NSA's $2.2 Billion Diversion - Presidency Denies Receiving Five Armoured SUVs, Monetary Compensation From The Jonathan Administration!

Responding to the recent indictment made by the opposition Peoples' democratic Party (PDP) Youth Frontier, that part of the billions, being funds meant to be utilized for arms acquisition for the Nigerian Army, but which was diverted by former National Security Adviser Colonel Sambo Dasuki, during the Goodluck Jonathan's administration, "was used to buy bullet proof vehicles for Buhari, Not one, not two, not even three, SUVs, Sedans, Etc".


Muhammadu Buhari
The Presidency in a statement signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, denied reports that President Muhammadu Buhari received $300,000.00 and about five armoured SUVs from the Office of the National Security Adviser in the aftermath of the attack on his convoy in Kaduna -  North - Western Nigeria, in 2014. Instead, it stated that the vehicles in question, were in keeping with Buhari's entitlements as a former Head of State under the Remuneration of Former Presidents and Heads of State (And other Ancillary Matters) Decree of 1999, which provides that three vehicles will be provided for Former heads of state and replaced every four years


The Statement Below: 

"Our attention has been drawn to reports making the rounds, especially  online, that President Muhammadu Buhari received $300,000.00 and up to five armoured SUVs from the Office of the NSA in the aftermath of the attack on his convoy in Kaduna last year.
We unequivocally deny that President  Buhari received $300,000.00 or any monetary compensation whatsoever from the Jonathan Presidency or any of its officials, in the aftermath of that attack, or at any other time since then.

While it is true that one armoured SUV and one untreated SUV were sent to the President in the aftermath of the attack, The vehicles were in keeping with his entitlements as a former Head of State under the Remuneration of Former Presidents and Heads of State (And other Ancillary Matters) Decree of 1999. Section 3, Sub Section 1 of that Decree provides that three vehicles will be provided for Former heads of state and replaced every four years. 

There was therefore nothing untoward, illegal or tending to corruption in former Head of State Buhari and Presidential aspirant, as he then was, receiving vehicles, to  which he was statutorily entitled, from the Federal Government of Nigeria President Buhari had in keeping with his austere, spartan and frugal disposition  shunned most of his entitlements as a former Head of State but was prevailed upon by his supporters to accept the two vehicles for his personal safety in the aftermath of the dastardly attempt to assassinate him.

It is preposterous to think that the President will allow his acclaimed reputation of honesty and incorruptibility to be tarnished by accepting a questionable monetary compensation from a  discredited  regime."
