Goodluck Jonathan deserves trial for corruption.
.Is the N400m his personal money?

National assignment(s)?
The list of the national assignment(s) ought to be mentioned by him so as to back up his claim.
Abeg ask him if the national assignment was budgeted for by the national assembly, and ask him how the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party was given national assignment instead of party assignment.

You better apply to be his lawyer and give this argument in court. Maybe the judge might just find him innocent because he "stole" or laundered N400 when another person was laundering N12 billion.

A former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, Thursday told the Federal High Court in Abuja that the N400m alleged money laundering was paid to him by former President, Goodluck Jonathan.

He, therefore, denied that it was given to him by the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

Metuh explained that Jonathan paid him the money to execute some National assignment for the Federal Government.

Giving evidence on behalf of his company, Dextra Investment Ltd which is the second defendant in the suit and the account where the N400m was paid into, the ex-spokesperson of the PDP told Justice Okon Abang that he could not consider the money for act of any unlawful purpose because it came from the then president.

Metuh recalled that he held a meeting with Jonathan where various issues and challenges facing the country were discussed and, it was on the basis that Jonathan made the N400m available to him to carry out the national assignment.

Further, that the money could not have been for an unlawful purpose because he was helping and contributing to stabilizing the then government because then-president Jonathan was elected on the PDP platform.

Metuh specifically dismissed allegations that the money was channelled to him through Dasuki. “I did not receive any money from Col. Sambo Dasuki. Dasuki represents one of the finest and most brilliant military officers ever produced in the Nigerian military. He has had a distinguished career, served a lot of government and finally served as National Security Adviser for this country, under former president Jonathan.

“Up till May 29, 2015, no individual or group had ever questioned Dasiki’s integrity not to talk of been charged or arrested for any unlawful act. I am not aware of any criminal charge against Dasuki or any unlawful act until we lost government in 2015.

“As I am talking on oath before this court now, I can say categorically that Dasuki has not been interrogated, charged or convicted for any act relating to me and my company.

“The N400m was paid into my account by the then president and I did not conceal or disguise the money and it was not transferred out of jurisdiction”.

It was on this premise, he also urged the court to take a look into the list of disbursement carried out in cash and in cheques.

Metuh also dismissed the insinuation that the N400 million was meant to fund the PDP. He, however, disclosed that at the period under review, the PDP was rich to the tune of N33bn, with N12bn generated from sales of nomination forms and N21bn raked from fundraising.

But Justice Abang adjourned the matter to June 24, 25 and 26 for further cross-examination.

That was how they wasted 16 years with corruption and treasury looting.They later came back with economic solutions of Nigeria's problem in 2019 election. The tears of the masses will make their end more worst. than their beginning and all the loots will vanish in their eyes....

Nigeria is definitely not mature enough to be an independent country. A country where the President can put hands in the treasury and disburse N400m at his whims. In the United States, the President can't spend a penny without a congressional authorization!

The best thing that can happen to Nigeria is to be colonized by the United States, Canada, or Germany. Or else, Nigeria will remain the zoo forever - Zoological Republic of Nigeria!

You think it is legal for the President to give a private individual 400m of Taxpayers funds?

Why do you think Metuh keeps mentioning GEJ? He knows GEJ has been given de facto immunity by PMB, so he's a safer subject to rope in than Dasuki

it's not what you or anyone thinks, it is outcome of the presidential system of government we practice in Nigeria and in particular reference; the security vote that the president is authorised to spend without any check and balance
I bet you what the current government under president buhari in its re election is no where that sum

I am of the opinion that if we desire a change, then let it be holistic. The current government is spent and are still spending money outside the appropriation bill because of the weakness of our laws.
I expect the APC government in fulfilment of the change/next level they promised us to pursue/abolish the security vote of a thing both at the federal and state level instead of witch hunting the previous actors of the last government while they are committing the same crime/corruption presently.

Before checking how the money was spent, he should first tell us the nature of the National assignment Jonathan paid him for. We are also interested in seeing a copy of the contract award letter, contract agreement and the certificate of no objection from BPP. If he can produce all these documents, we can then start talking about how the money was expended on the “national assignment”.

Since the money was given to you for national assignment, why not mention it for us to hear.



Presidents shouldn't be handing over public funds to private political parties for National assignments. Political parties are private entities and they shouldn't be anywhere near public funds or conducting any national assignment on behalf of Nigerians.

This is how these thoughtless, crooked and corrupt people blatantly insult our collective intelligence.

very laughable and sad at the same time.
