I’m not on exile- Former President Goodluck Jonathan

 

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has dismissed a report that he is on exile in Cote d’Ivoire.
The report, published yesterday by a national newspaper, claimed that Dr. Jonathan had been given asylum in that Francophone country. His associates were alarmed at the report.
But Dr. Jonathan yesterday said it was all false. He told The Nation on the phone: “I’m not on exile. I have no cause to go on exile. It is a wicked and malicious report.
“I was Vice President for two years and President for six years. I did everything I could and I served
my country very well. This is what they keep saying anytime I’m outside the country. I was in Ecuador; they said I was on exile. This is my second time in Cote d’Ivoire and I’m rounding off my visit.
“It is a wicked attempt to link me with the renewed Niger Delta crisis.”
