Boko Haram: Why US refused to sell arms to Jonathan -- Activist
2016-01-29
[VANGUARDNGR] Mr. Smart Ajaja, a Nigerian rights activist, based in the United States of America, ‎ yesterday, said the refusal of former President Goodluck Jonathan
... 14th President of Nigeria. He was Governor of Bayelsa State from 9 December 2005 to 28 May 2007, and was sworn in as Vice President on 29 May 2007. Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau.Other than that he's pretty useless as the Boko Haram debacle shows..
to probe alleged multi-million dollars allegedly found in one the nation's service chiefs, during his tenure was the reason America refused to sell arms to his administration.

Ajaja, who gave insight into how some persons he described as very vulnerable Nigerians abroad serve as fronts to looters of the country's treasury,said the US govt, which uncovered the money, gave Jonathan term upon which he could get its support.

He said Jonathan refusal to probe a service chief, who he did not name, resulted to the refusal of American government to sell arms to his government.

Ajaja said although some volunteers among the diasporans were willing to assist President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government to further identify some of the looted funds, the government should do a lot more to block movement of physical cash out of the country.

The activist noted that the corrupt persons could not have transferred most of the looted monies abroad without help of some diasporans‎ but observed that the Bank Verification Number (BVN) policy introduced by the Cenral Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to a great extent, assited in identifying the looted funds.

He urged the federal government to create access to opportunities for the citizens to whip up patriotism and reduce the current incident of terrorism in the country.

He said, "If the government can't monitor the movement of physical cash out of Nigeria, there is nothing we can do from there because what they do is they have agents they use to transfer these monies out, to put them in banks.
