#DasukiGate: Femi Adesina Responds to Allegations of Receiving N50 Million

Femi Adesina has finally responded to strong allegations that he financially benefited from the alleged arms deal scam involving former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on Wednesday said the Nigerian Guild of Editors will respond to allegations made against him by Chairman and editor-in-chief of Thisday newspaper, Nduka Obaigbena.

Obaigbena, who is also the President of the Newspapers Propriators Association of Nigeria (NPAN) had on Monday revealed that the Nigerian Guild of Editors collected N50 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser, in a further widening of the arms purchase scandal.

Since the revelation was made, some Nigerians have been demanding the resignation and interrogation of Adesina , who was the president of the Guild when the payment was allegedly made.

But speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Adesina said the guild will be in the best position to respond to Obaigbena’s claim.
 

“Please direct all questions to the Nigerian Guild of Editors. But I believe the body will soon issue a statement on what actually transpired” he said.
