N2Trillion Campaign Fund: Mischievous, False, Embarrassing – Abati

Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity has described a report by a national newspaper that claimed President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered a probe on how N2trillion was spent on its 2015 re-election campaign as mischievous, false and embarrassing.
Below is the full statement by Abati.

The front-page story of the Sunday Punch of April 19 alleging that the Presidency spent a whopping N2 trillion on the 2015 General elections, and that a Committee of Five has been set up by President Jonathan to conduct an audit of how the funds were disbursed by party members and state officials is mischievous, false and embarrassing.
The President has not set up any committee as alleged in that story. It is also not true that the Presidency and the Peoples Democratic Party used state funds, or spent N2 trillion during the campaigns. The innuendoes are wrong-headed; the motives behind the story are suspicious.
