‘Retire quietly or we open the Pandora box’- VON DG slams ex-president Jonathan (Details, pics)
Coming after ex-President Goodluck Jonathan talked about an alleged hypocrisy in Buhari’s government and how he has failed woefully to deliver his promises, Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu in an interview, told Jonathan to refrain from making comments about the Buhari-led Government or see them expose open the pandora box containing all the illicit activities that were carried out in his administration.
In a chat with The Nation, Okechukwu said;
“Mr President was very clear that the man left almost an empty treasury, consequent unpinned which we have a huge infrastructure deficit. The world knows that almost all infrastructure that Jonathan inherited went bad. We are challenging him to show us one project he completed. Is it the Green Field refineries. He told us on May 13, 2010, that he is going g to build three greenfield refineries at $23 billion. The contract was awarded to the Chinese under Public Private Partnership. One was to be located in Bayelsa, one in Lagos and the other in Kogi state.
“We challenge him to show us the three greenfield refineries or tell us where the money he voted for the project is. I am talking at a time when our Excess Crude Account was in the excess of short $17 billion. The Chinese came back and told him they were going to contribute about 80 percent of the three greenfield refineries. We have not seen any of them.
