Presidency Denies Freezing Jonathan’s Account, Says Allowances Not stopped by PMBNG(op): 7:36pm On Oct 07, 2016

THE allegation by demonstrators in Bayelsa State on Thursday that allowances due to a former President have been stopped and his bank accounts were frozen is patently untrue, Nigeria’s Presidency said in a statement signed by Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu.

Though the statement did not mention the name of any former leader, it was evident that the person in question is former President Goodluck Jonathan who is from Bayelsa State.

“We have confirmed with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) that the former President and the other past leaders were paid their allowances up to the second quarter.

“The past leaders have not been paid third quarter allowances but will get their dues when remittances are received by the SGF from the Ministry of Finance.

“Also, the story of account closure is false. It is not known to the investigation agencies.

“The National Security Adviser to the President is not aware of this bank account closure; the DG SSS is unaware of it, the EFCC is unaware and the IG of Police is not in the know.

According Shehu, “With all of these agencies not being involved, how then could a thing like that happen? In a dream perhaps!

“To put it starkly, we believe there is a clear motive for the demonstration that is different from that which was being canvassed.

“This is a premeditated attempt to blame President Muhammadu Buhari for something he knows nothing about.

“These claims are false and poorly sourced to present a picture of vendetta; and they should be disregarded by well-meaning members of the public.

Shehu said “President Buhari remains committed to the ideals of justice and fairness to all irrespective of creed, religion and political leanings. His administration will not engage in vendetta.

Shame to those who thought Buhari will put GEJ in jail. Buhari is so fearful that he had to come out fast to deny allegations of freezing Jonathan's account. Good boy Buhari.

Did the said man or hiss media aide come out with a statement to complain??
Some people just have absolutely NOTHING to do!
These are the same people that will not come out in protest to complain about the economy like they are gainfully employed.

I pity for this country! Ethnicity and narrowmindedness will only prevent us from moving forward
