Former President Goodluck Jonathan has cleared the air on insinuations that he has gone on exile.
Jonathan, on Monday, May 23, 2016, placed a phone call to ThisDay and said he was resting in Cote d’Ivoire.
The former President also confirmed that he was in the United states for a while, adding that he had no reason to leave Nigeria.
GEJ said “Yes
I am in Cote d’Ivoire, I have been here for a week resting and this is
my second trip to the country since I stepped down as president.
“I
have made sacrifices for Nigeria. I am praised all over Africa for
averting bloodshed and for the peaceful transition from one government
to another, but it seems Nigeria does not appreciate my efforts.
“I
have done my best for this country and if I have to die for it, I will
do so. However, I am taking it easy here (Cote d’Ivoire) and when I am
ready, I will come back.”
Various
people have called for the arrest of former President Goodluck Jonathan
following revelations from those arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), claiming he was aware of the disbursement of huge sums of money.
