Former President Goodluck Jonathan says Nigeria did not lose $49.8 billion under his administration as stated by the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, in his new book.
Jonathan spoke Thursday in Abuja at the launch of the book titled: “and he is inPublic Policy and Agent Interests: Perspectives from The Emerging World”.
The book was edited by former Minister of Finance, Shamsuddeen Usman.
According to the former President, the country cannot lose such an amount and still be able to pay salaries.
“I need to say why I did not quite agree with him. All that he wrote was on some of the issues, especially the one that is related to me.
“He said he was sacked because he blew the whistle that the federal government lost $49.8 billion. It’s not quite correct. It was not that he was sacked. He was suspended,” he said. Daily Trust
