The Presidency has reacted to claims by the former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki that the Goodluck Jonathan administration cleared the Northeast of Boko Haram terrorists to make elections possible in 2015.

The Presidency described the claim as untrue and superlative claims by the ex-NSA to cover his sins and an attempt to deceive Nigerians with blatant lies.

Dasuki, who is currently facing trial for allegedly misappropriating $2.1 billion earmarked for the procurement of arms while in office, said that the conduct of the 2015 election in the north-east was possible because the government of Goodluck Jonathan had defeated Boko Haram.

The ex-NSA, who wrote from a detention facility of the Department of States Services (DSS) in the forward of a book entitled: ‘Boko Haram media war – an encounter with the spymaster’, authored by Yushau Shuaib, a communications consultant, said the government also deployed practical aspects of crisis communication throughout the period of the campaigns.

Dasuki said the urgent response of the Jonathan administration to the insurgency led to the smooth conduct of 2015 general election in the north-east.

“In fact, without our intervention in ensuring the defeat of Boko Haram, the electorate could not have had the opportunity to exercise their franchise. It is a fact that we provided peace and stability that afforded Nigerians, especially in the north-east in voting for their governors, legislators and others in the 2015 elections,” he said.

But in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the claim in the book, is just another unfortunate attempt by “inglorious Nigerians to rewrite the history of our country in such a way as to cover the sins of the past.

“We will have to read the entire text to offer a full and adequate response.
