STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE: NO TRUTH IN ALLEGED CLAIMS BY HENRY OKAH



The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to reports in the media of allegations made against President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in an affidavit said to have been sworn to by Mr. Henry Okah who is facing trial in South Africa for his involvement in terrorist acts against the Federal Republic of Nigeria.



The Presidency categorically affirms that these allegations are false in their entirety and without any factual foundation.

As the case of Mr. Okah’s involvement in the plotting and execution of terrorist attacks in Nigeria is already before a court of competent jurisdiction in South Africa, the Presidency does not intend to say anymore on the matter for now and will, in accordance with due process and international law, make a full representation on the matter to the court when the trial opens.



The Presidency also advises the Nigerian media to respect the sanctity of the legal and judicial processes in this matter and avoid becoming willing tools in the hands of Mr. Okah and his agents in an entirely diversionary trial by the media aimed only at falsely impugning the character and integrity of the President and officials of his administration.

This one no be news now. It is what we have all been waiting for.

Mr. Abati should know that these are serious allegations that can not be shove away with mere lies and counter lies.

"The bombing on 1 October 2010 was a platform for the elimination of political opposition from the North in the form of General Ibrahim Babangida. The bombing of 1 October 2010 was also intended by the President Goodluck Jonathan Government to create anti-North sentiments nationwide in order to galvanise support from other sections of Nigeria against other northern candidates in the Presidential elections," Okah said in a 194-page affidavit

Rubbish.... I believe Henry Okah. The President has the obligation to say more on the matter. This is a serious allegation that the president must thoroughly defend. And I also see they are trying to whoop up sentiments in the media by trying to threathen them. Henry Okay, NSA.......

I will like to hear Arewa's response to.

Abati would have rather Okah mentioned Pasor Bakare than GEJ.Nonsense

abati keeps sinking deeper everyday.he hasnt said anything that i didnt expect him to say but the veiled threat to the media is condemnable.okah has a right to fair hearing and jonathan has a moral responsibility to clear his name by stating the facts.why did his aides visit okah?why did he absolve MEND?why the dokpesi charade?

This Guy Dr. Reuben Abati has now turned a Pencil in the Hand of Politicians.

Money is evil

Henry Okah needs to visit Yaba left for clarification!

Bubblegum bullshit!!!! What were u guys xpecting 2 hear 4rm d presidency? If it were IBB or BUHARI henry okay mentioned,9jirians would believe and d media wouldnt b warned but its GEJ d shoeless fisherman.

They say in the end all shall be revealed, I guess this is it. 2 of his niger/delta bros, azazi nd okah, hmmm I it was Aziz and Omar posters would have been on this thread Like petrol on fire!

We northerners dey watch patiently until the next revelation by maybe Reno (beaf) or till when dem bring down der own "ause" (as my yoruba friends would say) fashola better be ready for 2015 as buhari don talk say him no go run!

Beaf & his co sad friends are no where to be found.

All of a sudden, the meassiah and God-sent aka GEJ has his hands soaked with blood of innocent nigerians. Blood sucking drunken fisherman!

Am now looking GEJ like hidden-devil ;Dand Abati like hidden-devil worshiper

i believe beef is among the 9 guests viewing the topic. Its soo hard showing ur face when ur ogas are punching each other at the face. Shameles vampires! this thrilling drama unfolds gradually and its getting to its climax! Cant wait to see the sequel

Abati is decieving himself in that Govt. house called Aso Rock. This is what you get when there is no direction in a man's life, one minute he criticizes GEJ and the next minute he is defending GEJ blindly because the source and amount of daily bread has changed for good . . .all thanks to GEJ a.k.a. Awuf Presido

I see nothing bad in what Abati has written. Its just a response to an allegation, which is expected and done everywhere 'democracy' is practised.
Am not Goodluck fan, but wether guilty of not, i dont expect a different report from the presidency. Okah's accusation doesnt prove anything, anyone could be accused.
I see Henry Okah as someone who is drowning, desperate, ready to grap anything and will stop @ nothing to survive. In my opinion Henry okah is just looking for someone to go down with.

is it not now clearer dat GEJ & his boss OBJ are d real sponsors of Boko Haram?
wat if Boko Haram is a tool used by JONA 2 divide d North along religious line by exploiting d ignorance n religious fanatism in d North?
d core Northerners i.e Hausa's are muslem extremist while d Middle Belt is dorminated by Christians 4from d minority tribes which provide opportunity dat is wel exploited by GEJ. As u can c d present north is diff 4from d old northern region courtesy GEJ

useless ppl dey want 2 divert our attention, tank god we already understand wat is going on.Mr OKAH we need more

kokoA: I will like to hear Arewa's response to.

Respond to what? When the man is talking about what started in Bayelsa. No body will expand the topic for una.

nakedall: Henry Okah needs to visit Yaba left for clarification!

That belong's to the Federal Goverment? You try, find another excuse for oga.

if jonathan and pdp has nothing to do with boko haram, my questions are as follows;
1. how come in all these bombing, no pdp top member or family member has been a victim?
2. why did jonah jang of plateau state give N100m to the family of the slain boko haram leader?
3. markets, churches and schools have been bombed yet jonathan is not worried - why?
4. why is it that senator ndume, sambo and governor's lodge where the boko haram spokesman was arrested all are pdp members?
5. why is it that terrorists related cases like that of ndume got bail while fraud and other less serious issues no dey get bail?

nakedall: Henry Okah needs to visit Yaba left for clarification!

That belong's to the Federal Goverment? You try, find another excuse for oga.

Of course I don't xpct GEJ & his cabinet 2 confirm Okah's allegation. Only GOD, GEJ & Okah knw who dey talk true & who dey lie.

What happened to the text messages indicting Dokpesi and IBB?
