In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, the Chairperson of Ijaw Mothers Union (IMU), Doris McDaniels, has spoken out on the recent outburst over reports that former First lady, Patience Jonathan, claimed ownership of a $31.4 million found in the account of a company currently under investigations for fraud.McDaniels stated that the former first lady can own any amount of money as she was the wife of a deputy governor, governor, Vice President and then a President.She said; “I will commend Mrs Patience Jonathan because if this is the allegation against her, then it is funny. So you mean the wife of a former deputy governor, governor, Vice President, Acting President and President cannot own this kind of money, yet wife of President Muhammadu Buhari that is less than two years in office can travel with the kind of bag as alleged recently? Then this is a funny country."If high-profile government officials,can own properties in Dubai, yet we say wife of a former President can’t own this money, then Nigeria is a laughing stock. EFCC should follow the law,” she said.
