ARREST PATIENCE JONATHAN NOW!, SHE'S NOT ABOVE THE LAW! - APC TELLS EFCC

Comrade Timi Frank has said that Nigeria’s
ex-First Lady, Patience Jonathan is not above
the law
– The scribe of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), said Dame Patience is not above the
law
– Timi Frank has asked the ex-First Lady to
go clear her name before the EFCC
Chief scribe of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Comrade Timi Frank has said that
there is nothing wrong in trying Patience
Jonathan for alleged fraud.
The acting National Publicity Secretary of the
APC, Comrade asked Nigeria’s former First-
lady, Dame Patience Jonathan to go clear her
name before the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) rather than
resorting to under-hand tactics to armtwist
the anti-graft agency into doing her bidding.
Frank in a statement issued Sunday,
September 25 in Abuja, said the immediate-
past First-lady is not above the law,
describing as shameful, threats by a Niger
Delta militant group and the protest at the
Port Harcourt zonal office of the EFCC in
support of Mrs Jonathan, over the freezing of
her dollar account containing about $31.4
million.
“My candid advice to Mrs Patience Jonathan
is to apologize to Nigerians for the current
economic hardship which Mr Jonathan’s
regime could have easily averted instead of
sponsoring shameless protests against the
government; anyway, Nigerians are still
waiting for the apology”, he said.
The statement warned the youth to desist
from such shameless act of defending
politicians for a pot of porridge, adding that
the present APC administration is fighting
corruption so as to secure the future for
them.
Frank, a native of Bayelsa state, said it is
surprising that Mrs Jonathan had such an
amount of money in her custody while people
from her region were dying from water-borne
diseases, saying, it took President
Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for
example, to recently commission a water
project even in Otuoke, Bayelsa state, the
hometown of former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
“The show of shame called protest at the Port
Harcourt office of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission EFCC to demand the
unfreezing of Mrs Jonathan’s dollar accounts
was uncalled for and there is nothing wrong if
the former first lady explains the source of
$31.4 million to the anti-corruption agency.
“The country is at present going through
recession as a result of the mismanagement
of the economy left behind by Patience
Jonathan’s husband-led administration which
APC is working hard to correct as soon as
possible.
“It should be made clear that there is nothing
wrong for EFCC to invite Mrs Patience
Jonathan for questioning if the organization
suspects a foul play in accumulation of such
big amount of money.
“Again, the era of being above the law is
over. This is a change government of
accountability where the rule of law is
paramount. The number four citizen of this
country today, Senate President Bukola
Saraki, whose office is prominently recognized
by the constitution is facing trial not to talk of
one former first lady which the Nigerian
constitution does not recognize.
“Again, we should also remind those who have
forgotten that a national leader of APC, who
was once the vice president of this nation,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was once investigated.
So, why must Mrs Jonathan’s case be
different?
“We call on the leadership of the EFCC not to
feel threatened in carrying out its official duty
and ensure that whoever is caught in the web
is properly brought to book,” he concluded.
In the same vein, The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission is set to invite the wife of
former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame
Patience Jonathan, after freezing her personal
account with a balance of $5m as well as
four other accounts linked to her with a
balance of $15.6m.
Sources at the EFCC told Sunday Punch that
detectives had visited the bank where the
accounts were opened and had obtained the
files containing Patience’s information.
The detectives have been able to establish a
prima facie case of money laundering and
forgery against Patience.
