Real reason I lost the Presidency to Muhammadu Buhari – GEJ spills


Immediate former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GEJ, has shed more light  on the reasons he lost his seat as president during the last general elections in 2015 despite his power of incumbency.
According to Jonathan, he lost the 2015 general election to President Buhari because Buhari had support from former US President Barack Obama, ex-British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Hollande.

Former President GEJ was quoted explicitly in a new book titled, “Against The Run of Play”
Goodluck Jonathan was quoted by Chairman of ThisDay Editorial Board, Olusegun Adeniyi, to have said that that the world leaders worked towards aiding President Buhari win the 2015 election.

“President Barack Obama and his officials made it very clear to me by their actions that they wanted a change of government in Nigeria and we’re ready to do anything to achieve that purpose. They even brought some naval ships into the Gulf of Guinea in the days preceding the election. I got on well with Prime Minister David Cameron but at some point, I noticed that the Americans were putting pressure on him and he had to join them against me. But I didn’t realise how far President Obama was prepared to go to remove me until France caved in to the pressure from America. But weeks to the election, he had also joined the Americans in supporting the opposition against me. There was this blanket accusation that my body language was supporting corruption, a line invented by the opposition but which the media and civil society bought into and helped to project to the world. That was the same thing I kept hearing from the Americans without specific allegations.”
Jonathan stated that he decided to concede defeat after the election so as to avoid blood bath which would have been the case if he had contested in anyway.
And like GEJ has always said his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
