''Nobody is Under Probe Even Dr. Jonathan'' - Presidency

By
The Presidency has revealed that nobody is currently under probe.
The revelation was made by President Muhammadu Buhari's Senior Special Adviser on media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu during an interview session with VANGUARD.

He said, ''Let me say that officially, nobody is under probe even Dr. Jonathan. People should not make mistakes about the fact that what is going on are routine investigations. These are matters that the president has found on the table.
''So, there is nothing like a probe. If Jonathan will be probed, you would have heard of, may be, an administrative panel of enquiry or Judicial Panel of Enquiry. But it hasn’t come to that. These are matters of routine engagements of due process of law and order.
On when the probes will begin, Shehu said,''I don’t know if there will be probe eventually. The president will determine that. I am not permitted to say that now. But as it is now, matters are rising from the briefings the president is getting, from handing over, matters he met on the table. The president has the right to ask questions and that is what he is doing''.
