Adesina Dismisses Accusations Against Gowon by Nobody: 8:31am On Nov 26, 2020
Akinwunmi Adesina extols Gowon in defence to UK MP's allegation of CBN looting during his reign.

Akinwunmi Adesina has shared his thoughts about the raging controversy surrounding General Yakubu Gowon.

It is no longer news he has been accused by a British MP of being behind, arguably, the greatest theft of public funds ever witnessed by the country. But in his opinion, Adesina advised that people be circumspect in believing what has been said about the former Commander in Chief.

He shared his thoughts on via twitter thus:


Be careful of misinformation! H.E. General Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria’s former Head of State, is a man of great honour, decency, honesty, amazing simplicity, humility and integrity. I know him. A great and admirable elder statesman of Nigeria. His honesty and integrity are impeccable.

He's one of the most honest and responsible elder statesman in Nigeria.

The member of the parliament in UK who said he stole half of CBN is just chasing clout and relevancy in the Nigerian space and only the ipob people will give him that.

It was an extremely silly allegation to start with. What is shocking is how so many people believed without fact checking. How can an individual move half of CBN to the Uk in the 70’s? How?

Anyway, we need the UK MP to tell us how much Diezani moved to London. We can’t afford to wait for another 45 years before they tell us the truth. While at it, they can start the sanction thing with her. Revoke her visa and send her back to Nigeria. That’s the best way to show sincerity of purpose.

Adeshina should not interfere with a situation that happened when he was less than 6years old..

It public knowledge how Buhari hailed Abacha as upright and honest like Nigerians didnt live through Abachas reign. but till today, we are still receiving Abachas loot.

Gowon is alive today, the MP stands on his words, Gowon should sue the UK in his defense and not Adesina gambling with his reputation..

Heroes past indeed.

Gowon cannot sue him because he enjoys legislative protection for whatever he says in the parliament. If he is so sure of what he’s saying, let him repeat the same rubbish outside the parliament and watch how fast he would be slammed with a suit.

Btw, when is the MP telling us how much Diezani moved to the UK? Do we have to wait for another 45 years before they start entertaining us with earth shaking revelation like this?

A man that has had dinner with the queen, Zombie why will Gowon stoop low to answer a low life hungry parliamentarian that is probably seeking attention, so he can come and lobby for contract from the Federal Government, for whichever company he is lobbying for, it isn’t a new scheme in politics. Congressman Jefferson of New Orleans & Abubakar Atiku comes to mind?

So how come we are just hearing this now. Saying he stole half of CBN is highly ridiculous and atrocious .. The truth is the MP doesn't no what he's saying, just like when the other MP was reading the petition filed on the Government with different and bogus casualty figures

-So Mr. Ade, I suppose you were with him when he was ordering the rape, killings, and destruction of lives of Biafran children, men and women.

-Continue supporting evil, the curse and injustice will get to your household as well. You want to do “One Nigeria” with the blood of millions of innocent people including over one million children. Let posterity judge you.

The MPs are notable and not hidden... challenge them to proof or they should write a written apology for defamation of character, atleast it's for the benefit of the nation..

Here is a picture of babangida and the queen in same caravan... it makes no difference.. he led Nigeria for 9years, a few years after the independence, dinning with colonial masters should not mean integrity.

Sure Gowon has been hosted by the queen, then a pauper homosexual parliamentarian makes an allegation that occurred before he was born, and all Irredeemable Peasants of Biafra claim it is true? Because they want to blame Gowon for Odumegwu Ojukwu’s misadventure with their grand parents lives? After that the Hypocrite ran away & lived to an old age, mumus will die for their stupidity.

The MP obviously speaks with records, Gowon should challenge those records or sue on a personal basis for defamation of character..

Dont you have the EFCC, ICPC, CCB, Presidency on Dieziani anymore?... if you cannot come up with a conclusion, then maybe we can ask the UK for records same way we could not find that of Gowon for 45years..

That does not change the fact that Gowon is the biggest thief in Nigeria.

This 'Cancel culture' that seeks to silence people for expressing unpopular views (even if such views are right) seems to be gaining ground in this country and that's absolute nonsense. These people should realize that Adesina has as much right to free speech as they do. They should stop trying to impose/bully their narrative on others.

Show the certified true copy of the records? I hearsay is inadmissible in court, below is a link of the Brits welcoming Theophillus Danjuma at a time after this your baseless misconstrued allegation was imagined to have occurred, yet the useless British were still supporting that same corrupt military they say stole half the Central Bank? Ipob is an ideology of mumurism.

“Some people would remember when Gen. Gowon left with half the central bank and moved to London, SO IT IS SAID”

Above is exactly what the MP said. So, where is the fvcking record? How can “so it is said” means speaking with record? Gossip record or what?
The MP knows that he was only regurgitating beer parlor gossip and nothing factual. That’s why he added “so it is said”.
