The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, admitted Tuesday that he collected some money from former President Goodluck Jonathan to handle a job, just as he did not mention the nature of job that was given to him and how much was involved.
Addressing Journalists yesterday, Metuh cried out that the All Progressives Congress, APC led Federal Government has concluded plans to “silence” him.
In a text titled, ” Government Out to Silence Me” said, “Gentlemen of the press, this press briefing is expedient, taken into consideration the times we find ourselves, especially as they relate to me.
“In the last seven months, as opposition spokesperson, I have been hounded, harassed, intimidated and threatened severally. In order to avoid personal and family pressure, I had refrained from bringing them to the public domain.
“However, on account of recent information available to me, I now have cause to believe that the Federal Government is desperate and may have finalized plans to silence me.
“Nevertheless, I make bold to state the following: As someone who has been a private person, having not taken any public office, the choice of where, how and when to invest and conduct my personal business remains my prerogative. In this regard, I note that I never had any contract dealings with the immediate past Federal Government or any of its security apparatus.
“In the course of my duties as the National Publicity Secretary of our party, the then leader of our party and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria invited me and directed that I carry out some assignment relating to my office and which he duly funded. It is important to note that the former President was fully satisfied with the way and manner I handled the assignment.
“Finally, I reiterate that the present government should not use the apparatus of state power to settle personal scores.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteBarawo Banza! You did not work in the public service but your light fingers can touch public fund. Heeeeyyy wonder shall never cease. Nigerians are passive with what we're hearing it is enough to lynch all the public funds looters. If all of you can be silenced for the good of the country so be it
ReplyDeleteStart the revolution....we will follow u behind...
DeleteOlisa Mettuh should not be silenced but be allowed to speak out to the pubic just as he has always been outspoken. Pls shout out to Nigerians what the money you were given by the former president was meant and used for.
DeleteThis guy is speaking in parable. Why the rush? If you don't ve any skeleton in your cupboard why crying fowl now. Your blowing tour own trumpet
ReplyDeleteTheif dey fear. Death to all looters. Until we follow the footsteps of China where corrupt officers are killed, we will remain on the same spot. But unfortunately our legislooters will never pass a bill on corruption.
ReplyDeletecan't stop laughing
ReplyDeleteNo, he is not crying foul. He his only saying very soon, he is goto be witch hunted for the money he collected and assignment he did that nobody knows. Mtheew, truly Nigeria is a very tolerant country. In China, a former minister who committed fraud was sentenced to death but thank God for intl community who begged on his behalf and they committed it to life imprisonment.
ReplyDeletePdp Looting Company Nigeria Plc. It will never be well with you. Nonsense.
ReplyDeleteSuch weak attempt at parable speaking. Metuh's veiled statement smacks of guilt! He sounds to me like one of the 40 Thieves which Jonathan worked with to loot Nigeria's common wealth. Like someone has said above, why the rush, Mr Metuh? Just wait till the Hangman comes to your doorstep.
ReplyDelete“In this regard, I note that I never had any contract dealings with the immediate past Federal Government or any of its security apparatus,” he said.
ReplyDeleteyou collected how much money for which job? you have been given excuse to talk now please tell us, we have been listening to your very articulated yabbies' all these months its time to see the saint in you METU OLISE?
It is very sad that they are all People Destroying People (PDP). If your hand is clean you should be able to tell the whole world the job that was giving to you and how much you collected or show us the certificate of completion that was issued to you at completion of the JOB. Kindly save your voice until you will need it to shout very well. Remember, it is written, let hand be join in hand sinners shall not go unpunished.
ReplyDeleteDid I just hear legislooters? please don't bring them in. They constitute both APC and PDP members. Olise Metu should better start confessing. Then Nigerians would consider if to jail or silence him, as he said.
