THE British Government has washed off its hands
over allegation by former President Goodluck
Jonathan that its former Prime Minister, David
Cameron, connived with other world leaders to edge
him out office.


Jonathan in a new book launched on Friday, accused
Cameron, former United States President, Barak
Obama and other world leaders of aiding his rival,
Muhammadu Buhari to win the last general election.
But in a quick reaction, the British Government in a
statement issued by its High Commission in Nigeria
and signed by the Press and Public Affairs Officer,
Mr. Joe Abuku, said that the election was a Nigerian
project and that the British Government did not
interfere with the polls in any way.


It said, “Prior to the 2015 elections in Nigeria, the UK
engaged with Nigerian political parties and their
leaders to urge them to run a fair, non violent
campaign and allow Nigerian voters to decide who
their future political leadership would be. We
congratulated President Jonathan on having handed
over power peacefully in 2015 having lost the
Nigerian Presidential elections.
“The elections were a credit to the Nigerian people
and a truly historic moment for Nigerian democracy.
This process further strengthened Nigeria’s
democratic tradition.


President Muhammadu Buhari bids farewell to the
former President Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan after a
close door meeting at the State House in Abuja
“The UK welcomes the assessment of independent
observers, including the EU, that Nigeria’s elections
were largely peaceful and conducted in accordance
with recognised international democratic norms, and
that there was no evidence of systemic manipulation
of the process,” the UK government said.
In a new book presented to the public in Lagos
yesterday, former President Goodluck Jonathan said
he lost the 2015 elections to local and international
conspiracies. He named the United States, Britain,
and France as the conspirators.


He blamed it all on former United States President
Barack Obama, ex-British Prime Minister David
Cameron and French President Francois Hollande for
aiding President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory.
Dr Jonathan also said he was disappointed by the
conduct of the immediate past Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC),
Prof. Attahiru Jega, in the weeks preceding the
elections.


He said he conceded defeat to avoid bloodshed in
view of a similar experience after the 2011 poll.
He said: “President Barack Obama and his officials
made it very clear to me by their actions that they
wanted a change of government in Nigeria and we’re
ready to do anything to achieve that purpose. They
even brought some naval ships into the Gulf of
Guinea in the days preceding the election.
“I got on well with Prime Minister David Cameron but
at some point, I noticed that the Americans were
putting pressure on him and he had to join them
against me. But I didn’t realise how far President
Obama was prepared to go to remove me until
France caved into the pressure from America.



“But weeks to the election, he had also joined the
Americans in supporting the opposition against me.
Asked of Obama’s grouse against him, Jonathan
added: “There was this blanket accusation that my
body language was supporting corruption, a line
invented by the opposition but which the media and
civil society bought into and helped to project to the
world. That was the same thing I kept hearing from
the Americans without specific allegations.

Ooh, he actually thought that seat was a birthright'.

Oga, Nigerians aided Buhari to boot you out, stop blaming anybody for your buffoonery.

Blaming someone for your failure...Is that right?

But from US point of view Russian intervened intside their own election. My own case is that their intervention into Nigerian election cause more wahala.

IF GEJ HAD WON THE 2015 GENERAL ELECTION,
NIGERIA WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOTED OUT OF THE WORLD MAP BY NOW
GLORY & PRAISE BE TO THE ALMIGHTY FOR HELPING US TO VOTE WISELY.

No. You didn't. Obama was the hatchet man and Saudi Arabia. God help them with Osinbajo.

You never made your choice, they made you vote their choice. Voting wisely is out of it, the National Conscience Party candidate, Engr Martins Onovo would have been the wisest choice. But they instead cajoled you in voting in this destroyer all in the name of change. And they have been in chains since then.

This one that everybody is replying book hope they are not mad like this..?

Buhari is a vegetable

Let's be truthful to ourselves

America , Britain and the French are still influencing elections in Africa

Though am not a fan of Gej ,

But truth be told, The Americans and the British had a hand in his removal,

The tried to sabotage his war on Boko haram , by refusing to sell him fighter jets and other weapons,
Using human rights abuse as an excuse.
But all of a sudden,
The are about to sell weapons to the Buhari government,
Under whose watch,
More innocent people(Shittes and Ipob protesters) were killed by our Military in one year,
Than throughout Jonathan's six year rule

gd

When you see yourself as an architect of your progress or retrogressive means, without blaming anyone, then you are a responsible soul who wanted to "stand corrected " You have power, money influence the next is your ability to firmly control it in effect positive results.. it would give you leverages before the mass. Jonathan failed woefully in that attestation.

USA had a direct involvement in the elections. UK just turned a blind eye and followed USA like a lapdog


David Cameron was reduced to a stooge of Obama throughout his tenure. He reciprocated all the liberal polices in US even though he was conservative

This buffoonery should stop now .... you booted out by Nigerians tired of your corrupt ways and ineptitude. Jonathan should follow his own advice.

Wailers will be like
