Former President Goodluck Jonathan has debunked a purported media report that the aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) governors were loyal to him.
Media Adviser to Jonathan, Ikechukwu Eze, in an issued statement on Friday in Abuja, said the office’s attention had been drawn to media reports linking his name to the current troubles in the PDP.
Eze said that Jonathan would have ignored the strange tale, since it was obviously baseless.
“However, we are offering this clarification because we have been reached by many Nigerians who are concerned that such fabrication, with a vague and suspicious attribution, could be given undeserved prominence on the front page of some national dailies”, he stated.
Eze said the former president’s office’s attention was called to the provocative and insulting statements in separate, but similar versions of the story in different news media.
Eze said those who insinuated that Jonathan was not happy with the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, because of whatever roles he played ahead of the 2015 elections, had forgotten that the former president actively campaigned for him in 2019.
