Leaders of Ndigbo resident in Lagos State, southwest
Nigeria, have confirmed that they were given money by President Goodluck
Jonathan during his recent visit to the state to solicit for their
support and votes.
Making this known is the former President of Ohaneze, Lagos State,
and coordinator of Goodluck Jonathan Support Group, Dr Oliver Akabueze.
He said that the president solicited for their support and asked the leaders to mobilise Igbos in the state to vote for him.
He
explained that the money received was not a bribe but campaign fund to
mobilise the Igbos in the state to vote for the president who is seeking
re-election.
Akabueze also stated that the president donated a luxury bus for his
campaign and that the bus must be fuelled and a driver must be employed
to drive the bus around the state during the campaign for Jonathan.
Though he declined to disclose the amount of money the president gave
them in Lagos, sources said it runs into billions of naira.
Investigation revealed that the manner the money was shared has
divided the leaders. Some of the leaders are grumbling because some got
more money than the others.
