How Obama Interfered In 2015 Election – Jonathan by deantimes(op): 12:54pm On Nov 20, 2018
Barack Obama, former president of United States of America (USA) has been accused of interfering in Nigeria’s 2015 general election.

The accusation was made by former president, Goodluck Jonathan, in his new book entitled ‘The Transition Hours’ expected to be launched in Abuja, the nation’s capital, today.

Mr Jonathan who sought re-election in the 2015 general election lost to Muhammadu Buhari, incumbent president and then candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) after the election was postponed on the basis of terrorist attacks coming from Boko Haram terrorists in some parts of the country.

Accusing Obama of interference, Jonathan said the former US leader sent his secretary of state, John Kerry, to Nigeria and made a video broadcast to Nigerians in ways designed to influence the outcome of the election against him, describing the action is humiliating.

“I can recall that President Obama sent his Secretary of State to Nigeria, a sovereign nation, to protest the rescheduling of the election. John Kerry arrived in Nigeria on Sunday January 25, 2015 and said ‘it’s imperative that these elections happen on time as scheduled’,” Jonathan said in the except of the book obtained by TheCable.

“How can the US Secretary of State know what is more important for Nigeria than Nigeria’s own government? How could they have expected us to conduct elections when Boko Haram controlled part of the North East and were killing and maiming Nigerians? Not even the assurance of the sanctity of the May 29, 2015 handover date could calm them down. In Nigeria, the constitution is very clear. No President can extend his tenure by one day.

“On March 23, 2015, President Obama himself took the unusual step of releasing a video message directly to Nigerians all but telling them how to vote. In that video, Obama urged Nigerians to open the ‘next chapter’ by their votes. Those who understood subliminal language deciphered that he was prodding the electorate to vote for the opposition to form a new government. The message was so condescending, it was as if Nigerians did not know what to do and needed an Obama to direct them.

“In his message, he said ‘all Nigerians must be able to cast their votes without intimidation or fear,’ yet his government was vehemently and publicly against the postponement of the elections to enable our military defeat Boko Haram and prevent them from intimidating voters. This was the height of hypocrisy!” the former president wrote.

POLITICS TIMES recalls that Jonathan on realising that he has lost the election placed a call Buhari congratulating him on his victory at the polls.

The feat earned the former president a global recognition as it was the first time an incumbent president lost election to the opposition in the country and ensured a smooth handover of government.

My dear President, we all know the story.

Barrack hussein Obama of the demented US 'demorats' wanted you to legalize homosexualism and Gay marriages, you refused and became his enemy.

He became a hero for we pro-bin laden nigerian muslims because he helped to install another Shariaist known as lifeless dumbohari who have now transfigurated into Jibrin El-Sudan the impostor in the Villa.


Today Husseine Obama the supporter of dumbohari the terrorist is now more useless than the 'p' in psychology in American politics.
All the candidates he campaign for all lost their elections. Even some democrat party members now avoid him like a plague while you remain respected as an ex-president and a UN-AU envoy in diplomatic peace-keeping missions.

Karma will keep raping Husseine Obama in the Anus.

Oga Jona, we know na. That vindictive mfker.

Karma visited Obama in the end. Clinton who he endorsed lost the elections. And virtually all the candidates he campaigned for in the recent mid-terms lost. All of the Western leaders from class of 2015 who played their part in foisting Buhari have lost all their influence.

Obama. Hollande that no one remembers today. Cameron who was disgraced out after Brexit. Merkel is on her last missionary journey.

Destabilized Nigeria by supporting an incompetent Islamist, ruined Libya, forgetting that Karma was going to serve a hot dish later on.

Thread go hot.

That clip was truly condescending. Imagine a Nigerian President issuing a video clip addressing Americans about voting for their president on the eve of a presidential election.

Obama behaved more or less like a lecturer-in-chief during his presidency. But little did he know history would have other ideas in his country with the election of his archrival and no-nonsense American to succeed him as POTUS after a bitter campaign.

His recent endorsements for governor in Georgia and Florida, and their eventual outcomes is a pointer to current realities. Politics would keep evolving all the same.

Re: How Obama Interfered In 2015 Election – Jonathan by Nobody: 1:05pm On Nov 20, 2018
I voted for GEJ in 2015 but will have to say this, America made the right call, the government was rotten with corruption and arrogance of PDP , i refused to vote PDP for my state and had to vote GEJ cause i felt Buhari APC was totally rubbish, how do i know this?
In this country there are two kinds of people,
1. Sinners who refused to repent
2. Sinners seeking redemption

It's obvious that Obama couldn't forgive GEJ for rejecting his LGBT madness.

God bless GEJ for being an exemplary democrat.

Of all the politicians in Nigeria and for all their corruption, Jonathan is the only one I totally have contempt for.
A few years ago, this cretin played on our sympathies and we took out Yaradua family cabal for him in compliance with our constitution. .
All through his tenure, it was "playing on sympathies" even when he and a few were looting poor, unempowered people, rigging elections, disrupting state government machinery of govts, stealing from NNPC.
As Commander In Chief of armed forces, it was also "playing on sympathies" all the way, even when they were stealing money to be used to fight Boko Haram. Some idiots actually believed Boko Haram was formed to fight him alone....sympathy, sympathy, sympathy. This is very UNMANLY .

Now he is out of government and he still wants sympathy.

Nigerians booted you out not Obama. More innstructively, PDP chieftains booted you out because you played 419. You said you were going to do only one term and handover to a northerner. Saraki, Atiku, Tambuwal, et.c ..they all booted you out. Saraki even confirmed he spent hundreds of millions to remove you.

Stop deceiving weak young people like you who think the best way to live life is like you.

A man should be staunch, principled and have a back bone.

You had 4yrs under ur watch and you couldn't defeat BH, and all of a sudden you wanted elections postponed by 2weeks to enable quickly defeat them so you could conduct elections.
This is enough to make the world suspicious of your intentions.

That notwithstanding, Nigerians didn't need an Obama to know what an innefectual president you were.

It was Nigerians who sent you packing not Obama.

Even if you context now that Obama is not in power you will still be defeated
