The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, CACOL, has called on former First Lady, Patience Jonathan to come clean on the issue of her alleged corrupt enrichment.

CACOL made the call while lambasting a group of Niger Delta women who staged a solidarity march for Patience in Port-Harcourt yesterday.

The march involved hundreds of women in the state, who marched to the Rivers State Government house and was led by one Mrs Eunice Igwe over what they referred to as constant harassment of the former first lady.

In a press release signed and forwarded to DAILY POST by CACOL’s Executive Chairman, Debo Adeniran, the group insisted that the former First Lady must tell Nigerians and the entire world how she gathered her wealth.

CACOL said, “We as a centre that is totally opposed to corruption at any level of government and by any government official, no matter how highly placed or influential have always challenged the former first lady to come clean on the issue of her alleged corrupt enrichment.

“She owes Nigerians and the entire civilized world an explanation on:How she was able to build a hotel in Yenogoa, worth over N10b; how she earned over $20m and several other huge sums of money found in different bank accounts linked to her. Her explanation is necessary because wecan recall that she was just a career civil servant under theBayelsa state government while her husband held sway as the nation’s President.

“CACOL’s stand remains that for Corruption to be finally uprooted from our national life, no effort must be spared in the bid to recoup stolen wealth that has left most Nigerians pauperized and frustrated, no matter whose ox is gored. It is for this reason we are not only decrying a situation whereby those who siphoned our commonwealth directly or through proxy would arrange a rented crowd or blackmail the nation by calling on the Presidency and the International community to intervene or leash the EFCC from carrying the fight against corruption to its logical conclusion.

“The CACOL boss further stated: “Rather than appealing to sheer emotion and undue sentiment that gives the impression that since over 70% of the nation’s revenue comes from oil-most of which is obviously still derivable from the Niger Delta area- any indigene of the regionshould be free to steal in power, the correct approach should be to chastise their own for not living up to integrity standards by doing incalculable damage to the nation’s economy through entrenchment of a looting culture.

“The women solidarity marchers should also endeavor to cite other former first ladies involved in verifiable cases of corruption which the anti-graft agencies have treated as sacred cows, to prove their allegation of witch-hunting against Mrs Jonathan. Only by so doing would they prove to the entire world that they deserve being given any serious attention.”

This Debo Adeniean that has been compromised by d ruling govt using CACOL as a tool.

The hotel own even small.....make I no talk self.

That is very commendable from CACOL

Which hotel cost N10b?

Is she the owner of oriental hotel?

Same way Abacha got Billions and Buhari got millions also.

Afonja CACOL,why not first tell us how Thiefnuubu came to be the richest landlord in Africa just few years after being a drug pedlar in Chicago.
Why aren't you also asking how Obasanjo came about Bells University or Buratai, his Dubai houses?
Ndi ara.

she most certainly does...
Nigerians have for too long, glorified people with questionable wealth.

She will do that after Maryam Abacha tell us how she got the resources to build a university in Niger, and how Yusuf Buhari got money to buy an okada.

Really? Her mates have built universities. How come no one is asking

Buratai should also tell Nigerians how he got his Dubai properties.

All corrupts must be brought to book.

Take it or leave it, corruption has destroyed d fabrics of this nation, it has been the bane of our socia_economic and even religious problems, in a country where 80% of the people live on less than 2dollar a day,where there is no access to portable drinking water in most Niger delta host communities,nd this stealing is just a tip of the iceberg of what we have lost collectively as a nation,
It breaks my heart how our youths upon hearing about corruption cases,first look at tribe,party,and even religion! Such a shame, and this re youths without basic education,all because of a corrupt system,hey go about spamming every thread,begging for stipends,ve never and might never travel out and seen d terrible effect of corruption on the nation and even on their psyche!I am painedxbecause if the hope of this nation lies on this youths! Then there is no hope! It all becomes business as usual! My thief is bigger than.your thief
