Patience Jonathan Denies Link With Companies That Pleaded Guilty

Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience, Thursday denied allegations that her accounts were used to launder huge sums.
In a statement by her media aide, Yemi Akinbode, Mrs Jonathan said she was constrained to respond to “tissues of lies being churned out” by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).




The statement said: “That Mrs. Patience Ibifaka Jonathan is laying claim to ownership of a whopping sum of $31.7 million dollars fund recovered by EFCC is a complete fallacy. Mrs. Jonathan does not own and has never owned such amount of money. The reason for this lie is best known to the EFCC.


“That another sum of $20 million dollars has been traced to Mrs. Patience Ibifaka Jonathan, is again, another falsehood aimed at hoodwinking the public against Mrs. Jonathan.
“That a further sum of $5 million dollars has again being traced to another account of Mrs. Patience Jonathan. This is also a fallacy.


“That Mrs. Patience Jonathan opened accounts in the names of cooks, drivers and artisans. This is perhaps the biggest falsehood to the knowledge of EFCC.”


The former First Lady picked holes in the authenticity of the representatives of the four companies who pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering.
Her lawyer, Gboyega Oyewole, said she would appeal the validity of the representatives of Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited, Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Limited, Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited and Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited.

The former First Lady’s counsel alleged that the prosecution presented four unknown people as the companies’ representatives, all of whom he said did not show letters authorising them by their respective boards to represent them in the case.
“This is a clear evidence of the desperation of the prosecution to pull down the former First Lady and confiscate her hard-earned money,” the statement quoted Oyewole as saying.


Mrs Jonathan was quoted as saying that EFCC was bent on denting her image and trampling on her fundamental human rights.
Her words: “This is an irony. I was the one who went to court for the repatriation of my confiscated money when I realised that the EFCC and its co-travellers were playing politics with this issue after I had come out publicly to say that the said money belongs to me and that I have all evidence to prove the sources of my money.


“Up till this very moment, EFCC has refused to interrogate or invite me for questioning, while the agency has continued to detain Dudafa under heavy armed security guards.

“The biggest twist in court on Thursday (yesterday) was that the fourth to seventh defendants pleaded guilty to all the 15-count charges. It is clear that these unknown faces were agents of the EFCC, who have been stage-managed and tutored to come to court to complicate the case as a strategy to confiscate my money.”

Mrs. Jonathan reiterated her respect for the sanctity and integrity of the judiciary as the bastion of hope for every citizen of the country.
She, however, expressed disappointment that her “well-earned image” was being maligned in the court of public opinion through the “tissues of lies being churned out by the EFCC in respect of the matter.”

Mrs Jonathan restated that she was not a director, shareholder, promoter or participant in any of the four companies that pleaded guilty, and that she was the sole signatory to all the accounts, contrary to the fabrication that she used her driver and cook as proxies.


She also denied ever receiving any monies from any unknown sources into her accounts, adding that they were opened in order to facilitate her travel overseas particularly for medical treatment, sundry purchase for herself and her late mother Mrs. Charity Oba (Mama Sisi).
On how her monies got to the accounts, she said she directed a former Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs to President Jonathan Waripamo Dudafa to open the accounts for her, only for him to open them in his companies’ names rather than her name.


“She immediately complained about this anomaly to Hon. Dudafa and the bank officials, Demola Doledeoku and Dipo Oshodi came back to the villa with forms to change and convert the said accounts to the personal name of Mrs Jonathan.
“This was her firm request which the bank officials promised to effect immediately and she duly completed account conversion forms and signed the mandate forms as a the sole signatory, but as it would appear, the said bank officials did not change the account names despite her request,” the statement added.

  5. See madame patience trying to play ten ten with our intelligence, contradicting herself in almost every statement.

    Denied laying claim to $31 million. Denied links to $20 million and $5 million found in her account. In the same vein she said "I had come out publicly to say that the said money belongs to me and that I have all evidence to prove the sources of my money." If you deny laying claim to millions of dollars then what money are you saying belongs to you?

    Carry go madame. We all know that if there was any form of justice in naija, you won't be yanning okpabs like this. All these bragado is just for your ardent supporters who'll defend you even if you confess to murder by saying "is she the first person to kill someone?"

    3. Very stupid comment. Annoyingly, she's not alone in this. 70% on Nigerians think like this. How stupid can a whole country be. We take our stupidity back to heaven to show God how creative we have been with our state of mind.
      What is she suing Skye bank for then?
      I don't blame Nigerian too sometimes, all our life from baby to adulthood, all we have witnessed is stealing and improvised community. It will take a hardliner to convince us otherwise. Real enlightenment and corporal treatments.
      God bless Nigeria.

  9. If she claims the money aren't hers, then which of her money did the efcc allegedly confiscate?? Plus this statement is almost similar to the first statement released by the agency where they claimed dudafa opened accounts for her with different names and even after she alerted him and the bank reps about this, the change wasn't effected.

  11. From my observations, I've noticed Linda Eze is a foul mouthed shallow brained nitwit with no sense of reasoning and she's the leader of a gang of ethnic and religious bigots who always have a wankfest whenever the news isn't in their favour. She comes across as someone whose only source of joy is the fact that she thinks she's relevant on the Internet but who might be suffering from low self esteem in reality, hence the bitterness and hatred she dishes out.

    2. Lol, Why are you carrying these people's matter for head? A lot of these people know what they are and you acknowledging them will only encourage them. The way to stop Internet trolls is to ignore them. They feed off attention. Unfortunately they already have fans of like minds so get used to reading their statements or better yet,just ignore.

      Also Nigeria is a mixed bag of tribalism and religious bigotry where people rarely see anything wrong in their own but are ready to crucify someone for the same reason they praised their own. I don't know if you've not been living in naija but better get used to it. And your tribe and religion determines how your comment will be received and perceived.

  12. Tony ihekhire, don't know if I got the spelling right, is someone who'd have gotten a lot of sympathy from me, cos he allegedly almost committed suicide sometime ago, but his vile and abusive comments won't let that happen. Just like his gang leader, he struggles for relevance on this blog cos he has self esteem issues in reality. You shouldn't be too surprised that young lady left him to hang and cared less if he committed suicide or not, cos she knows the dude would go to any length to seek attention cos that's what he feeds on to thrive. Tony isn't just hateful and bitter, he's deranged, damaged and delusional. I call him the tipple D.

  14. The General's wife.... she's an ass kisser who doesn't want to get on the wrong side of the undisputed deranged queen, Linda Eze... she constantly pays homage to the "Queen" so she doesn't get attacked by the mad dog. She never points out the stupidity of the "Queen" to her but is quick to criticise those she know won't attack back. Would have called her a hypocrite but she's just a coward.

  16. Send her jail if she's found guilty.
    It's as simple as that.
    And to all those hailing Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as being a professional in doing her job and seeking Mr. Jonathan's consent before she approved the release of of any money even though she was aware of the level of corruption in his administration. I only have one question for them. If Nigeria was a family business of the Iweala's family, where every member if the family had relatively some level of share in the business having Dr. Ngozi as the coordinator and her husband as the general overseer of the business, would she allow other family members continuously withdraw money from the business without any meaningful investment simply because they requested for it and the chair person (Mr. Iweala) has given a go ahead. Won't Dr. Ngoz Look for ways to stop these excessive waste of their collective wealth by persuading her husband to do something about it?
    If it was actually true that Dr. Ngozi knew about the level of corruption under Jonathan's administration and refused to act, then her level of patriotism is questionable. Because, it's also very possible that Jonathan gave his "go ahead " to these requests simply because he had faith in Ngozi to do the right. He might have been a PhD holder but certainly not in business and financial matters. He could have been ignorant of what was going on at least to an extent.
    Dr. Ngozi, was a fluke period.
    Let's always speak the truth.
    GOD BLESS NIGERIA

    2. Jonathan was definitely not ignorant of what was going on, he was simply lily livered and lacked the will to make necessary corrections. Iweala on the other hand should have resigned since she knew things weren't right and she didn't have the guts to challenge the powers that be. She should have resigned. Not partaking but playing along makes her equally guilty. Greed didn't allow her walk away

    3. If anyone thinks Brother Jona was oblivious to the massive looting that went on, then that person isn't Bn truthful to him or herself or simply sooo ignorant.
      And yes Ngozi partook of it too. Time Wil uncover her own loot. Even though I must add she applied wisdom to her own grabbing.

  18. I wrote about chi exotic the first time but it didn't get posted... well chi exotic is a proxy of Linda Eze albeit a slightly intelligent one. she's also a bigot and like all bigots she's hateful and bitter. A Lil more intelligent than Linda, doesn't mean she's not retarded too. Like Linda, I'm sure she likes the sound of her own voice cos she's deluded into believing she's intelligent and she's also an avid supporter of mediocrity

  24. This statement by PEJ is somehow o!

    1. if you have NO CONNECTIONS with the companies, how would you know if they people representing are false or unauthorized?

    2. You claim you are not connected with the monies this companies have in their account, which money then is EFCC trying to seize from you?

    3. You are not connected to the companies/accounts BUT you are the sole signatories to the account.

    4. You did not use your domestic help's names, but you were aware that Dudafa used the companies that has your domestic help's name as Director.

    5. Can PEJ share with us what is called an Account CONVERSION FORM. Isn't it simple to just Close the accounts or just re-open another in your name and put the funds there?

    6. So Mama Sisi died in 2013, thus you've been operating these accounts since 2013 and you didn't notice that the "conversion" was not done?

    This kind of statements are issued to appeal to sentimental folks who won't bother to borrow sense but will be empowered to display foolishness.
