Boats to fight oil theft in the Niger Delta.
The boats were hired for N2.4 billion, an amount experts believe is more than enough for the country to buy the boats outright.
Authoritative security sources investigating alleged financial misdeeds of the Jonathan administration said their market surveys showed the boats rented for that princely sum could have been acquired for keeps at N100million each, bringing the total cost to N1.3billion.
Our sources said the decision to rent the boats was taken by the former defence minister, Mr. Gusau, and some of the recently retired service chiefs without seeking the advice of military officers familiar with such procurement, including those on the ground in the Niger Delta area, who were of the opinion that the cost of renting the boats was too high.
The funds to purportedly rent the boat was released at about the same time the federal government controversially postponed the presidential election from February 14 to March 28.
Although the request for the project was made in 2014, there was a sudden rush to make payment in mid-February this year.
It is not however clear whether a part of the money was used for electioneering-related expenses at a time “political cash” was ferried around the country by some contestants.
To kick off the transaction, Mr. Gusau initiated a memo to Mr. Jonathan on October 16 last year. Mr. Jonathan forwarded same to the former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
In the memo, the former defence minister argued that the deployment of the house boats, under Operation Pulo Shield of the Joint Task Force in the Niger Delta, had been helpful in curbing oil theft and other criminal activities.
But investigators are contesting that claim, saying there was no significant drop in cases of oil theft during the period.
In fact, a top security source said “the claim that the use of the house boats checkmated oil theft is just a lie because this was the same period that oil theft increased”.

what APC media handler are doing would back fire if they do not retrace their steps! they just want to bamboozle us inot believing that Alison stole money, why not take them to court?

They first claimed that she built a house in Austria since 2011, the country came out and denied any such building.

later they came up with "she bought private jet with 10billion" where is the jet? who buys private jet with 10billion naira? only in nigeria..
they came out and claimed that she stole 6billion dollars (oshobaby) America came out and dendied and cautioned them..

Now 2.4billions!! don't be surprise after all these noises APC will come out with nothing!!

Imagine APC probing Okonjo iwela! that must be suicidal!! she knows nigeria very well, and she is ready for all these gangsters called APC....
