Vice President Jonathan Bows To Pressure, Declares N.2Billion In Assets 



VP Goodluck Jonathan  
The Vice president Goodluck Jonathan yesterday capitulated to public pressure over the public declaration of his assets as done by his boss, President Umaru Yaradua as he made public his assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau. 

The assets which were made public by the senior Special Assistant to the Vice president on Media and Public Affairs, Ima Niboro indicates that the value of the Vice president total assets and cash in banks stands at N295,304,420. 

This is about N561, 148,472 less than the assets declare by President Umaru Yar’Adua who declared his total assets to be at the value of N856,452,892. 

Mr. Iniboro said the vice president’s decision to make public his assets declaration was to show that ‘there is nothing to hide’. 

He added that the vice president is ‘a firm believer in the rule of law and this has guided his conduct in office through the years. 

“It is this belief that also guided his position that having declared his assets for a total of seven times, there was no point in going further to publish the declaration” he noted 

The vice president’s aide regretted that the position of the vice president not to make public his assets declaration had ‘generated an unfortunate storm, which is not only distractive but also quite unnecessary. We are worried that some newspapers and citizens we hold in high esteem have joined the fray. 

“This merely shows that in the affairs of man, there comes a time when even the law must take a second place and the public mood must define our actions. To The Vice president, this is such a time, hence the choice to send you a copy of his declaration for publication” he said.

How many other political officers worth in 2007 do you know or can you also "just stumble on"
I think that would be a nice starting point as the public asset declaration concerns all elected public servants from the LGA councillor and above.
Such IGNORANCE and NEGLECT by us of these diverse PILLARS of our democracy is why our leaders looters & their kids run to Dubai & other places to enjoy what they have DEPRIVED us from having, preferring to STEAL our money instead

For how much longer shall we remain CLUELESS about these very relevant issues of governance

Am sure his worth will have skyrocket now, corruption is his slogan since he became president of this federal republic

If I hear...

Lemme guess ... $99,735,900,000

bro the issue is that this was published publicly in 2007..but every year our elected public office holders declare their assets to the code of conduct office..

Investigative journalists should source them and vet them...me im just another guy minding my own business

Are you sure they are supposed to declare publicly their assets every year or when they are leaving office at the end of their mandate/tenure

It is OUR business and the earlier more of us realise and increase pressure on these looters parading as leaders the better for us and our society.
That is what oyinbos do and their societies are so much better we are going there by hook & crook to stay in socio-economic EXILE. Oyinbo nor get two heads oh!

Assuming we take him by his words as contained in the excerpts below.

It is simple to calculate as every ambiguity to extra source of bloated (exaggerated) assets and acquisition of wealth are now out of question.

Here are his recent declaration in defence of his integrity and claims of financial incorruptibility

President Jonathan has never been a businessman and all his income since 1999 till date has been from the emoluments he earned from the offices he has held.

He said that “there has been no significant variation in the totality of his personal assets as contained in his last declaration to the Nigerian Code of. Conduct Bureau in 2011 which, as can be verified.

“We categorically assert that there is no factual basis for ranking President Jonathan as the sixth richest African Head of State with a net worth of about $100 million U.S. Dollars.

“As is well known, President Jonathan has never been a businessman or entrepreneur, but a life-long public servant. The President has held public office since 1999 and has regularly declared his assets as required by Nigerian laws. He has had no personal income since 1999 other than his official remuneration as deputy governor, governor, vice president, acting president and president which are matters of public record.

“The   clear and unacceptable imputation of the claim that President Jonathan is now worth about $100 million is that the President has corruptly enriched himself while in office which is certainly not the case.
