Olisa Metuh, former
National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has
insisted that he never collected any money from the Office of the National
Security Adviser (NSA), under the leadership of Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd).
Metuh is currently facing
corruption charges for allegedly receiving the sum of N400m from Dasuki during
the build up to the 2015 general election.
Speaking on Channels
Television, the former PDP spokesperson said he had never been to the office of
the NSA and has no relationship with Dasuki.
According to Metuh, “I did
not collect any money from the National Security Adviser’s office. I have never
been to the former National Security Adviser’s office.
“I had no relationship with
the former National Security Adviser, I had a relationship with my President
who was the leader of my party.”
Metuh accused the All
Progressives Congress, APC-led government of witch-hunting its opponents
especially members of the PDP.
“This persecution is more
than that. They witch-hunt. It is not a fight against corruption. It is a fight
against political opponents.
“How can you call someone a
looter when he is still in court. How can you say someone stole when there is
no evidence about it? When you are saying that the money paid into his account
is an unlawful activity. You haven’t proven it. You have not established
anything. Maybe because you think you can manipulate the judiciary,” he said.
