Presidency Angry Over Inclusion In " Richest African Presidents List", Calls It An Attempt To "Unjustifiably Portray The President As A Corrupt Leader"!

After being rated as the sixth richest African President with an estimated net worth of $100 million by RichestLifestyle.coma website, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has demanded a retraction and an apology.

The list reportedly placed Jonathan on the same position as King Mswati III of Swaziland. 

In a statement issued by the Presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, the presidency said the inclusion of the Jonathan's name on the list was to deliberately portray him as corrupt.

"The presidency condemns the totally unwarranted inclusion of President Jonathan in the publication titled "Africa's Richest Presidents 2014" as another attempt to unjustifiably portray the President as a corrupt leader and incite public disaffection against him." he said

Abati said, there was no factual basis for ranking the president as the sixth richest African Head of State. "As is well known, President Jonathan has never been a businessman or entrepreneur, but a life-long public servant. The president has held public office since 1999 and has regularly declared his assets as required by Nigerian laws." he said.

Others who made the list, from the first to ninth position respectively, were, Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola, King Mohammed VI of Morocco, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta of Kenya, Paul Biya of Cameroun, Idriss Deby of Chad, and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
