Goodluck Jonathan has denied allegations by the Presidency that government officials loyal to him reinstated the embattled ex-chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina.
The former president, who spoke through his media, Ikechukwu Eze, described the claim as funny.
He said, “It is ridiculous to say that Jonathan’s loyalists brought Maina back into service. Is it his loyalists that are in government? Somebody who has left office over two years, his loyalists still brought in a fugitive to power? It is laughable.
“Is it his loyalists that also promoted him and made him an acting director from the position of an assistant director? These are the questions they should answer.
“It is funny. It doesn’t make any sense. Is it Jonathan’s men that reinstated him into office, wrote a letter to him and asked him to return to work?
