Nobody distributed any envelope after the meeting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe meeting was held in the Villa, a public place. After the meeting, the president left and the parents as well as the children went into their buses in the presence of the media. There was no time after the meeting when envelopes were distributed or money was given.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe president is not part of and will never do anything to bribe anybody. This issue is not about money. We\u2019re talking about human lives here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe allegation is completely wild. What they\u2019re claiming is unknown to the president. Whoever is claiming it should prove it because no such thing happened. The commitment of the president is to get the girls back safely. It is not about bribing anybody.<\/p>\n<div style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is a very serious matter and we\u2019ll like to appeal to those who want to play politics with it, using all kinds of tricks to ridicule the efforts of the administration, to always appeal to their individual conscience and realize that what we\u2019re dealing with here is a very serious matter and not a matter of mischief\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">DailyPost recalls that the parents of the girls had in a Hausa radio program on Tuesday confirmed the report, accusing their community leaders of swindling them in the way the money was shared. They said their leaders were making fortunes out of their misfortunes. The confirmation has further put to doubt the denial by Jonathan\u2019s Spokesman, Abati.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Goodluck Jonathan, has said his government did not \u00a0doled out N100M cash to parents of the Chibok schoolgirls after his meeting with them last Tuesday.
