‘You Are Going No Where’ – EFCC Rejects Metuh’s Application For Permission To Travel Abroad

A defence witness, Mr. Anthony Okeke, in the ongoing trial of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Olisa Metuh, told a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday that former President Goodluk Jonathan’s image was battered by the then opposition All Progressives Congress’ “smear campaign.”

The trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, also fixed Wednesday for ruling on an application by Metuh seeking an order of the court to release his passport which was seized as part of his bail condition to permit him to travel to the United Kingdom for medical treatment.
The EFCC also opposed Metuh’s application to proceed to the United Kingdom for a five-week medical trip.

Okeke, who mounted the witness box on Monday as the fourth defence witness, is a lawyer and a former Acting National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, who handed over to Metuh in September 2013.

He said the opposition party’s campaign dealt a great blow to Jonathan’s image so much that many consultants were needed to change public perception about the former President ahead of the 2015 presidential election.

The witness, who said he had served the PDP in many capacities at the state, zonal and national levels, said the opposition “cleverly” tagged Jonathan as an ineffective and unserious President.

He added that it was not surprising when he learnt that N400m was authorised by the then President for the countering of the opposition’s campaign.

Okeke, who was led in evidence by Metuh’ lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), and later cross-examined by Destra’s lawyer, Tochukwu Nwugbufor (SAN), said no money was passed to him when he took the office as acting National Publicity Secretary of the party on June 20, 2013.
