Jonathan’s aide pleads, says ‘Please Buhari,do not touch my Bank account ‘


Do not touch my Bank account,Jonathan’s aide Mr. KingsleyKuku crying” from US hospital
The Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta, Mr. Kingsley Kuku has pleaded with Buhari anti-corruption agencies not to freeze his account because it is meant for charity organisation and not personal account, Keketobou Care Foundation, which he has utilized to help the poor in the society

Kuku, who spoke in a telephone interview with Vanguard from United States in his hospital bed on Sunday, said there was no public fund in the charity account,the organisation has helped to give succour to indigenous students, women and men over time.

He said before now, he had used his personal earnings and other donations by well-wishers to fund the account to give enough funds for buying JAMB forms for poor indigenes of Ondo State and offer support to poor widows, women and traders in the state.

“I have always been using the Keketobou Care Foundation to help the poor and there is no evidence that the account has ever been funded with government money, as the records would show,” Kuku said.
“He described as unfortunate any attempt by the EFCC or any other anti-craft agency to flag the account, saying that it was a politically motivated move to implicate him and others who work with Jonathan.

Kuk said while he was open and ready for investigation by the anti-graft agencies, it was wrong for anyone to try to cook up malicious and politically motivated issues to smear his hard-earned reputation in a bid to suit predetermined goal.

Kuku said: “Keketobou Foundation has only 720,484.00 balance as at today. The proceeds of my published and launched book “Remaking the Niger Delta: went in there for charity purposes as a public officer.

“It gave free JAMB forms to applicants, financial/material support to the aged, widows and the physically challenged and helped in the local rehabilitation of walkways and drainages in my birth-place/town, Arogbo, Ondo State in the determined spirit to give back to my final place of return in life.
“The publication is false, untrue, malicious and politically motivated to smear my hard-earned reputation. What on earth links my face to the alleged story about NIMASA?

“It’s still all part of the anti-Jonathan onslaught. I am open to investigation as a public officer but ongoing distortion by agencies and some section of media creates in the heart of it all suspicion of witch-hunt and bad politics.

“I hope no desperate elements would deposit illicit funds into the Foundation’s account to implicate her because the full details of the account from opening to date are with us.
“Again, what links this foundation to their so-called alleged sleaze of billions and phantom security claims? I sincerely smell a rat. Finally, it’s not my account but a foundation’s account,” Kuku claimed.
