The hope of the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (retd) to have former President Goodluck Jonathan to testify in his trial of the $2.1bn arms scandal has been dashed.
It was learnt that Jonathan has not indicated any interest in appearing as a defence witness or even make an appearance for any of his former aides.
Sources familiar with the case argued that the former President is neither an accused person nor a witness, and as such, he is not expected to appear or send a legal representative.
A close Jonathan’s associate, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the issue, asked, “Why should he appear? He (Jonathan) is not a party to the suit and we are aware that a few persons are desperate to humiliate our former President by dragging him into all this.”
“Their aim is to create tension and destabilize us. We will not give enemies of Nigeria the pleasure of destroying our nation.”
