President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday said he is ready for any probe of
activities under his watch when he leaves office on May 29.
In a
statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr.
Reuben Abati, the President said that he is not afraid of any
investigation after leaving office.
He noted that investigations
will not be out of place since Jonathan’s administration also reviewed
the actions of previous governments on assumption of office.
“As
Alhaji Mohammed threatened in his statement, the incoming administration
will be perfectly within its rights to review all actions of the
present government as it may deem fit.
“We see nothing wrong with
that. After all, the present administration reviewed the actions of
previous governments on assumption of office with resultant benefits for
policy and project implementation,” he said.
He also disclosed
that President Jonathan has ordered the immediate release of the full
report of PriceWater Cooper’s investigations into the alleged unremitted
$20 billion to the Federation account by the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
He said: “President Jonathan is
also deeply concerned by the continuing suggestions that his
administration still has something to hide about the unproven allegation
that about $20 billion is unaccounted for by the NNPC during his
tenure.
“To lay the matter to rest, President Jonathan in line
with Section 7(2) of the NNPC Act, has directed that the full report of
the PWC Forensic Audit of the NNPC accounts be released immediately to
the public so that all Nigerians will be properly informed on the
matter.
