Goodluck Jonathan
It was widely reported online
and social media yesterday that former President Goodluck Jonathan went
into temporary self exile in Cote d’Ivoire, following reports that the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may arrest him on his
arrival in Nigeria from his overseas tour on allegations of corruption
and misappropriation of billions of dollars during his tenure as
president.
Just as the news went viral, the former president, spoke exclusively to ThisDay
on the phone late on monday, and confirmed that he had been out of the
country for over a month, revealing that he travelled to some cities in
the United States of America, then departed the country for London
before arriving Cote d’Ivoire via Paris, thereby debunking the alleged
'exile report'.
In flash news report posted by SaharaReporters on its Twitter page,
former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is currently in Lesotho,
Southern Africa, has undertaken to broker ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan's return to Nigeria, probably to come and answer some questions
on allegations of corruption and misappropriation of billions of
dollars levelled against him.
This new report is still developing, we'll surely keep you updated as soon we have more details.
