The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders has said the comments of former President Jonathan about the allegations against his former National Security Adviser,
Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), was a way of preparing for his own defence when he was eventually called to question.
Jonathan had expressed disbelief against the allegation against Dasuki while giving a
lecture at the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom.
He said, “They said the National Security Adviser (Sambo Dasuki) stole $2.2bn. I don’t believe somebody can just steal $2.2bn.
‘‘We bought warships, we bought aircraft, we bought lots of weapons for the Army and so on and so forth and you are still saying $2.2bn (was stolen). So,
where did we get the money to buy all those things?
But the Executive Chairman of CACOL, Mr. Debo Adeniran, said the former President’s comments were expected.
Adeniran said, “I am not surprised that the former President made such a statement because he has always demonstrated his ignorance of how much malfeasance
took place under his watch.
