Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to an allegation by the National Chairman of People’s Democratic (PDP), Ali Modu Sheriff that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, gave him N50 million to organise the recent stakeholders meeting in Abuja.
Jonathan who spoke through his media aide, Ikechukwu Eze, dismissed Sheriff’s claim and described it as untrue.
Jonathan explained that he intervened in the PDP crisis because of his genuine commitment to bring about peace in the party that made him president.
Eze said: “I don’t think anybody will believe that Jonathan collected money from anybody to organise the meeting. It was out of his genuine concern to bring peace to the party.
“He has been meeting with members of the party; he met with Sheriff severally, he also met with Makarfi severally. He met with the governors.
“I don’t see any reason for anybody to say that Jonathan collected money from anybody to organise the stakeholders conference”.
