Goodluck Jonathan breaks silence, speaks on $2.1b arms purchase scandal

Former President Goodluck Jonathan, at his world press conference which held in Geneva, Switzerland, on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 spoke on a number of issues, including the alleged $2.1b arms purchase scam.

The event was part of activities organized by the Circle of Diplomats (Circle Diplomatique), Geneva to honour Jonathan.
GEJ, as he is fondly called, said he chose to keep quiet on the issue, because the case was before the courts.
In a series of Tweets obtained from his Twitter timeline, the former President hinted that his government actually bought weapons.
