Leaders of Ndigbo resident in Lagos
State have confirmed that they were
given money by President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The former President of Ohaneze, Lagos
State, and coordinator of Goodluck
Jonathan Support Group, Dr Oliver
Akabueze, are primarily involved in the
case.
As it was informed by the Sahara
Reporters, the president solicited for
their support and asked the leaders to
mobilize Igbos in the state to vote for
him.
Moreover, Dr Oliver Akabueze
explained that the money they received
was not a bribe but campaign fund to
mobilise the Igbos in the state to vote
for the president.

Akabueze also stated that the president
donated a luxury bus for his campaign,
so that the bus must be fuelled and a
driver must be employed to drive it
during the Jonathan’s campaign.
Despite the fact he declined to disclose
the amount of money the president gave
them in Lagos, some sources inform it
runs into billions of naira.
Also, as it was informed from one of the
leaders, some of them got N500,000,
while the others were given N300,000
and N100,000, respectively.
Besides, some of the leaders said the
money has caused division as some of
the leaders who felt shortchanged said
they will not campaign for Jonathan.

To be mentioned, last week President
Jonathan spent five days in Lagos,
where he held series of meetings with
various ethnic and socio-cultural groups
and their leaders to seek their support
for his re-election.
During his stay, he reportedly donated
billions of naira to some of the groups,
though his media assistant, Reuben
Abati, has denied the president gave out
money to anyone.

i know this must come from sahara reporters. it is not hard to know.
