‘Buhari Is Just Exaggerating, Dasuki Did Not Steal $2.2bn’ – Goodluck Jonathan

Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has dismissed the persistent reports that former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki stole $2.2billion when he was in power.Jonathan stated this while responding to questions after his lecture at Oxford University yesterday.

Responding to a question on Dasuki, Jonathan said

“They said the National Security Adviser stole $2.2billion. I don’t believe somebody can just steal $2.2 billion.

“We bought warships, we bought aircraft, we bought lots of weapons for the army and so on and so forth and you are still saying 2.2 billion, so where did we get the money to buy all those things?

“Yes, there were some issues. Yes, there are still corruption issues but some of it were over blown. I’d say exaggerated and they give a very bad impression about our nation. You cannot say the national security adviser stole $2.2billion. It is not just possible”.

Dasuki was arrested last year and has been in detention since. He is to be re-arraigned in court on November 16th.
Jonathan also stated that after he signed the anti-same sex marriage law in January 2014, no Nigerian has been discriminated.
