I Didn’t Award $2b Contract – Jonathan

Former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, yes­terday,
refuted claims that his administration awarded contract for arms
procurement to the tune of $2 billion.

Speaking at an event in Washington DC, Jonathan, stated that those
behind the statement are doing so to rubbish his name and achievements

"Where did that kind of money come from? I did not award any $2
billion contract for procurement of weapons.

"In Nigeria, if you lose $59.8 mil­lion in a year, federal and state
gov­ernments will not pay salaries," he said, adding that there is no
way Ni­gerian budget can accommodate such a loss without the country
coming to a standstill.

"That's why we brought interna­tional audit teams, forensic auditors
to audit the funds," he said.
