Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan has responded to a UK Sun newspaper report that he allegedly bought a 12,000 square foot house in Surrey worth between 10-15 million pounds recently . This was contained in a weekly column of a former editor of the paper, Kelvin MacKenzie, on Sunday .
Reacting to the report, Jonathan denied owing the property and demanded a retraction and apology from the newspaper.
According to a statement former Presidents media aide, Mr. Ikechukwu Eze…
“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.
