Ex- President Jonathan raises alarm over intentions to tarnish his image (Vanguard)

Former Nigerian President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has raised an alarm that certain faceless and identified persons have sworn to malign his name. Jonathan, who disclosed this through his facebook account, said that truth will surely prevail. Recall that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had disclosed last week that ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration spent only N153 billion on infrastructure in the three years preceding 2014,  N150 billion was shared in just two weeks before 2015 elections. “In one single transaction, a few weeks to the 2015 elections, sums of a $100,289 million were just frittered away by a few.
