Jonathan Demands Apology Over Inclusion Of Name In List Of Richest African Presidents

President Jonathan’s name was included in a list published by
richestlifestyle.com as the sixth richest African President with
estimated net worth of 100 million dollars.
In a statement by the President’s spokesman, Reuben Abati, the
President Jonathan condemned the totally unwarranted
inclusion of his name in the publication titled “Africa’s Richest
Presidents 2014″ as another attempt to unjustifiably portray the
President as a corrupt leader and incite public disaffection
against him.
Read Statement below
We have noted with consternation the listing of President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by a website – RichestLifestyle.com – as
the sixth richest African President with an estimated net worth
of $100 Million U.S. Dollars.
The Presidency condemns the totally unwarranted inclusion of
President Jonathan in the publication titled “Africa’s Richest
Presidents 2014” as another attempt to unjustifiably
portray the President as a corrupt leader and incite public
disaffection against him.
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
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, was a very, very far cry from the $100 million figure
now being bandied about by Richest Lifestyle.com and other
irresponsible, copy-cat publications.
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.
We therefore demand a retraction and an unreserved apology
from Richest Lifestyle.com and all those who have reproduced
the offensive article. Otherwise, they should be prepared to
substantiate their libelous claims against the President in courts
of law within and outside Nigeria.
Reuben Abati
Special Adviser to the President

Jonathan has always declared his asset with the code of conduct bureau as stipulated by law, he also signed into law the freedom of information bill. If you need to verify the president asset, all you need do is apply to have assess to it from the Code of conduct bureau and you will have it. Claiming the president has not declared his asset because you are ignorant of the laws is what I tag "intellectual laziness" Or why should the president help the ignorance of his critics? If you need to know the president's asset, ask from the Code of conduct bureau using the FOI law.

Good point...

Those scumbags and nincompoops after realizing the weight of punishment their slanderous and devilish shenanigan carried, they had conspicuously removed the name of Jonathan from the said list. It is most unfortunate that some gullible fools have bought into the said story without given it a strict look.
