Jonathan Releases Statement On Alleged N2 Trillion Election Campaign ,

President Goodluck Jonathan has denied spending N2 trillion for campaigns in the just concluded April 11 general elections. The Presidency through Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President Media and Publicity, made this statement on Sunday.

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF REUBEN ABATI’S INTERVIEW WITH STATE HOUSECORRESPONDENTS ON THE SUNDAY PUNCH FRONT PAGE STORY OF APRIL 19, 2015 TITLED “JONATHAN DEMANDS N2tn ELECTION FUNDS REFUND, AUDIT” The front-page story of the Sunday Punch of April 19 alleging that the Presidency spent a whopping N2 trillion on the 2015 General elections, and that a Committee of Five has been set up byPresident Jonathan to conduct an audit of how the funds were disbursed by party members and state officials is mischievous, false and embarrassing. The President has not set up any committee as alleged in that story. It is also not true that the Presidency and the Peoples Democratic Party used state funds, or spent N2 trillion during the campaigns. The innuendoes are wrong-headed; the motives behind the story are suspicious.
