President Jonathan accounts for Defence Spending….


Think about this with all the objectivity you can summon, even rebut it, but with facts and figures.  


It is claimed: " Buhari spent close to $1b on the equipping of the armed forces in 20 short months when he was Head of State, whereas GEJ had spent around $360m on military hardware in 5 years as President. What this means is that out of N4.4 trillion naira budgeted for defense in the last 5 years GEJ could not account for N4.34 trillion. Even the N66 billion naira he spent in 5 years was spent on outdated tokunbo military hardware that other nations had discarded. The subsequent spending from the additional $1b approved by the NASS was a collosal waste. In an exclusive investigative report by Sahara Reporters backed by leaked invoices from the ministry of defense it was revealed that GEJ awarded himself and his cronies a $500 million contract which could have been used to purchase 40 units of modern US military weaponized attack helicopters instead what was purchased was just 6 helicopters which were not equipped with weapons to fight in modern warfare. Almost all the helicopters have either been grounded or have crashed because they are a mismatch for the purposes for which the military needed them. Your guess is as good as mine where the dollar and naira rain is coming from." Please watch this video of his recent interview.  https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10204300877057381
