Presidential jet not used to ferry Dokubo to Abuja – Abati

The special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Dr Reuben Abati has denied reports that a presidential jet was
used to bring Asari Dokubo to Abuja after he was released by
Benin Republic police.

In an interview in Abuja yesterday, Dr Abati said "There is
no truth in the report that a presidential jet was used to
convey Asari Dokubo. Again, what we see here is the attempt
by people to just tell lies and try to package lies as the truth.

"I have read some reports in which they said "unconfirmed
reports indicate.." Nobody has been able to say anything
categorically and I think it is very sad that people, in an
attempt to just play politics with anything at all, will start
packaging lies hoping that gullible persons will believe them.

"An aircraft is not a ghost in the air. The movement of any
aircraft is properly documented and people will see the
aircraft if it lands anywhere, particularly the presidential
aircraft.

"Nobody can come up with any evidence that any presidential
jet was sent to Benin Republic. I can tell you that President
Jonathan did not send any presidential jet to Benin Republic.

"Or has Asari Dokubo told anybody that he was brought to
Nigeria in a presidential jet? So what is this all about?
Blackmail and mischief obviously" he said.
