Former President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday, revisited claims that over $49billion oil money was missing from the government coffers under his watch in 2014, noting that the narrative was not true.
Jonathan made the assertion during the launch of a book, ‘Public Policy And Agent Interests:
Perspectives From The Emerging World’, co-authored by a former minister of Finance, Dr. Shamshudeen Usman, who served as minister of planning under his administration.
The allegation about the missing money was made by the then Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) now Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, who incidentally is a contributor to the book.
In the book, Emir Sanusi apparently made reference to the saga, which he claimed led to his sack as CBN governor by President Jonathan.
But, Jonathan, who chaired the book launch event, in his opening remark, said as much as he agreed with the concept of the book and recommended it for research and policy framing, he disagreed with Sanusi’s claim on the missing $49bn.
The former president, who said Sanusi was not sacked but suspended, said there was no way such a huge amount of money would be stolen in Nigeria and the impact won’t be felt.
