Former president of Nigeria,
Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to alleged withdrawal of billions of Naira from
the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, while he was in office.
The former president, who spoke
at a meeting organised by the Anglican Community in Abuja on Friday, described
the allegation as false and misleading.
He expressed sadness and
disappointment at those spreading such allegations.
Jonathan said: “I remember a
particular incidence where somebody was talking about billions that were
removed from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) when I was in power and I asked
them, how many trucks were used to carry all these billions?
“In Nigeria, we get carried away
by figures and it’s sad that we go too low to tell lies against people.”
The immediate past president
however called for more prayers over the spate of insecurity in the country and
demanded that more should be done to nip the crisis in the bud.
