In a statement by its publicity secretary, Joe Igbokwe on Thursday, the party said the statement proved he knew about the shady deals during his administration.
“To claim that Dasuki and his partners did not steal the arms purchase fund reveals the inner beliefs of Jonathan and explains that he is intrinsically webbed to corruption,” Igbokwe said.
While addressing a gathering on youth entrepreneurship at the Oxford Union, in the United Kingdom, Mr. Jonathan said it was impossible for Mr. Dasuki, a retired army colonel, to have stolen $2.2 billion as claimed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
“They said the National Security Adviser stole $2.2 billion,” Mr. Jonathan said while responding to a question about the alleged missing arms procurement fund now referred to as Dasukigate by the Nigerian media.
“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?”
The APC said there should be a limit to defending “such hefty corruption acts”, which greatly compromised the nation’s security and led to the loss of thousands of precious Nigerian lives. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Chief Igbokwe, please make Una leave that clueless man(biko unu rapu okpo ahu). What will you do with him? Absolutely nothing. It will be a waste of time to arrest such an imbecile. Don't be surprised that tomorrow, if you ask him this same question, he will give you another stupid response or answer.
ReplyDeleteI think you should be more worried with buhari goes around making a mess of himself with his mouth...Jonathan has never lied to Nigerians..and maybe u should check if it's you that is confused, GEJ does not look confused once bit so where u coming from, the moon?
DeleteI you and chief iogbokwe are great fools,have ask your self ever since buhari came if the army has purchase any weapon, what are they using to fight milliant and Boko haram since he took over,what GEJ simply mean is that from that amount the weapons were purchased, so dasuki the not steal that total amount. You people should some times talk like adult that are educated. Think and advise buhari on economical issues and fooling yourself because of this party something. But APC and PDP are not good

ReplyDeleteIgbokwe pls go and sit down...or better still go to ur party house and blabb
ReplyDeleteJeo Igbokwe has become a disgrace to Igbo race. He didn't know when he is being used by South West to show their disdain agsins the Niger Delta people. Recall that a lot of Niger Delta peoples abandoned their Igbo names and acquire Yoruba names thinking that Yoruba like them, hence Amaechi added Rotimi.Niger Deltans can't understand the Yoruba pretences for now
