“LNG Bailout Fund Was Saved By Jonathan”- PDP Tells Buhari by Nobody: 12:40pm On Jul 09, 2015
Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) insists that contrary to claims by the Presidency, the $2.1 billion Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) component of the bailout for states was actually saved by the immediate past President Jonathan-led PDP administration.

The party said in actual fact the LNG dividend stood at $5.6 billion even before the handover date of May 29th and would have been shared but for the insistence of former President Goodluck Jonathan that it be left for the incoming administration to manage.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in statement on Wednesday thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for making it possible for Nigerians to know that monies were left behind by the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

The party said despite attempts by the APC-led administration to hide the truth, the issuance of the bailout with funds from the LNG proceeds and the Excess Crude Account (ECA) has exposed the fact that the PDP administration actually left behind huge sums of money, contrary to the impression earlier given to Nigerians and the international community that the new administration met a virtually empty treasury.

“It is gratifying to note that gradually the evidence of monies left behind by the PDP-led administration is coming to public light despite effort by the new government to hide the facts.

The public had been made aware that $2 billion was left in the ECA for which the Accountant –General and the APC confirmed approvals for the withdrawal of $1.7 billion.

“We know that surely, though slowly, a lot of other monies saved by the PDP and which are now under the control of the APC government will eventually be unveiled by this administration themselves and without any effort on our part whatsoever.

The PDP says it believes that President Buhari must have realized that he was earlier misdirected on the actual state of the nation’s finances and should as a respected statesman apologize to his predecessor, President Goodluck Jonathan who also ensured that he handed over to him a peaceful and stable environment to operate.

The party said “President Buhari as a leader on whose shoulders lies the mandate of the Nigerian people and the burden of governance for the next four years should strive to disentangle himself from the intrigues, propaganda, blackmail and machinations of some leaders in his party and focus on delivering on his campaign promises for which he was elected.”

The PDP also urged the APC as a party in power to rise above board and endeavor to be honest in its dealings, especially if it wants Nigerians to take it seriously.

It said a situation where a ruling party will resort to a dishonorable act of altering a statement where it earlier acknowledged the approval for the withdrawal from the ECA, just to hide the truth, leaves much to be desired.

My problem is that the reputation Femi Adesina had build for years had been eroded in just 2months due to the lies he had been made to churn out in his defence of his indefensible boss.

Lying till tomorrow comes.

Foolish Metuh talking stupidly all over again.
Throughtout the years Jonah-daft was in power, did Nigerians ever heard of NLNG dividends coming into the Nigerian coffers the same way we have heard in this administration despite NLNG (A profitable company) paying dividends yearly. These fools will just collect the money, clean mouth and disclose it to no one.
WHo is the fool Metuh trying to deceive. Jonah-daft will have such money and he will choose to go borrow to pay salaries eh?
The truth is the dividend as at when he was in power simply wasnt ready. If not they would have squandered the damn thing like they have always done

Mr metuh can you tell us why your former principal has to borrow in order to pay salaries in his last month in office if actually the money you claimed was left in the treasury was actually there?

Not all Nigerians are fools you know.

Why can't PDP just shut up over this issue! You guys are beginning to sound like a broken record. You got nothing tangible to show for the hundreds of billions of dollars earned from oil. As though that wasn't enough, you borrowed more money than any government in Nigeria's history. And yet you still expect Nigerians to praise you for saving $2.1B! Are you guys nuts?

You're worse than Olisa Metuh. How come Metuh never said anything about the receipt of the money from NLNG until after Femi Adesina did? The said money was paid in June, after Jonathan left on May 29, and CBN acknowledged it in receipt in July. Maybe Metuh should also tell us if monies realized from customs, NNPC, etc were ever brought to our knowledge.
Re: “LNG Bailout Fund Was Saved By Jonathan”- PDP Tells Buhari by Nobody: 3:23pm On Jul 09, 2015
Trulyly PdP and Jonathan would have spent the money IF they really want to. They (PDP and GEJ) only acted in the most patriotic manner. They deserve commndation.
