Former president, Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to a move by the Federal Government to subpoena bank records allegedly belonging to him and his wife, Patience Jonathan.

In a statement issued by his spokesman, Ikechukwu Eze, Jonathan stated that has no account or property abroad.

“Our attention has been drawn to international media reports to the effect that the Federal Government of Nigeria has subpoenaed bank records for former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan in the United States of America,” Eze said.

“We aver that the Federal Government of Nigeria did not contact Dr. Jonathan or his wife before issuing these subpoenas. If they had, we would have advised them of the fact that you cannot subpoena what does not exist,” he added.

The Federal Government is also searching for bank records of Diezani Alison-Madueke and Rilwanu Lukman who were both ormer Ministers of Petroleum.
