JONATHAN PANICS: Runs To Abudusalam For $2.1b Probe By Buhari by Sirniyeh(m): 7:34pm On Jul 15, 2015

The Nation – Holidaying former President Goodluck Jonathan has dashed into Abuja to launch a protest, The Nation has learnt.

Dr Jonathan is disturbed by the determination of
President Muhammadu Buhari to probe how $2.1billion was illegally withdrawn from the Excess
Crude Account (ECA), sources said yesterday,
pleading not to be named “because of the sensitivity of the matter”.

Jonathan is said to be planning a protest to the
Gen. Abubakar Abdulsalami National Peace Committee for 2015 General Elections that:

•the Buhari administration is trying to blackmail
him and his erstwhile cabinet members;

•he is not pleased with the corruption tar being put on his administration; and that

•he is worried by the likely probe of the whereabouts of the $4billion taxes and dividends paid by the Nigerian Liquified Natural gas Ltd between 2009 and 2014.

Jonathan and some of his ministers are said to be
angry that Buhari ought to know that such taxes
and dividends are remitted to the Federal Inland
Revenue Service (FIRS).

Another matter troubling Jonathan and his ministers, according to sources, is how the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) under his watch allegedly blew N3.8trillion in three years.

The Abdulsalami Committee is yet to have audience with Buhari on the allegations made by Jonathan, a source said.

The former President arrived in the country last
weekend to “defend his administration”. He could
not be reached for comments last night.

It was, however, learnt that he had chosen to table
before the Abdulsalami Committee some issues,
including the controversial $2.1billion withdrawn
from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) without
recourse to the National Economic Council(NEC).
A source said: “The former President returned into
the country at the weekend but he is unhappy with
the bashing of his administration.

“Jonathan believes that Buhari is blackmailing him
and his ministers, contrary to the terms of the
2015 poll peace agreement which led to a smooth
transition from the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) to the opposition All Progressives Congress
(APC).

“I think Jonathan approached the Abdulsalami
Committee so that he will be left alone by Buhari
who openly said he inherited an empty treasury
from his predecessor.”

A former minister in the Jonathan administration,
who spoke in confidence, said: “The ex-President is
unhappy that the administration of Buhari has
been stigmatising his administration instead of
putting him into confidence on issues.

“For God’s sake, let them allow this man to earn his
well-deserved retirement. If there is any observation by the new government, there are standard official procedures of addressing such.”

NEC, on June 29, raised a four-man panel on how
NNPC spent N3.8 trillion in three years. The four ‘wise men’ are Governors Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna) and Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe).

While awaiting the submission of the committee’s
report, Oshiomhole joined issues with the immediate past Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on how $2.1billion in ECA was disbursed without approval.

He said the $2.1 billion, only $1 billion was paid to
oil marketers as fuel subsidy and about $1billion
used for election purposes.

Although Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala claimed that the ex-
President approved the spending of $1 billion,
Oshiomhole said Jonathan had no right to do so.
He said any withdrawal from the account ought to
be approved by NEC.
