I Never Faced N25 Billion Corruption Charge – Goje by Nobody: 6:30am On Jul 19, 2019 |
The senator representing Gombe Central Senatorial District, Danjuma Goje, has said at no time did he faced corruption charge totaling N25 billion. Mr Goje, a former governor of Gombe State, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja. The statement signed by Paul Erokoro, lawyer to the senator, said the claim was “inaccurate and untrue.” Mr Erokoro was reacting to recent reports in the media that corruption charge being faced by the senator were withdrawn following his decision to step down from the Senate president race in June. He insisted that the actual amount mentioned in the charge was N9 billion. “The so-called “N25b fraud” that has been bandied about in the media, never featured in the case. “The sum total of all the monies mentioned in the charge was about N8b. “Of that total, N5billion was a loan taken from Access Bank for completion of infrastructural projects such as the Gombe airport, waterworks, numerous roads, Gombe Jewel Hotels, schools, hospitals and rural electrification. “The bank testified in Court that the money was properly utilised for the projects. The EFCC investigators also confirmed to the Court that the projects were all completed.” On the N1 billion agricultural loan, he said the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had testified in court that the loan was utilised in full compliance with the bank’s loan conditions. “Other witnesses told the court that the governor never awarded any contract for the supply of food to Government House and Government Guest Houses during his tenure for the N1 billion alleged in the charge or for any other sum. “On the N1.6 billion for the supply of English Dictionaries for primary and secondary schools, the Court was told that Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) gave its approval and that the contract was advertised in two newspapers and that reputable book publishers and suppliers tendered and that State Universal Basic Education Board awarded the contract to the lowest bidder.” He said all the 19 counts of the charge around the above monetary issues collapsed during the trial. He said because the prosecution witnesses completely exonerated the defendants was why the 19 counts were all dismissed by the court, on the the ground of No Case submission. He added that the star witness of the Prosecution, a senior EFCC operative who headed the investigation, told the court that throughout their investigation, no money belonging to the Gombe State Government was traced to the Governor, his family members or associates. He said because of their embarrassing nature, the two counts of the charge were withdrawn by the Attorney-General of the Federation and not on political negotiation as being speculated.

There can never be an end to human want. Solomon the wealthiest king in the bible, after chasing 700wives, 300 girlfriends/babymamas and satisfying his curiosity still came to the conclusion 'all is vanity'. See Jesus is the answer for mans problem. Allow Him into your life today and vanity would be the least of your worries. Just let Jesus become Lord and King over your affairs. Remember He died for our sins and rose again that we might be able to live a new life in Him and conquer the power of sin. Just say this prayer. Lord Jesus. Forgive me for my wrong deeds of time past. I acknowledge my ways before have been sinful And acknowledge that You died and rose again to deliver me from this burden of sin. Cleans my heart Come into my life I confess you as Lord over my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Welcome pal to the new life. ............................................................................................ On this gombe guy. Well, this is Nigeria 13 Likes |

[/b]So stealing mere 9 billion shouldn't be penalised because you are an elite. This country is a big joke, and jungle justice is being melted out on people whom you and your likes frustrates to engaging in crimes.

Guess he has joined the stealing is not corruption crew but this is much worse. However, when all the heads of security are all of the same tribe, religion and speak Hausa Fulani in meetings just know that there's an agenda and a very evil one at that but God is more than them. All the integrity that has been somebody's selling point has evaporated like a can of fuel under the sun 10 Likes 1 Share |

Story for the gods. Who else has noticed Northern Elites using Southerners as their lawyers and spoke persons. My conclusion is they know that when it comes to brains it's in the South so they ensure they get the best, at this level they refuse to be nepotic but when it comes to heading government parastraters they remember their own people whom they usually refuse to employ on a personal level. Conclusion.. The best is good to serve them on a personal level but any Abo.ki can serve the government. Hypocrisy at it's peak. 1 Like |
