| GOODLUCK JONATHAN |
The Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) – a
coalition of over 400 civic organizations alleged that
agents of the Jonathan administration offered it a bribe of N2 billion
for the purpose of compromising the outcome of the 2015 elections.
The bribe offer came by way of what the TMG chairman, Ibrahim Zikirullahi, branded a dubious proposal.
The allegation is coming on the heels of
ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) into how $115million (N23.299billion) was contributed
by some oil barons and shared to some electoral officials to rig the
elections in favour of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
Fidelity Bank, which handled
the disbursement of the funds, has already refunded the N49.7million
profit it made from the deal while the EFCC is said to have recovered
N408.7million from some of the beneficiaries of the slush funds.
The TMG said yesterday that it has now
been “vindicated by the latest revelations from the EFCC about how some
INEC chiefs and election monitors shared from N23.3 billion slush
provided by former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison
Madueke.”
