A civil society organisation , Coalition Against
Corrupt Leaders, has said the wife of former
President Goodluck Jonathan , Patience , must
explain how she came about the funds with
which she reportedly built a N 10 bn hotel in
Yenagoa , Bayelsa State.
The hotel , which is known as Aridolf Resort
Wellness and Spa, Yenagoa , was inaugurated
by Patience in April 2015 , barely a month
before the end of her husband ’ s tenure .
But CACOL , which recalled in a statement on
Tuesday that Patience was only a Permanent
Secretary in Bayelsa State at a time , said the
ex - President ’ s wife must be made to explain
the source of her wealth .
The statement by the group ’ s acting Media
Officer , Abiodun Rabiu , quoted the Executive
Chairman of CACOL , Debo Adeniran, as
saying the EFCC needed no further petition to
invite Patience for questioning .
CACOL asked , “ How did she ( Patience) get the
money and even the ones stacked in her
accounts ? That is what we , Nigerians , want to
know . As far as we can understand , she was
just a civil servant .
“ So , as a civil servant , how did she manage to
acquire such a luxurious property that is
worth that amount, because she would have
earned less than 10 per cent of the amount
even if she had been a Director or Permanent
Secretary in the Bayelsa State Civil Service all
of the entire years she has spent on earth?”
