How Jonathan gave me N400m before 2015 election — Metuh
Mr Metuh, who is facing a seven-count charge for alleged diversion of N400 million he received from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, said the money was credited to his account, ”after he exposed some of the challenges that faced Mr Jonathan’s re-election bid”.
He said former President Jonathan was highly impressed with the presentation and assured that the party was in good financial standing to sponsor a ‘favourable’ media campaign. “He directed the National Financial Secretary to approve my outstanding bills and to keep for emergencies for my media campaign. Subsequently, he approved the programme for the party’s media campaign”.
When asked by his lawyer, Emeka Etiaba, if he was aware of the source of the N400 million, Mr Metuh said: “I know the payment came from the President as a leader of the party and with assurances of the funds that he raised from his friends. “She promised to get a copy of the statement to me, but it was the same day that I was invited and arrested by EFCC.
Besides, the prosecution which had earlier closed its case after it called eight witnesses that testified before the court, equally alleged that Mr Metuh was involved in an illicit transaction that involved the exchange of $2 million.
