Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has reacted to a claim that he left for London with half of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
The claim was made by Tom Tugendhat during a debate in the UK parliament on the EndSARS protests of last month.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Pidgin service, Gowon said that he gave Nigeria his best.
“What the MP said was just mere ridicule and I don’t know as to where he cooked up such statement. I served Nigeria as much as I could and my achievements during those years are available to everyone.”
He promised not to further speak on the issue because he believes those who know him well will come to his defense.
“I don’t want to talk over the matter since those who know me very well say that the MP’s statement is nothing but a mere fallacy,” he added.
