Jonathan’s government still owe me N24m for printing – Printer

The Managing Director of Paste Poster Company Limited , Mr. Olusegun Idowu , says his company is still being owed N24 m for the printing of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan ’ s campaign posters for the 2015 presidential election.

The N24 m , Idowu said , was part of a total of N54 m poster pasting and consultancy jobs that his company did for the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation in the build-up to the last general elections .

Idowu said his company was paid N30 m cash in tranches of N6 m and N24 m for consultancy and printing of the ex-President ’s campaign posters , while another N24 m remained unpaid till date.

The media consultant stated this on Wednesday when he appeared before the Federal High Court in Lagos , where the then Director of Media and Publicity of the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode , is being prosecuted for an alleged fraud of N4. 9bn .

Standing trial along with Fani-Kayode for the alleged fraud relating to Jonathan ’ s campaign , is a former Minister of State for Finance , Nenadi Usman.

The third and fourth defendants in the case are one Danjuma Yusuf and a company, Joint Trust Dimensions Limited.

The defendants were arraigned before Justice Rilwan Aikawa on 17 counts bordering on conspiracy , unlawful retention of proceeds of theft and money laundering .

They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges .
