The presidency has denied reports
that Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido informed President Goodluck Jonathan
that a serving minister recently collected 250million dollars bribe from an oil
firm and has refused to act on the information.
A statement
signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, Reuben
Abati said the Presidency views the patently bogus allegation reportedly made
by the Governor in a radio interview on Thursday, as an unacceptable and
callous attempt to unjustly impugn the integrity of President Jonathan as well
as cast aspersions on the sincerity of his Administration’s efforts to check
corruption.
The statement adds that while the Jonathan
Presidency continue to make corrupt public officials answerable for their
actions, it will not succumb to harassment and blackmail by self-seeking
politicians jostling for personal advantage
