We are of the view that the award (to P&ID) was unfairly, unjustifiably and illegally obtained. It had fraudulent undertones. - Abubakar Malami

#NewsNight
#ChannelsTV
Mr President has ordered an investigation, directing agencies of government, including the EFCC and Police among others, to look into the circumstances that led to the (P&ID) award. - Abubakar Malami

#NewsNight
#ChannelsTV
The investigation report has indeed proven to be cogent and potent in terms of establishing fraud, thought of deceit, suppression of facts and obtaining arbitral award on account of material suppression of facts. - Abubakar Malami

Right now, there exists over N150 billion judgment debt against the interest of the federal government, as at 2015, when this government came into being. - Abubakar Malami

#NewsNight
#ChannelsTV
Our national assets all over the globe are experiencing one threat or the order, targeted at enforcing these judgments. - Abubakar Malami

#NewsNight
#ChannelsTV
What we have tried to do is to profile those judgment debts, look into circumstances that gave rise to them, assess and analyse them from the possibilities of insider compromises, fraud and corrupt practices. - Abubakar Malami

#NewsNight
#ChannelsTV
We have a responsibility of striking a balance between genuine judgments and those that are beclouded with some elements of fraud and reasonable ground of suspicion of compromises. - Abubakar Malami

#ChannelsTV
This government is a product of the rule of law. Our constitution is categorical in the sustenance of a democratic process. - Abubakar Malami

#NewsNight
#ChannelsTV
My responsibility as the Attorney-General of the Federation is to accord superiority to public interest as against individual rights where there seems to be apparent conflict. - Abubakar Malami

#NewsNight
#ChannelsTV
You can’t expect the President to give assent to a bill that is inherently unconstitutional. - Abubakar Malami

#NewsNight
#ChannelsTV
In terms of democracy, we are doing well as a nation. Abubakar Malami

#ChannelsTV
Restructuring is a function of the constitution. - Abubakar Malami

Excerpts from the Book: My Transition Hour
By President Goodluck Jonathan (@GEJonathan)

The Presidential Election
"I knew what was coming the day before I called General Muhammadu Buhari. I had reports on the polls around the country."
"It was clear the results were not going to favour me. Apparently, there were many instances of irregularities. There were series of problems with card readers, resulting from widespread technical hitches leading to the non-uniform application throughout the country."
“For some inexplicable reason, INEC had been able to achieve near 100% distribution of Permanent Voter Card in the North, including the North East, which was under siege with the Boko Haram insurgency"
