The publishers stated of the removal of the article thus, ” This article has been removed. The net worth was evaluated by Celebrity Net Worth”. The Presidency on Wednesday condemned what it termed “the totally unwarranted inclusion of President Jonathan in the publication”. In a statement, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati said President Jonathan has never been a businessman and all his income since 1999 till date has been from the emoluments he earned from the offices he has held. According to Dr Abati, the “the totally unwarranted inclusion of President Jonathan in the publication titled “Africa’s Richest Presidents 2014″ is another attempt to unjustifiably portray the President as a corrupt leader and incite public disaffection against him”. He said that “there has been no significant variation in the totality of his personal assets as contained in his last declaration to the Nigerian Code of Conduct Bureau in 2011 which, as can be verified, was a very, very far cry from the $100 million figure now being bandied about by Richest Lifestyle.com and other irresponsible, copy-cat publications”. The statement reads: “We have noted with consternation the listing of President  Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by a website – RichestLifestyle.com – as the sixth richest African President with an estimated net worth of $100 million U.S. Dollars.
