The ex-minister, reacting to the recently list of alleged looters released by Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, lamented… “I wish to make it abundantly clear that this is nonsensical and utterly shameful and I hereby reiterate the fact that I am totally innocent of any wrongdoing.”

“The Federal Government claims that I “looted” 800,000,000 naira from government coffers. This is false. I did not receive and neither was I ever given one kobo by any government official, government agency or government parastatal during President Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure.”

“The money that I received was given to me by the Director of Finance of the Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Mrs. Esther Nenadi Usman, before the election in 2015 and it was specifically for the conduct of the Presidential election.”

“I was Director of Media and Publicity of the Campaign Organisation and it was used specifically and solely for the running and conducting of the media and publicity aspect of the election.

“Meanwhile I reject the false label of “looter” and I hereby return it to sender. I also deny all the charges that have been levelled against me by the EFCC, I hereby restate my innocence and I shall continue to vigorously defend myself and my good family name in the court of law.”

For those who are not aware, Femi Fani-Kayode’s name is number 18 of the 24 individuals accused of having looted the treasury during the past administration. Lai Mohammed had released the list on Sunday April 1st, 2018 after he released the first part on Friday.
