29
00:02:29,120 –> 00:02:34,879
three general election. Gustafat told the
Courtine never came across anything about the transaction

30
00:02:35,080 –> 00:02:38,080
while he was seven as the Secretary
into the Government of the Federation until he

31
00:02:38,199 –> 00:02:43,840
left office. My Lord, all
through my years in service at my capacity,

32
00:02:44,080 –> 00:02:49,120
I never came across such a documents. Having served for five years several

33
00:02:49,199 –> 00:02:52,840
months, I can say this document
did not emanate from the office of the

34
00:02:52,879 –> 00:02:59,080
President, he said, continuing,
Mustafa faulted the correspondent emefhile claim came from

35
00:02:59,120 –> 00:03:02,639
the President of p with the reference
number, pointing out that wants a correspondence

36
00:03:02,759 –> 00:03:07,840
has the President Seal. There is
no need for a reference number because the

37
00:03:07,879 –> 00:03:12,159
Seal is the authority. I have
looked at its freed its and the Federal

38
00:03:12,280 –> 00:03:17,039
Executive Council. Decisions are not transmitted
by letters, go through extracts after confusions

39
00:03:17,039 –> 00:03:22,719
were adopted. My Lord, I
am a custodian of all records. Therefore

40
00:03:22,919 –> 00:03:25,840
the President cannot give me the records. And in all my years in service,

41
00:03:27,120 –> 00:03:30,919
I have never had the term special
appropriation provision that is referred to here.

42
00:03:31,759 –> 00:03:36,719
In all the correspondences I have received
from my principle, it has never

43
00:03:36,879 –> 00:03:40,120
ended with pleas at self the assurance
of my highest regard. I am his

44
00:03:40,240 –> 00:03:45,680
subordinates. So nothing of such ruod
emanettes. And lastly, by love,

45
00:03:45,800 –> 00:03:51,000
the Nigerian government has nothing to do
with financing foreign observers. I know for

46
00:03:51,080 –> 00:03:54,479
a fact because I managed to elections. So the responsibility of such lives with

47
00:03:54,599 –> 00:04:00,520
Ainek, he said, as by
the Prosecution Council route in yeared Appau Sam

48
00:04:00,680 –> 00:04:04,759
in respect of Exhibit did D seven
which sets that it was one hundred and

49
00:04:04,840 –> 00:04:10,080
eighty seven fake meetings that held in
the etting of January twenty twenty three,

50
00:04:10,319 –> 00:04:14,599
Mustaffer affmed that effect meeting held,
but it was not one hundred and eighty

51
00:04:14,680 –> 00:04:18,519
seven session, but rather first meeting
of the year, because it was January,

52
00:04:18,879 –> 00:04:21,600
my Lord, there was a meeting
and it was the first meeting,

53
00:04:21,680 –> 00:04:26,879
not one hundred and eighty seven.
It was the first meeting of the year,

54
00:04:27,319 –> 00:04:30,160
my Lord. All fake meetings are
normally presided over by the president or

55
00:04:30,240 –> 00:04:34,439
vice presidents. In the case of
the eetting of January, it was the

56
00:04:34,519 –> 00:04:40,600
vice president that presided over the meeting
because the President was not around. My

57
00:04:40,800 –> 00:04:44,079
role was to prepare the agenda of
the meeting, and on that day there

58
00:04:44,160 –> 00:04:46,800
was a sixteen point agenda, and
there was no agenda that had to do

59
00:04:46,920 –> 00:04:50,600
with foreign observers. So it did
not appear on the feck of the etting

60
00:04:50,720 –> 00:04:55,639
of January. There was no such
approval or anything else from the FECh.

61
00:04:55,839 –> 00:05:00,240
He said, asked whether the letter
for the approval of the money amanetted from

62
00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:04,120
his office mustaff had denied any knowledge
regarding it, my lord, to the

63
00:05:04,160 –> 00:05:08,759
best of my knowledge, that letter
did not emanate from my office, not

64
00:05:08,920 –> 00:05:12,480
to talk of signing it. I
am saying it was not from me for

65
00:05:12,600 –> 00:05:15,759
the following reasons. I was not
private to the oppressions of CBN, so

66
00:05:15,879 –> 00:05:20,600
I cannot write to the governor or
the director. Secondly, the heading is

67
00:05:20,639 –> 00:05:27,240
defective because it reads reference for election
observers. It’s pretty supposed that there were

68
00:05:27,279 –> 00:05:30,399
previous correspondences. When you sayah,
so, my lord, it is not

69
00:05:30,439 –> 00:05:35,639
true because it does not carry any
fair approval and finally there was a reference

70
00:05:35,680 –> 00:05:40,879
at the end of the letter.
He said Mustafa for that. So because

71
00:05:40,920 –> 00:05:44,399
that he was not aware of any
special task for and had no idea who

72
00:05:44,439 –> 00:05:48,040
Jibrilla Gubaka is. I wish to
set my Lord that I am not aware

73
00:05:48,079 –> 00:05:54,000
of any special task for and I
do not know one Jibrilla Bubaka principal officer

74
00:05:54,120 –> 00:05:58,079
one who was elected as the coordinator
of this task force. So I did

75
00:05:58,120 –> 00:06:03,040
not introduce any Abubaka ton and governor, he said. While on cross examination,

76
00:06:03,480 –> 00:06:09,600
Matthew Booker Sam asked whether Mustafa received
any amounts from the money. He

77
00:06:09,680 –> 00:06:13,279
said he did not receive a single
dollar when he was seven and when he

78
00:06:13,360 –> 00:06:17,480
left office. Ustaff had a nine
knowledge of knowing a Bubaka, stressing that

79
00:06:17,560 –> 00:06:21,519
he had never met him nor did
he ever work for him. He father

80
00:06:21,639 –> 00:06:26,439
said that he knew about the scandal
on social media when it was stated that

81
00:06:26,519 –> 00:06:30,800
the defendant and himself connimed to steal
the huge amount of money and for him

82
00:06:30,839 –> 00:06:33,800
to protect and redeem his image and
integrity before the world. He then made

83
00:06:33,800 –> 00:06:39,360
a press with his exonerating himself and
at the same time and correct further investigation

84
00:06:39,560 –> 00:06:44,720
on getting to the roots of the
matter after his testimony, Justice Muazzo adjoined

85
00:06:44,720 –> 00:06:47,920
the matter till seven eleven and the
twenty fifth of March twenty twenty fourth for

86
00:06:48,040 –> 00:06:55,920
continuation of prior Osady Greendy. The
needs in a morment is our way.
