Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to an allegation by
the National Chairman of People’s Democratic (PDP), Ali Modu Sheriff
that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, gave him N50 million to
organise the recent stakeholders meeting in Abuja.
Jonathan who spoke through his media aide, Ikechukwu Eze, dismissed Sheriff’s claim and described it as untrue.
Jonathan explained that he intervened in the PDP crisis because of
his genuine commitment to bring about peace in the party that made him
president.
Eze said: “I don’t think anybody will believe that Jonathan collected
money from anybody to organise the meeting. It was out of his genuine
concern to bring peace to the party.
“He has been meeting with members of the party; he met with Sheriff
severally, he also met with Makarfi severally. He met with the
governors.
“I don’t see any reason for anybody to say that Jonathan collected money from anybody to organise the stakeholders conference”.
