Former power and steel minister and current Deputy National Leader of
the Northern Elders Forum, Dr Paul Unongo, has said that President
Muhammadu Buhari is being mindful to summon former President Goodluck
Jonathan over the $2.1 billion Arms purchase fund which was allegedly
siphoned by former Security Adviser, Lt. Col Sambo Dasuki (Rtd).
According to Dr Paul, Jonathan must face the wrath of the law if
found guilty to have masterminded the $2.1 billion diverted Arms
purchase fund through Dasuki.
He said: “I think President Buhari is trying to be careful in not
summoning Jonathan so far. I don’t believe there was an agreement
President Buhari had not to probe Jonathan as being reported”.
Former President – Goodluck Jonathan
Dr Paul who acknowledged the fact that Jonathan was a hero by
conceding defeat in the last 2015 presidential election also stated
that, “Jonathan deserves a special consideration for his contribution to
democratic culture in Nigeria and for enabling us to avert a national
crisis by conceding defeat during the general elections. He also
mobilised support for the present government. Jonathan was great in
defeat. He is a hero for doing this.
“ if it is proved by a transparent process that he stole the
country’s money and he refuses to return it, then the law should take
its course, whether he is a former President or not. He should be
prosecuted and jailed. This is important in order to serve as a
deterrent to others”. Thanks for reading.
