Presidency denies buying jet for CAN President




Presidency denies buying jet for CAN President
The Presidency yesterday denied the allegation by the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) that President Goodluck Jonathan bought a private jet for President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, as a reward for his support during the 2011 presidential election.

CPC’s Spokeman Rotimi Fashakin said that following the spontaneous violent reaction in parts of the North to the outcome of the 2011 presidential election won by Dr. Jonathan, Pastor Oritsejafor, demanded the arrest of Gen Muhammadu Buhari.

“As a fitting reward for that execrable service and many others, Pastor Oritsejafor was rewarded on 10th November, 2012 with the gift of a Bombardier Private jet at a ceremony in which the President was physically present,” Fashakin claimed.

But reacting to the allegation yesterday, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati said that it was a product of an unimaginative mind.

According to him, it was a rambling statement that serves no purpose.

He said: “The statement by Rotimi Fashakin of the CPC is a thoroughly incoherent, stream of consciousness rambling that serves no purpose other than that it fits into a pattern of perpetual heckling and wolf crying by a defeated, unimaginative group that hides under the guise of being an opposition.”

“More discerning persons know the truth: that the CPC and its ACN conspirators will say anything no matter how unreasonable just so they can be seen to be saying something in the name of politics.”
“The Jonathan administration remains resolutely committed to the pursuit of the transformation agenda and will not be distracted or discouraged by those who in hustling for relevance have chosen to place their selfish interests before and above the national interest,”Abati said.
