I didn't buy any property worth £15m says Ex president Googluck Jonathon
Former president, Goodluck Jonathan
has denied purchasing a £15 million
property in the United Kingdom. »
Jonathan’s denial was made in response to
an article in the UK Sun which alleged that
he had bought a property in St George’s Hill
in Weybridge, Surrey.
The former president made the denial via a
statement issued by his media aide,
Ikechukwu Eze.
The statement reads in part:
“Nothing could be further from the truth. Dr
Goodluck Jonathan takes pride in the fact
that he does not have any property or
accounts outside Nigeria. He stated this
publicly while in office and his commitment
to Nigeria’s economy remains total even after
he left power.”
“As the Nigerian President who signed the
Freedom of Information bill into law, Dr
Jonathan is well aware that the United
Kingdom is a nation with good record
keeping at county and national levels and as
such, it will not take a serious and
responsible media long to verify ownership of
property before rushing to the press with
potentially libellous publications.”
“It is hoped that this publication will correct
its error and do a retraction and that other
media will likewise follow up on this story to
put the lie to the details it contains.”
