Jonathan Disowns Online Comments On Biafra And Niger Delta by Ctorch: 5:51am On May 17, 2020
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said that he never spoke on the position of Niger Delta over agitations for Biafra.

Jonathan, in a statement by his Media Adviser, Mr Ikechukwu Eze, on Saturday also disowned an online publication which claimed that he spoke on the relationship between the South East and Niger Delta.

The report was said to have also claimed that Jonathan spoke on the position of Niger Delta over agitations for Biafra in a speech he was said to have presented recently in Texas, United States.

The former president described the report as false, adding that he couldn’t have presented the purported speech because he neither travelled to the US nor sent anybody to represent him at the unnamed event.

Eze said it was the second time in three years that Jonathan would be issuing a disclaimer on the purported speech and blamed the development on the effort of some “unscrupulous people” to tarnish Jonathan’s image.

He said, “Our attention has been drawn to a fake story with the title, ‘Why Niger Deltans don’t want to be part of Biafra’ currently circulating online and purported to have been taken from a speech allegedly presented by former President Dr Goodluck Jonathan at an unnamed event in Texas, the United States.

“The story which is being recycled in some online platforms claimed that the former President allegedly spoke on the relationship between the people of the Niger Delta and South East states while addressing the broader issue of agitation for Biafra.

“We thought we had finally dealt with the issue of this falsehood with our timely and well publicised disclaimer, soon after the supposed speech first surfaced online in 2017. However, it beggars belief that the same jejune and disastrous effort at speech writing, hatched by some yet-to-be-identified shady character, is again being served to the social media public as a fresh dish.

He added, “We want to clearly state, as we did in 2017, that there was no such event involving the former President and that Dr Goodluck Jonathan will never present such a sloppy and hate-filled speech.

Guy, stop quoting me, cos you hardly make any sense. Everything to you is unnecessary attention seeking.

There are millions of people on NL you can quote and engage with.

Please stop.. Ain't interested in your back and forth argument.

Thanks

Such lengthy unnecessary debunking.

Just a line or two would have suffice

Though I can't blame him because, not debunking wild allegations in time cost him his Presidency, he let them be hoping that Nigerians would see through the lies not knowing that an average Naija IQ does not read beyond the headlines

Again Jonathan has disappointed us.


We all know that the purported write up was false and fabricated but he shouldn't have come out to deny it. He should have leave the write up that way. I like it that way.

Jonathan shouldn't have bothered debunking the fake news.


Secondly the fabricators of this write up is not far from SW ( Lagos- Ibadan) express news and Edo state or Edi-abali people. Investigate that false write up and the names called, you will agree that the write up came from such axis. Both has same character.
Aboki shut up ! Why trying to cause confusion among the south....

For stable minds it was obvious that the previous purported writeup was written by an Automated MUMU from that side across the Niger grin grin ; grin..

Whose stock in trade was nothing but a mischievous low budget Confusionist trying so hard to create disharmony between two neighbors.. grin grin grin.
