Obadiah Mailfia,a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and former Presidential candidate,has confirmed his statement which alleged that a northern governor was Commander of Boko Haram Terrorists group.
Mailafia made this known in Jos the Plateau State Capital while clarifying a segment of the interview he granted that went viral.
He said” That interview which was meant for an Fm radio station, someone just picked the clip,a small section of the 55 minutes broadcast and put it on social media, and it went very very far.all over the country, raising a lot of concerns.”
” What I want to say is that yes all of those words were made by me.But you know if the whole 55 minutes interview was played out, the context of what I said in the small clip that went viral would have become clearer.This is not the time to disown what I said. “
“Yes I was privy to some very sensitive information which all statemen are entitled to have by virtue of our public roles.Iknow that I should have taken more care to corroborate some of the information that I received.but perhaps some of it could corroborate and uncorroborable, I was in no position to follow them to their camps and to corroborate what was going on.But I am not a sensationalist,Iam an economist,a central banker,”
