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.
