Jonathan Swears: I Did Not Award $2 Billion Arms Procurement Contract

Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has denied ever awarding contract for arms procurement for $2 billion.

Jonathan spoke in Washington DC, United States of America on the topic: “Presidential elections and democratic consolidation in Africa: Case studies on Nigeria and Tanzania.” It was a conversational forum co-hosted by the National Democratic Institute and the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.

Speaking on the procurement of arms, Jonathan said: “I did not award a contract of $2 billion for procurement of weapons.”

This came against the background of the claim by National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki that his former boss approved all the contracts on arms procurement. [myad]
