I Never Got N240 Million From ArmsGate- Linda Ikeji

Linda Ikeji has come out to defend herself after been linked with ArmsGate the biggest corruption scandal currently rocking Nigeria, making clear that she didn’t receive any N240 million pay out from ArmsGate.

Former National Security (NSA) Sambo Dasuki is accused of diverting at least $2 billion of funds meant for fighting Boko Haram into the re-election bid of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Some of the funds were reportedly used to ‘settle’ political figures and buy the mainstream media. A former aide to President Jonathan, Dudafa Waripamo, reportedly said a popular Lagos blogger was given N240 million as the last administration tried to win bloggers over and as soon as the new broke out, people began pointing fingers at Linda who recently bought a N600 million mansion in Banana Island Lagos but the blogger has come out to clear the air.

She said “So people are reacting and some actually believe it, That PDP or someone in the party gave me N240m? For what? Advert? This was why I didn’t want to get politics advert money in the first place o…and but then some of you advised that I do when I asked here and now see the gbege that I have entered…lol. But seriously for the record…no party registered or unregistered, no human being dead or alive gave me N240m for anything. The only advert I did for PDP was a page background take-over for former president Jonathan… and they asked for the space after I did a page background take-over for APC’s Akinwunmi Ambode. (I’m sure you all saw it). The two parties paid me same amount. I had a politics advert rate, which I sent to everyone who wanted to advertise on LIB! And it was a few millions.’ She ended her statement by saying “anyway, all these bad belle people looking for ways to bring a woman down…like I always say…you can’t! Except you’re mightier than God!”

Meanwhile Dasuki said everything he did in the ArmsGate was instructed by Jonathan and since Linda has denied been the blogger that was paid we shall continue to follow the story and see who the secret blogger would turn out to be.
