Nigeria president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan yesterday dismissed N500m donations claim.
According to a statement signed by Dr. Akilu Sani Indabawa, the Special Adviser to the president on political matters , Akilu said the presidency strongly repudiate a report in sections of media on 05/01/11 alleging that six state governors have each contributed N500 million to the campaign of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, he said the false reports quoted a forged letter purportedly written by him to the six governors acknowledging receipt of their donations on behalf of the Jonathan/Sambo Presidential Campaign Organisation.
The report is entirely false and fabricated to ridicule Mr. President in the eyes of the Nigerian public. The forged letter attempts to criminally portray Mr. President and the six mentioned governors, who incidentally are co-ordinators of the President’s campaign in the zones, as treasury looters.
This is no doubt a wicked concoction to cast a shadow of doubt on Mr. President’s widespread support nationwide and we are not going to take it lying low.
I have officially written to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, reporting the matter and seeking adequate legal redress. Forgery is a criminal offence in our laws, and this matter must be pursued to a logical conclusion. Akilu added
