Smh!! So he doesn't know about this too?? Does Jonathan really make any decisions?? Is he really in control of anything? He always comes off as someone that just does what people say and more often than not he picks the wrong advice, even he has admitted this. This is rather embarrassing! 17 Likes 2 Shares |

IbnSultaan: GEJ appears incapable of calling white, white. Now this has caught up with all those working with him. What in hell were they going to achieve insisting GEJ had talked with the Morrocan Mornach? For a country to withdraw her ambassador is not a small diplomatic gaffe. If the Nigerian president could lie as naked as this, which Nigerian wouldn't? Sad commentary for all of us. Lying is abominable in decent societies and they wouldn't accept that from the Nigerian leadership. Morroco would rather not relate with a lying nation. Sad, very sad indeed. 11 Likes |

Once again, the jonathan political machine displays their amateurish tendencies. Playing right into the hands of the Islamist who want nothing but him out of office and their brother buhari in, a minor diplomatic spat like this does not warrant the response it has gotten from rabat, unless they have a ulterior motive. 3 Likes |

[quote author=IbnSultaan post=31586526]President Goodluck Jonathan admitted Friday that he did not speak on telephone with the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, as claimed last week by the Nigerian foreign affairs ministry, an apparently false claim that sparked a diplomatic spat between the two countries with Morocco recalling its ambassador. The president has ordered a full investigation into the scandal and has promised to sanction the foreign affairs official who made that claim, a statement from his office said. Mr. Jonathan was “shocked, surprised and highly embarrassed by the controversy that has erupted over whether or not he had a telephone conversation with His Majesty, King Mohammed VI of Morocco,” the statement said. Diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Morocco worsened Tuesday after the North African country recalled its ambassador from Abuja, following the telephone call row. The controversy began after Morocco revealed last week that its leader rejected a request from Mr. Jonathan for a conversation. The Moroccan Foreign Ministry said the request was a devious move by Mr. Jonathan to curry electoral favour than a genuine diplomatic move. “The request by Nigerian authorities for a phone conversation between HM King Mohammed VI and Nigerian President was refused by the Monarch who deemed it inappropriate on grounds of the upcoming elections in Nigeria,” the statement read. However, on Monday, the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement refuting the claim of the Moroccans. The Nigerian foreign ministry claimed that King Mohammed IV of Morocco spoke to President Jonathan from France where he had gone for a visit. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also denied that the phone call was intended to confer electoral gains on Mr. Jonathan who faces a crucial electoral challenge from an invigorated opposition in two weeks. “Since the King was in France and not in Morocco, both leaders spoke extensively over the telephone on matters of mutual interest and concern that have nothing to do with the conduct of re-scheduled elections in Nigeria. “It is therefore preposterous to suggest that Mr President’s telephone call to the Moroccan monarch was intended to confer any electoral advantage on the President,” the statement read. The North African nation responded furiously Tuesday, denying the claim by the Nigerian authorities, and recalling its ambassador. The office of Mohammed VI denied the king ever spoke to the Nigerian president. It issued a statement describing Nigeria’s claim that a discussion took place between King Mohammed and President Jonathan as “unethical practices”. The statement said it wished to state in the “clearest and strongest terms” that “there has never been a phone conversation” between the two leaders. “The King’s Office categorically denies the false allegations made by Nigerian authorities about an alleged phone conversation between the Sovereign and Nigerian President,” the statement said. A statement signed by Reuben Abati, the spokesperson for Mr. Jonathan, said the furore generated over the matter was due “entirely to misinformation as President Jonathan has neither spoken with King Mohammed nor told anybody that he had a telephone conversation with the Moroccan Monarch”. “It is true that President Jonathan has been speaking with some African leaders to seek their support for Nigeria’s candidate for the position of President of the African Development Bank (AfDB). “In continuation of his efforts in support of the candidacy of the Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina for headship of the AfDB, President Jonathan indicated that he would like to speak with the King of Morocco, the President of Algeria and the President of Egypt. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was consequently directed to make necessary contacts with the embassies of the three countries and arrange for President Jonathan to speak with their leaders. “Since that directive was given, President Jonathan has spoken with the Prime Minister of Algeria and subsequently sent Vice President Namadi Sambo to Algiers as Special Envoy to follow-up on his discussions with the Algerian Prime Minister on support for Nigeria’s candidate in the coming elections for the AfDB Presidency. “The President has, however, not yet spoken with King Mohammed VI and President Al-Sisi of Egypt as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must know. The statement said President Jonathan has ordered the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, to urgently undertake a full investigation of the claim which emanated from the Ministry that the President spoke with King Mohammed VI. “The investigation is to identify all those who were responsible for the unacceptable act of official misinformation which has resulted in an unnecessary diplomatic row with another country and national embarrassment,” the statement said.

DesChyko: GEJ isnt fazed. .These are all APC diversions. GEJ isnt shouting that he is being monitored or that his phone conversations are being leaked. PDP isn't making any claims either but wait till something like this happens to an APC member. .all hell will be loose. Sahara Reporters and Punch will not let us rest with news captions like - "if anything happens to me, blame GEJ" "Jona wants to killi me o " "Ayam scared cause 2 army men just walked pass my gate..GEJ sent them" "my line can't call out cause the DSS is monitoring my calls". Chai APC!! What a bunch of jokers?!! They are such irrelevant cry babies that no one takes them seriously anymore..now they pass through other means to spread their propaganda. Newsflash for them...Nigeria isn't all about them or their so-called change!! GEJ has his Presidential obligations to fulfill and his every movement has absolutely nothing to do with the APC and it's expired products. *Deuces* |
