I Won’t Speak on Arms Scandal Now - Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan says he cannot speak on the current $2.1bn arms scam now because the matter is in court.

A former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki; the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, and others are currently standing trial for their alleged role in the scam.

Jonathan, however, said in due time, he would tell his own side of the story.

The former President said this in a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle on Wednesday.

He said, “My voice will certainly be heard at the appropriate time regarding the alleged arms funds mismanagement. I would not want to interfere with the proceedings by the judicial system that my administration worked tirelessly to strengthen.

“My post-presidential focus is advancing democracy and good governance in Africa. If we do not spend billions to educate Africa’s youths today, we will spend it fighting insecurity tomorrow.”
