Former Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Nordic countries of Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway, Ambassador Godknows Igali, has revealed that former president Goodluck Jonathan came out of the presidency not only dead broke, but in debt.
Igali, a close ally of the former leader said that contrary to the pictures being painted of former president, Goodluck Jonathan, he is one of poorest former Nigerian leaders, even in Africa, in recent years.
“Indeed Jonathan is still struggling to pay some election liabilities from 2015 till today, he said in an interactive session with selected journalists over the week-end.
“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.”
The former Permanent Secretary in both Ministries of Power and Water Resources, stated that Jonathan left government bankrupt compared to most of his predecessors.
He stated that even with the corruption accusations against his regime, non of the corruption cases have so far been linked directly to the former president.
