P&ID: Let Nigerians know owner of verified account, Jonathan tells FG

May 13, 2020

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has challenged the Federal Government to tell Nigerians and the world the owner of the verified account in the United States of America, now that the court has granted its subpoena request. Jonathan, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Ikechukwu Eze, however noted errors in some online news reports on the matter, noting that the order by the New York federal judge, Lorna Schofield, was for the Nigerian government to verify if he (Jonathan) and other named persons, have bank accounts in America.

 

“The court did not grant access to the bank accounts of former President Jonathan, because the former president has no bank accounts in the United States or any other country in the world, either in his name or in the name of privies. “It is expedient to mention that the subpoena was approved several days ago.

 

“Consequently, we urge those who implemented the subpoena to tell Nigerians and the world whether or not they found any bank accounts in the name of former President Goodluck Jonathan,” the statement demanded. Jonathan recalled that when the news of the subpoena broke last month, he did not only restate the fact that he has no accounts in the United States but also urged the US authorities to grant Nigeria’s application by providing the requested bank records.

 

“For the avoidance of doubt, we will continue to reiterate that whether in or out of office, former President Jonathan does not have any property or bank account outside Nigeria,” the statement added. It also challenged any journalist, who might be interested, to seek for a Freedom of Information application to peruse the documents discovered by this subpoena. “This is important because Nigerians deserve to know the outcome of these investigations,” Jonathan added.

Let this Subpoena not end with Jonathan. It's time to have a glossary of all foreign accounts owned by Nigerians, past and present government officials at any capacity, in any guise of linkages through associates, family members etc.

Well, of course the government must publish the outcome of its findings but a clear conscience fears no accusation.

Thanks dear. They are always putting up red flags to divert people's attention from real issues on ground.
As far as am concerned, we are yet to have a leader in Nigeria who is ready to fight corruption head-on.
