I’m not a sponsored of Niger Delta militancy-Jonathan

Former Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan has denied being one of the sponsors of militancy in the Niger Delta region...

The Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) had said many notable Ijaw and other Niger Delta leaders and elders, including Jonathan were involved in sponsoring the activities of militancy in the Niger Delta region.

The former president’s Media Aide, Ikechukwu Eze in a statement on Sunday said the claim made by Cynthia White should be discarded as Jonathan could never be a sponsor of militancy in the Niger Delta.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we are fully convinced that such an idiotic claim is too cheap a narrative, a facile contrivance so badly concocted that any discerning mind would easily see through its disingenuous and duplicitous nature.

Speaker Dogara wants to kill me, Jibrin cries out! out!! out!!!

Former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has accused Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara and 12 others of planning to kill him.
In a statement he released on Sunday evening, Jibrin said he no longer feels safe as Dogara and others he accused of illegally inserting N40b into the 2016 budget have perfected plans to eliminate him.
”I believe Speaker Dogara, the 12 others and some vested interest within and outside the House want to kill me. I no longer feel safe. I have carefully followed their desperation to suppress what will go down in history as the biggest corruption case in Nigeria. I have prepared myself for any eventuality. I have spoken to my mum and dad extensively during the weekend. I have prepared my family. I have handed over a handwritten note and documents to a popular SAN, a man of integrity and other persons that I believe will lay it bare even if they succeed in killing me,” Jibrin stated.
The Kano-born member of the Green Chamber in the National Assembly also accused two serving governors and some politicians of working to give Speaker Dogara a soft landing on the alleged budget padding.
