Okey Igbokwe RESPONDED TO MY COMMENT ON HIS POST AND THIS IS WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. “ N2.7trn, an unproven fact bandied about by the opposition press. And you also forgot that the most hyped up N2.7trn, if at all it ever existed, were part of the funds shared with the 36 state governors for security votes including other allocations from the excess crude accounts? If you are holding Gej responsible, also hold the governors to explain how they spent what they got.” THIS IS MY RESPONSE! THAT IS NOT THE TRUE FACT. N2.7 TRILLION IS THE AMOUNT HE SPENT IN THE NAME OF SUBSIDY TO BRIBE PDP LEADERS IN ORDER TO BE SUPPORTED IN 2011 TO RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY. FURTHERMORE, WHAT MAKES IT A CORRUPTION AND THIEVERY IS THAT IT WAS NEITHER BUDGETED NOR APPROPRIATED BY THE LAW THAT YEAR. MOREOVER, THE BUDGET FOR SUBSIDY THAT YEAR WAS N250 BILLION. THE BAD THING IS THAT HE SPENT THIS HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM SOURCE, THEREBY DENYING STATES (INCLUDING MINE) THEIR SHARE OF IT. THIS IS THE REASON ROTIMI SUED HIM ON BEHALF OF THE 36 GOVERNORS UNDER THE NGF. THAT I THINK IS ONE OF THE REASONS HE IS AGAINST ROTIMI AND IS OUT TO DESTROY THE NGF. NOTABLY ALSO, HE HAS REFUSED TO PURSUE THE CONVICTION OF THOSE INVOLVED INCLUDING PDP CHAIRMAN AND HIS SON. MY BROTHER JONATHAN IS CORRUPT OR ELSE HE SHOULD BE FIGHTING CORRUPTION. TRUTH BE TOLD AT THE POINT WE ARE NOW WHAT WE NEED IS A LEADER THAT CAN FIGHT CORRUPTION. IF WE DON’T FIGHT CORRUPTION, WE SHOULD FORGET THE DREAM OF MAKING PROGRESS.
