Former President Goodluck Jonathan has denied offering $5million bribe to the Lagos state All Progressive Congress (APC) running mate, Mr Obafemi Hamzat, who had claimed that he rejected the gesture from the former president during the 2015 election.
Speaking through a statement issued by Ikechukwu Eze, his media adviser, in Abuja on Sunday, Jonathan said: “there is no better way to respond to this frivolous claim than to quickly dismiss it as a blatant lie apparently concocted by a wannabe politician desperate for votes in a campaign season.”
While noting that it “in the first place this character is an obscure individual who in 2015 had neither a recognizable name nor political clout,” the statement said: “The point has to be clearly made that former President Jonathan has never met this man who was obviously not relevant in the national politics of 2015, let alone seek to offer him bribe.
“If the former President did not offer anyone bribe, having clearly acquitted himself as a man who does not believe in desperate politics, how on earth could he have sought to compromise an individual he didn’t even know and who obviously had no means of helping him politically?
“Assuming anybody had $5 million dollars to spend to better his political fortune as Mr Hamzat claimed, why seek to waste it on a man who was just a commissioner prior to 2015, and whose best outing so far is to function as a hand-picked running mate to a governorship candidate in the forthcoming 2019 elections?
“His is obviously the antics of a desperate and dishonest politician seeking to apply subterfuge and outright lies, believing that such could boost his lowly image, win him public sympathy and possibly, votes.
“It is the action of people like Hamzat that conjures up in the minds of Nigerians the Biblical ‘Mark of the Beast’ to the effect that to be accepted in his party, one must be adept at telling lies.
AL SO READ: APC can’t win election in 2019, says Lamido
“If this is how Mr Hamzat wishes to anchor his own political doctrine on lies and name dropping, he should be reminded that those who follow this route do not go far either in politics or personal growth.
“This definitely should not be the character and colour of a person who wants to become a governor or deputy governor of a state, lest we lose all hope in the expectation that we have all it takes to rescue our country from the bleak future that stares it in the face.
“What we know about liars is that they always leave a loose end which readily exposes them for who they are. Otherwise, Mr Hamzat should have been bold enough to tell Nigerians where the money was presented to him and in whose presence the offer was made.
“We have always made the point that there should be a limit to these lies if we must make progress as a democratic nation.
“Nigerians are not fools. It is high time those in positions of responsibility stopped running this country on lies.”
APC are irresponsible liars
the apc governorship candidate and his deputy is having brain disease..
Thesame way Judas denied Jesus three times???
Stop the drama. Head to court for redress, if you are telling the truth
He is drunk Sir
When he was busy dishing out dollars in Lagos, how will he remember those who he was greasing their palm. Ogogoro man
Alexander Aghedo we only heard people like you here on facebook.
But truly that Hamzat dey craze.Who was he before now to have been given bribe by Jonathan.
Hello, is somebody talking
Jonathan don’t even know that one, he is seeking importance
Alexander or whatever he is bearing is high on codein or tramadol
Alexander Aghedo shame on you. Useless and stupid comment.
Even me I rejected $20 million from GEJ, that 5 is too small sef. Monkey talk
Sir they are specialist in lies that’s what they know how to do best
pdp people used this man’s head like sewing machine well well.
Why talking to that lunatic does he look normal to you
Tell ur Lawyers to take actions if ……
Atiku has taken over the Dollars game
Dear Jonathan, don’t answer that clown he wants to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.Does he look like someone that has seen that type of money before, he no go faint
This is the best clap back to end the year 2018 ??? Bad guy GEJ ??
Animal spotted here,apc looted your brain
A former president being indicted publicly of offering a bribe $5m, instead he is making cheap comment, rather than head to court. So shocking.
Kunle D Blow which court dey Nigeria. Hamzat go see that kind of money and he no go take am. I love this lie lie people
Hamzat was too irrelevant to bribe when Goodluck Jonathan Was in power.
Don’t mind the yorubastard called hamzat looking for recognition
Godwin Bassey don’t mind this lie lie propaganda people. They dey Don see another propaganda story. Tmrrow they will form another one
$5m????….this lie too heavy “original”
Ur reply r always authentic and verbalious.
Thank u sir.
GEJ must be an important person o! Since he left power for power seekers yet dey have not stop talking abt him. Maybe GEJ padlock de power seat and left wit de keys. Make una Jona alone o
I believe you 200%
Taiwo Olubodun do you know the meaning of indictment?
Pls return your school fees to your parents and knock your empty skull 7 times.
Lucky Bora, please we have courts and there are a fee incorruptible Judges who would dispense justice, without sentiments.
How would he be known to you when you have damaged your brain with excess alcoholic beverages
Hamzat obviously is a big fool… Jonathan isn’t on your animal level.. Ogogoro is south south drink just like burukutu and others from other geopolitical zones… Any son of ashawo can talk any nonsense.
Jonathan tried to bribe him as what? INEC chairman?
Otokpa C. Otokpa am sure your understanding of indictment is special panel report.
Ibekwe Spinoza Nonyerem another animal spotted, you are the one dat is brain dead because u don know how much is $5 million

May be you drunk to stupor sir can’t u remember the time and location but definitely u relocated to Lagos then and dollarising any creatures on sight

He is of no consequence
What was the bribe for?
Don’t mind him, he is drunker
Taiwo Olubodun
Your generation will not prosper when you vent and bent on destroying people’s character
Your type always end up being killed through a mere motor accident
Hams at for God sake dat is Politic
Okezie Okiza when Jonathan goes to court , what the bribe is meant for will be public knowledge, just like the bribe is public knowledge now.
What was the bribe for. Nobody has answered that, even Hamzat himself
All these low lives without a worthwhile parental training.
No don’t mind him,he want to be popular by claimed that former President gave him bribe. No problem continue election is around the corner
This denial is very loud… GEJ just denied Hamzat’s existence…. Too much!
Ibekwe Spinoza Nonyerem ….u might be a product of, we where, were, were where today,from ur comment.
Nothing was ever known to him, the reason Nigeria was sucked dry under him. Not surprised.
Otokpa_C._Otokpa what do expect from a man who has used ewedu to wash away his sense of reasoning..??
Even with his alcoholism, he is still greater than anybody you can ever imagine in your entire kindred, village and state.
That is lies he tell tinubu to give him the deputy
Yorubas are political prostitutes
Idiot
Ibekwe Spinoza Nonyerem, your heart is sick, please do well to go to hospital to save yourself.
Court ?⚖️ for ni o jare?
Which court? The one buhari disobey and disregard its verdict?
Please be reasonable for once stop exhibiting your fooliness here.
Taiwo Olubodun your sense no complete.
Taiwo or taiwowor you have lost your memory I sorry for you bcos you are lost I pray for you may God by his mercy deliver you from every spirit of cobwebs
Dr. Jonathan is better off than ur father but u called him ogogoro of which u can’t call ur useles father same! I pity u
Bash Kano …we were, where were product spotted.. Drink and tramadol, lizard feaces and sniffing of toilet, which is better
Ibekwe Spinoza Nonyerem,I pity the day u were born.Where is ur home training, if u had any?Well,I don’t blame u, because sense is not common. Don’t forget, that what goes around,comes around.
THE ESTATE AT NO. 9 UDO UDOMA STREET, ASOKORO, ABUJA
Mahmoud Abacha, Mohammed Abacha , Gumsu Abacha were all children of Late General Sani Abacha .
Mohammed went to Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and never owned a car while he was in school .
Mahmoud went to University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) and never owned a car nor even lived an ostentatious life style .
I don’t know much about Gumsu but I know she wasn’t as wild as she is now then .
Their father would have none of that in his house , regardless that he was C-in-C . He was a strict disciplinarian.
I know two persons who are both alive today who were close to the boys .
Mohammed would ask the first one whom I shall I refer to as “Dan” to lend him his father’s car to go for a spin in town then. Everyone wondered if he was really the son of the C-in-C
The other one , I’d refer to as “Arab” would remind you that Mahmoud was always living like a normal student and people often wondered if he was really telling the truth about him being the son of the C-in-C .
Now compare this to the story of Yusuf , no known business or source of income but can afford a $157,000 Harley-Davidson bike ? Son of the world’s most self-acclaimed disciplinarian ?
These things don’t add up at all.
In the end , it is important to remind you that we did say that the myth called Muhammadu Buhari would eventually be demystified .
Slowly, it’s showing .
Maybe one day I’d tell you about an estate in the heart of Asokoro, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria owned by the same man and yet some creatures sold him as a “poor man” to Nigerians
~ Malik Shabbazz Abdulmalik, wrote this piece…
To which I simply replied:
The Estate you refer to is at No. 9, Udo Udoma Street, in Asokoro, Abuja, Owned by Muhammadu Buhari, which he built with illegal proceeds of Corruption from his days as PTF Chairman during the Abacha period!
By Gboyega Adejumo
When I saw the headline that Jonathan greased his(hamzat) palm of $5m this morning, I thought it was just a clickbait.
It’s only bird-brained will believe him.the lie is too cheap. Hamzat is trying to be popular and he knows there are dunce who believe every crooked thing by the APC. I suppose Jonathan should ignore him and not wrestle with pigs.
As an Igbo man and you dont have brain you must be a wasted sperm
This propaganda is getting dangerously outrageous. $5 million dollars to someone profusely irrelevant.
Ibekwe is a mad man. He is brain dead to have believed Hamzat. Who knows Hamzat. Ibekwe u are mad.
May God punishes you.Is your brain works more than Jonathan own?. Even thought Jonathan drinks all the drinks in Nigeria his brain is more better than your father and your brain put together. Enough of this insult.
Ibekwe Spinoza Nonyerem you are a very stupid man your generation will never get to where his family is again in this life
Ogogoro won’t let you know him
Please don’t waste your energy replying him. Nigerians are aware that whose ever that wants to be noticed always lie against you to gain cheap popularity.
TAIWO Olubodun. Why are people commenting rubbish. Must you go to court for everything. You are a mad man
When I notice a fat fool that engine entered his brain…I don’t disturb my self…
Sir, your lawyers should be suing this so called Hamzat for defamation.
Ibekwe , you will never see good thing in your life and your life will be full of miserable for insulting Jonathan
President offering a mere commissioner $5 Million bribe for what reason? Cheap lies.
You’re just a goon
Who was he in 2015,Hamzat ke?when Jagaban is still on board, Fashola made him known Leko wa
Kunle D Blow which court? The one buhari refuse to obey? Even hHamzat god Tinubu cannot tell anybody he will not accept 5 million dollars, bloody liar like Ganduje
That boy Hama-wetin they call him, does not deserve response. He is just a boy, exhibiting boyish exuberance
The only person any idiot want to use to make name is Jonathan, don’t mind them, he is just trying to attach his name to your sir
Ibekwe Spinoza Nonyerem shame on u,honour and favour will depart from u
Sir I don’t see any reason why replying that stupid man who can not even win APC GOR TICKETS, I’m very sure he can not even win election in his family house cause I know not everyone in his family will vote for him
Welldone bro I love your English you really impress me being a mallam but just that your sense of reasoning still remains ….if you know you know
Ibekwe Spinoza Nonyerem , this man is not worthy to live among human. Kai!
We know he is lying. Lying and blackmail is in the DNA of APC members.
Arioba Michael, Ibekwe needs psychiatric attention.
Finally I found the mad monkey that left yabaleft here!
Kunle, those kind of stories are told and believed by Fools.
We also rejected 50million dollars from buhari to dump Atiku.
Even ur entire generation don’t stand a chance.
It was fogotten issue indeed! Just forget becuz u always forget many things.
Dont answer the idiot! Even his boss could not have rejected such huge offer if any! He just wants to feel important, who is he for him to be offered $5m by mr president?? Always use your brain in addressing issue
True Sir….The Lunatic is only seeking attention.
???? Look at codeine and tramadol talking..
Who is this with cocroach brain??
SATAN relocated to Nigeria since 2015..
MISSION>> to learn how to Lie from APC.
REASON >> he noticed that APC has professional Lairs more than him.
U need help
I said it that Jonathan does not know this man, he is only trying to make himself relevant.
You will keep praying to attain his height in life….if a damaged brain can achieve such feat…. What are u waiting for to get your brain damaged with alcohol?
You were offered N1.8billion and you rejected it? Bloody liar seeking for cheap attention. Are you telling us that a whole president of our nation offered u bribe one on one, as in the governor of Lagos State or Senate president?
Elephants don’t identify with Rabbit’s.
Hamzat is a nobody when it comes to GEJ existence.
My good luck Jonathan may continues to be bless all the time, I have already told my friends all these black lie.
Ibekwe you lack home training you are course the day you were born and you will never attend his age ,remember Okadigbo and the great Zik so don’t insult your elder
Lucky Bora the Man just want to be recognised
Lop
The notorious and infamous APC lunatics cannot make such a ridiculous claim, let alone an anonymous bum. Anyway, it’s time to free Lagos from bondage
That’s APC fake news to tarnish Goodluck image, Tinubu is at work
In the next 1000yrs non of ur family members will be governor let alone president
When someone so highly in the society is malign, the right place to go is the court.Let us stop taking sides and mudslinging.
Tomorrow another person will come out to say Jonathan try to bribe him with 10billion dollars
I think the APC politicians are confused wherever they discovered the atrocities committed against the man called JONATHAN
Someone should just tell this man to keep quiet. It is not every allegation that needs a response…well, I guess it just goes to confirm how unfit for office he was.
Bash Kano
It’s possible the drunkard from Otuoke was drunk then not knowing he was dollarising everything on sight the same way Atikulooting is doing now
I wonder oooo…every riff raff want to use Gej name to be popular
Clever Ugori My brother cheap lies even though if he is relevant who we dash that idiot $5m
The man is a Lilliputian. Am sure he was a nobody during the last administration…APC of deceit and evil men.
Can’t differentiate between allegation and indictment, ignorant
Lolz that one no de pain me self my problem be say one girl way we de managed for this harmattan one mumu boi don give her belle.
Hilarious
Ogbunka Obi
Like seriously stupid commissioner
You’re Drucker when he enter toilet will deny that he didn’t enter toilet not today we know you people.
Timmy TJ Esan so you believed without asking for evidence because it is against PDP, but even when there is evidence against Gandollar you did not believe, who do this thing?
It’s true that you are Atm to many politicians, NGO and Organizations during your administration
Wisdom to reply appropriately is a virtue.
WHY IS APC SWORN LIARS AND EMBODIMENT OF ANYTHING EVIL DON’T THEY FEAR GOD THAT JUDGEMENT AWAITS LIARS AND EVIL DOERS?
Of course, he would deny it. Anyone will do the same…deny…deny
That’s your style of denial, any damage by PDP under your administration is unknown to you. Clueless President
Maybe that time this man was drunk. He could easily took someone else as Jonathan’s aid . It could even be one of cash they share on a regular basis. How can a president stoop so low to the extent of offering $5m to an errand boy like u. If there is an evidence to back it up, we are waiting or else stop fooling around
COULD A NIGERIAN POLITICIAN REJECT A $5M BRIBE? It is not possible. Hamzat is a rotten liar. He/She must be talking through his smelling anus
APC PEOPLE ?, LIE LIE PEOPLE. EVERY ONE OF THEM , INCLUDING THOSE ON THE STREETS .
That animal is already cutting his lying teeth in the A PC tradition of public deceit and bare face lies
