“There was no formal petition before them but
because of the general interest, they wanted to have him interviewed to know
where this was coming from. If someone comes up with a spurious allegation

circulated and it is very sad,” he added.
On why he said the story could be fabricated, the Jonathan said:

“Therefore I am not saying that a meeting in question was held or not held, but the issue of conspiring to rig, I said it was a fabrication,” he said.
