Between himself, his Chief Security Officer and the former Petroluem
Minister, former President Goodluck Jonathan spent, in just one deal, a
princely $6.9 million dollars to buy three 40-feet mobile stages for use
during mass public speaking events, investigations have now revealed.
Federal
government investigators and security agencies say this is just one of
the tons of allegedly corrupt practices frequently engaged and condoned
under the presidency of the immediate past president.
Besides the
fact that the sum for the stages have been incredibly inflated
according to mobile stages industry experts, government investigators
say there is no evidence as yet that any stage was purchased at all.
While
the cost of mobile stages range in size and designs, only outlandish
rock star musicians in Europe and the U.S. spend hundreds of thousands
on their huge stages way bigger than the 40-feet stages. Even then,
those musicians and super stars would not pay over $2m per stage,
according to industry sources.
