The Presidency has stated that President
Muhammadu Buhari is always ready to host
and have talks with former President
Goodluck Jonathan regarding the arms
procurement scandal which billions of naira
was appropriated for.
With each passing day, the public calls for
the former President to explain his role in
the scandal, keeps growing.
Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Femi Adesina, revealed
to Punch Newspapers on Saturday, that
Buhari was willing to meet with Jonathan on
the matter.
The President is expected to give insight into
his role in the arms deals of his
administration- an explanation which is
expected to be beneficial to the Economic
and Fincancial Crimes Commission in its
investigation of the massive funds diversion.
Adesina was quoted to have said: “A former
President should always have access to a
sitting one. It would be uncouth and
indecent to shut out a former occupant of
such lofty office. If some people did it to
their predecessors in the past, it is not this
President who believes in decency and
civility.
“Yes, President Buhari will always grant
audience to former President Jonathan, if
there is any request for such. A rebuff does
not come into the picture at all.”
The former National Security Adviser, Sambo
Dasuki, who reported directly to Jonathan, is
being investigated for playing a major role in
the diversion and disbursement of arms
funds.
