GEJ wanted to buy our votes with $3m – CIO reveals secrets
Conference of Islamic Organisations (CIO) has revealed that some aides of former president Goodluck Jonathan approached them with $3 million in a bid to buy their votes.
Speaking at the 22nd National Islamic Training Programme (NITP), holding at Odosengolu, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, the coordinator of CIO, Imam Abudullahi Shuaib, said they rejected the "Religious fund" as it was called.
"It is not a secret, they came, offering us over three million dollars, we said no….It came through their proxies to us and we said no. And today we have been vindicated and it is not even part of our own culture to take bribe. We prefer to go hungry than to collect a bribe from somebody, that is unlawful." He said that some officials of the Jonathan-led administration (whose identities were not disclosed) approached the CIO with money but it rejected "because we know very well that it was a bait; it was a poison and you cannot eat and dine with the devil and think the devil will not come after you.
