Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has denied receiving N300million from David Lyon, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Bayelsa State.

In a statement, his spokesman, Ikechukwu Eze, said;

“We make bold to state that there is no vehicle in the possession of former President Jonathan given to him by the All Progressive Congress. This is an insufferable lie. If anyone on earth knows of such a vehicle, they should expose the particulars of the said vehicle to the public.”

“The claim by this group is, therefore, nothing but a fairy-tale scripted to tarnish the good reputation of the former President whom Nigerians and the rest of the world hold in very high esteem.”

“It is a poor script written with the intention of causing distrust and inciting Bayelsans against themselves.”

“What Bayelsa needs now is peace, unity and progress, and not this noxious orgy of mud-slinging and mischief-making.”

“As far as we are concerned, the Bayelsa elections have been won and lost at the polls and the courts; we therefore urge all groups to accept the transition in good faith.”
