Says president didn’t inherit empty treasury
Fielding questions during an interview at the Bloomberg studios in London yesterday, the former president declined making further comments on whether he and his administration might be indicted for corrupt acts.
He, however, stated that he did not hand over empty treasury to Buhari on May 29, 2015. Asked whether he is worried that he would come under investigation for corruption, Jonathan said: “Of course, obviously, I would be investigated. In fact, I am being investigated.
Investigations are going on. “I would not want to make certain comments because when a government is working, it would not be proper for immediate past president to make certain statements. I will allow the government do its work. I wouldn’t want to make serious comments on that. “After all these investigations, the stories will be properly chronicled.
I wouldn’t want to say this or that; it’s not a good practice. I have just left office and I should allow the president and his team do what they think is good for the country,” he said. On whether he agrees with the perception that his government was very corrupt, he said: “Perception is based on what people say.http://newtelegraphonline.com/buhari-probing-corruption-jonathan/
