$250m Bribe Scandal: President Jonathan denied Claim saying, Gov Lamido Lied Against Me

      President Goodluck Jonathan has denied the claim by Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State that he reported a serving minister in the Presidency who allegedly collected a $250m bribe from an oil company without the President taking any action on the information.

Governor Lamido was quoted as saying: “Do you know that recently a top minister received a $250 million (about 42.25 billion) bribe for himself… he (the minister) is in the cabinet; he is in this current regime; he knows and I know, and I told President Jonathan.”

But Jonathan, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati, described the claims by the governor as “grossly irresponsible, false and mischievous.” He said no such communication took place between him and the governor.

He said the governor’s “patently bogus allegation” was a callous attempt to impugn Jonathan's integrity and cast aspersion on his administration’s anti-corruption war.

A source close to Governor Lamido said he is not surprised by the Presidency denial, because even the clear case of corruption against Stella Oduah which all Nigerians can see, they are trying to cover it up.
