ARE YOU SURE ? Buhari not persecuting Patience Jonathan – Lai Mohammed

Hehehe....The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has faulted the claim in some quarters that the Federal Government, under President Muhammadu Buhari, was out to persecute former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience.Mohammed told newsmen in Oro, Kwara State, on Tuesday that it would be unfair for anyone to think that the Federal Government was probing
Jonathan or Patience.He said, “If you look at the history of Mrs. Patience Jonathan’s issue, I think she was the one that came out to claim that the money found in the accounts of one of the aides to the former President, her husband, belonged to her. “It was not the EFCC that claimed so. She claimed that the money that the guy was being prosecuted for belonged to her. It was only then they later found an extra $5m in another account.“It is not as if anybody has gone out to probe Mrs. Jonathan directly or indirectly. Rather Mrs. Jonathan was the one that said ‘that money for which you are accusing Mr. X actually belongs to me. So, you cannot start talking of prosecution or persecution.”He stated that the current campaign of the Federal Government, ‘‘Change begins with me,’’ was not only for the people but also for the leaders.Mohammed also said it was incorrect to accuse Buhari’s government of being partisan, selective and vindictive in its anti-corruption war.
