IPOB Caution FG Over The Intimidation Of Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan Says He Owns No Foreign Bank Accounts Or Properties
Today, the world knows, and Nigerians have testified in many fora that former President Goodluck Jonathan is a righteous Man that governed the country with the fear of God.
“I call on the authorities to henceforth desist from wanton intimidation of Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, the world is aware that he is the best civilian president ever without any foreign bank accounts.
Although he made a lot of mistakes, we know that due to his blind trust, his friend among the Yorubas and some from the north betrayed him and unleashed a military attack we know today as Boko Haram on the government with the aim of removing him from office.
The IPOB leader said the action was nothing but an attempt to humiliate the former president and his family. And we cannot sit back and watch the agents and enemies of Biafra intimidate our brother and father in anyways.
He added that the administration was also pursuing former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke to cover-up its alleged incompetence and corruption.
Kanu made the statement in a broadcast on Radio Biafra on Wednesday, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said.
He made this known while reacting to the Federal Government’s application to a New York Court to compel 10 foreign banks to release to it account details of Jonathan, his wife and Alison-Madueke.
He also described popular blogger, Kemi Olunloyo as practising “gutter journalism” for proclaiming him dead. According to him, some people have been calling his younger brother in their hometown of Afaraukwu in Umuahia, Abia State to inquire if he was dead as claimed by the social media personality.
The statement read, “They are now pursuing former President Goodluck Jonathan after looting the country and are now shopping for loans from lending agencies.
They have not given the account of the N13.9 billion meant for Aso Rock clinic, yet the same people are asking for the account of a former president and his wife to disgrace them and make them scapegoats in their misrule.
“They are also pursuing Mrs. Diezani Madueke because they want to divert the attention of Nigerians and the world from their incompetence and looting, but they have not responded to the allegation of looting of N13.9 billion meant for Aso Rock clinic which alarm was raised by the wife of their president against the cabal in the government.
“We in IPOB are warning them and their compromised media who have not seen anything good in other administrations except theirs, to leave former President Jonathan and his wife, Patience, alone.
“You may toy with Jonathan because he allowed you to do that to him, but do not toy with Patience, otherwise we will bring down Nigeria. We are surprised that PANDEF and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have all kept quiet to this renewed attack on Jonathan.
“It is high time Dr Jonathan dropped his gentleman’s toga and defend himself, his wife and family members.” And if he would not want to do that for any reason, IPOB will respond in his defence, he warned.
