\"image\"<\/a> Ex President Jonathan has reacted to a report UK Sun newspaper wrote alleging that he recently bought a 12,000 square foot house in Surrey worth a between 10-15 million pounds. The story was written by a former editor of the paper,\u00a0Kelvin MacKenzie, in his Weekly column last Sunday. Reacting to the report, Jonathan denied owing the property and demanded a retraction and apology from the newspaper. Below is what he wrote \u201cNothing could be further from the truth. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan takes pride in the fact that he does not have any property or accounts outside Nigeria. He stated this publicly while in office and his commitment to Nigeria\u2019s economy remains total even after he left power. As the Nigerian President who signed the Freedom of Information bill into law, Dr. Jonathan is well aware that the United Kingdom is a nation with good record keeping at county and national levels and as such, it will not take a serious and responsible media long to verify ownership of property before rushing to the press with potentially libellous publications. It is hoped that this publication will correct its error and do a retraction and that other media will likewise follow up on this story to put the lie to the details it contains.<\/p>\n
