Immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday, said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo lied over claims that his administration embezzled some funds a few weeks to the 2015 general elections.

Jonathan’s reaction was contained in a statement by his former spokesperson, Reno Omokri.

Osinbajo had on Monday claimed that N100 billion and a separate $289 million were embezzled by officials of the Goodluck Jonathan administration, a few weeks to the 2015 elections.

He made the claims during a speech at the 7th Quarterly Business Forum (QBF) held at the State House, Abuja while insisting that the past administration played a huge role in the economic woes bedevilling the country.

He also alleged that the strategic alliance contracts signed by Jonathan’s government with the NNPC and NDPC were used to embezzle money by the promoters.



But on Tuesday, Omokri challenged Osinbajo to publish evidence that the former president shared the alleged amount before the election.

He also accused Osinbajo of repeatedly lying, saying the “vice-president has again surrendered his lips to Satan to be used to spread slander and lies”.

“Nigerians may recall that lying is the most consistent achievement of Professor Osinbajo’s almost three years as vice-president,” he said.

“On this most recent allegation by vice-president Osinbajo, let me state categorically that former President Jonathan did not share 150 billion two weeks to the 2015 election.

“If professor Osinbajo has proof that former President Jonathan did so, then we challenge him to publish his proof. He is a professor of law and ought to know that he who alleges must prove.

Omokri, we don't need VP to tell us obvious. Dollars gave to kings is more than any other proof.
