How I was Betrayed In 2015 —Jonathan

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday claimed some of his allies betrayed him during the 2015 elections.

Speaking on Thursday at Mike Oghiadomhe‘s 70th birthday celebration in Benin, Edo state capital, Jonathan disclosed that lots of Nigerian politicians cannot be trusted.

“Politics in the Nigerian standard is about betrayals. I witnessed a lot of betrayal during the 2015 election,” he said.

“You will find it difficult to see somebody who will say the same thing in the morning and say the same thing in the afternoon and in the evening.

“They will tell you something this minute, and in the next hour, they will say another. For the next hour, they will say another thing. But, I am quite pleased to associate with Oghiadomhe.”

Jonathan stated that Oghiadomhe is a reliable and trustworthy individual who can “take a bullet” on his behalf.

“For me, he [Oghiadomhe] is somebody you can take his words to the bank. Most politicians, you cannot take their words to the bank.”

The African Examiner writes that Ohiadomhe was the Edo deputy governor from 1999 to 2007, and he subsequently became the chief of staff to Jonathan.
