Activist group, Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL) in a statement released on Tuesday is calling on the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, to explain the source of the funds used to build a N10 billion hotel in Bayelsa State.
The statement, released by the group’s acting Media Officer, Abiodun Rabiu, quoted the Executive Chairman of CACOL, Debo Adeniran, as saying that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission needed no further petition to invite Patience for questioning as it recalled that Patience was only a permanent secretary in Bayelsa State at that time and at such it demands the ex-president’s wife must be made to explain the source of her wealth.
A United Kingdom newspaper, The Financial Times alleged that the said hotel known as Aridolf Resort Wellness and Spa, in Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa State was inaugurated by Patience Jonathan in April 2015, a month before the end of her husband’s tenure.
The group said apart from explaining how she made the money to build the world-class hotel, she must also tell Nigerians how she came about the $20m found in five bank accounts linked to her.
