Jonathan’s parlour can’t hold more than 10 persons… he’s poorest Nigerian ex-president – Associate

By Newsworth - January 22, 2018017


A retired Permanent Secretary and an associate of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Ambassador Godknows Igali, says the immediate past president may be the poorest former leader in Africa, adding that he is struggling to pay off debts incurred on the 2015 presidential election.


The diplomat told newsmen in Abuja on Sunday that the living room of the former president in his Maitama-Abuja residence can’t accommodate more than 10 persons, wondering which of his colleagues occupies such a modest apartment.

He pointed out that despite allegations of corruption leveled against some of the officials and associates of Jonathan during the last administration, he left office as a fulfilled man but insolvent vis-a-vis most of his retired predecessors.

Igali was categorical that Jonathan, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the 2015 presidential poll, is Nigeria’s poorest ex-president and may also occupy same position in Africa.

According to him, “I am glad that some of you journalists are privileged to know where he (Jonathan) lives and where he has his private offices in this country.

“I do not think President Jonathan can be considered a very rich man. You must realize that none of those corruption allegations has been personally linked to him.

“Jonathan is not a rich man, take it from me. He may be comfortable but not rich. But l know that his pension as a former president is enough to take care of him.”

The associate described Jonathan as a “modest” man whose lifestyle and background were humble, adding that: “Indeed Jonathan is still struggling to pay some election liabilities from 2015 till today.

“Despite all the stories of flying billions, Jonathan borrowed money to prosecute some aspects of his election and he is struggling in different ways to meet up.

“There’s a lot of untruths that is being said about him, but l believe history will be very fair to him.

“He is a very simple man. His background and lifestyle are very simple.

“He is not jingoistic.

“Thank God some of you guys know where he has an office and where he lives in Maitama (Abuja).

“Which former president of Nigeria lives in that kind of place?

“President Jonathan’s parlour in his Maitama house cannot accommodate more than 10 persons.

“Look at his dinning table, it is like any other house in Maitama.

“The only way you will know that a former president of this country is living there is the presence of security men and which he is entitled to as a former president.”

You dey mind them?

They ones told us he has no shoe, now he has no sitting room. Mumu people

Just as PMB's "parlor" could not accommodate 3 toddlers, and he watched a 32 inch obsolete television set.

In my opinion, everyone who has ruled since August 1985 has looted us blind.

Until we collectively eschew sentiments and demand accountability from crimi-leaders, growth as a nation may tarry!

But mama peace parlour can accommodate the whole community.

how this one take be news..

Poeple lik this fool@igali is one of the reasons Nigeria wil neva be beta again. Ar you stupid, as a president he was receiving abt 2b naira per month, meaning 12 months was 24 billion naira and for the 6 years he ruled Nigeria wil be 144 billion naira. Plus other stolen money runing in trillions, wen our politheicians going to receive common sence and stop misleading Nigerians.how are you goin to convince us that he couldn't buld house that can house mor than 10 persons. Tufiakwa, i weep for Nigeria, truly there was a country.

Yes, he is the poorest president but his account can sustain one million people for 100 years each. Afterall his wife Mama Piss Sheppopo has $31 million in Skye Bank account, only the devil knows how much she has all over the world.

He is the profile of the man that says that Goatluck is world's poorest ex-president.

Ex Poorest president married to riches ex first lady, joker should fool himself and his zombies.

una wan start another deceiving again

In tuface voice

Tah!!!

If I hear!!!


Very big fat lie!


You thieves in positions of authority should keep deceiving yourselves!

Vanity upon vanity!

hhhmm

Where

Ok, but his wife is the richest former first lady despite being a common state civil servant all her life.

While the husband is don fortunato, the wife is the book-keeper who receives the royalties from political contractors.

His wife Patience stole all the money and saved it in her name, thats why its very easy for most of it to be confiscated by the FG. That is how to know greedy women, they try to accumulate wealth at the expense of their husbands and we have seen many come to NL to lament about this kind of Patience Jonathan attitude by their wives.

Last week a guy lamented here about how his wife is building a house in her name without informing him, tomorrow the Lagos State Govt may come and demolish the house and some people will cry about 'witch-hunting' the family and telling the man to fight for his right when the man is not even involved in the building like we saw in Abuja when PEJ house was demolished.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

What about that of his wife?

may ogun fire u there. GEJ has the biggest bunkering outfit in nigeria. na coded thief

Hhmmmm

Where is the parlor?

No picture as proof?

Btw, big parlor doesn't define a rich man tho

What irritates me more is his poverty of ideas, weakness of the mind and a complete lack of ambition

I laff...
