Former minister of Information, Mr Labaran
Maku, said he would soon air his “views about everything that is going on” on
the $2.1bn arms deal scandal involving ex-National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo
Dasuki (retd).
Labaran Maku in the
same vein faulted the planned N17 billion airport project by Governor Tanko
Al-Makura of Nasarawa State, describing it as an avenue to steal and warned
commercial banks not to give N26billion loan to the governor.
“If the governor insists
on an airport, what Nasarawa State’s people need now is an airstrip, and not an
airport of N17 billion.
“I don’t want to
comment on this administration now because I was in the previous government as
minister of Information and our voice was all over the nation. Decency requires
that I keep quiet and let Nigerians hear other voices. That doesn’t mean I will
not say anything, but it is virtually too early for me as a former minister of
Information to begin to talk about what is going on at the moment.
“So it is not correct;
when you have spoken so long and people have heard your voice, you also
withdraw and hear others. I have my views about everything that is going on
now. When the time is due, when I have respected public decency, waited and
have heard some other Nigerians, I will make my views known.
“But for now, it is too
early for me to say anything. The processes that are going on are in the full
glare of Nigerians and what I will say is that the media should be very
careful. That’s my advice and I will not say anything else.
