Ex President Goodluck Jonathan has reportedly summoned the former aides and ex ministers over impeding probe is the $2.1bn arms purchased scam. The punch reported that current investigation of former President , Jonathan aides and calls for his own probe formed part of the discussion at the meeting.
Many of the former ministers are said to be worried that the anti - corruption efforts of president Muhammad Buhari seems to be focused solely on those who served in the last administration. However, some leaders of the opposition party asked the incumbent leaders not to accept the pressure being mounted on him to investigate Jonathan. According to them, doing so would amount to laying a bad precedent.
Chief Ebenezer Babatope, a PDP board of trustees member, advised the Buhari-led administration not to prove ex-president, adding that doing so would humiliate the PDP leader. Jonathan's staunch loyalties also have expressed dissatisfaction over calls for the probe of the former Nigerian leader.
The spokeperson of the Ijaw National Congress, Mr Victor Burubo, said that it was wrong for anybody to begin the probe of the ex-president. The presidency recently said that the anti -graft commission is free to probe Jonathan, adding that Buhari does not tele-guide the EFCC in anuway.
Former National security adviser sambo is currently in detention, reportedly said that he received approvals from Jonathan to divert huge sun of arms in the war against Boko Haram insurgents.
While some want a prospective probe to be limited to former President Jonathan government, some wants it to be extended to all past government.
