Nigeria Would’ve Collapsed Had Officials Of My Govt Stole That Much As Alarmed – Jonathan

“Jonathan said the alle­gation was the same way somebody stated that $49.8 billion was missing, which he later said was $12 billion and later $20 billion, saying when the issue was raised by the German chancellor with him in a meeting, he told the foreign leader that if such amount of money was missing in Nigeria, the country would collapse”.

That was a quote from the Daily Sun Newspaper where it was said that the former President Goodluck Jonathan opined that Nigeria would have collapsed had officials of his government had stole that much as being peddled by some quarters.

Speaking in Geneva, Switzerland yesterday at a media interaction organised by the Geneva Press Club, Jonathan said as a former president, who laboured to build institutions, it will be out of place for him to do anything that would under­mine government and pro­cesses.
