Former President Goodluck Jonathan has replied Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron over his recent statement that Jonathan did not allow the UK to rescue Chibok Girls from Boko Haram.

In a statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA, Jonathan wrote;

“I read the comments by former British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in his new book, For the Record, in which he accused me and the Nigerian Government, which I headed, of corruption and rejecting the help of the British Government in rescuing the Chibok Girls, who were kidnapped on April 14, 2014.”

“It is quite sad that Mr. Cameron would say this because nothing of such ever occurred. As President of Nigeria, I not only wrote letters to then Prime Minister David Cameron, I also wrote to the then US President, Barrack Obama, and the then French President, François Hollande, as well as the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, appealing to them for help in rescuing the Chibok Girls.”

“How could I write to appeal for help and then reject the very thing I appealed for?”

“Also, history contradicts Mr. Cameron. On March 8, 2012, when the same Boko Haram linked terrorists abducted a British expatriate named Chris McManus, along with an Italian hostage Franco Lamolinara, in Sokoto, I, as Nigerian President, personally authorised a rescue effort by members of the British military Special Boat Service supported by officers and men of the Nigerian Army, to free the abducted men.”

“So, having set a precedent like that, why would I reject British help in rescuing the Chibok Girls, if it was offered? I also authorised the secret deployment of troops from the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel as a result of the Chibok incident, so how Mr. Cameron could say this with a straight face beats me.”

“Moreover, on March 8, 2017, the British Government of former Prime Minister, Theresa May, in a widely circulated press statement, debunked this allegation and said there was no truth in it after Mr. Cameron had made similar statements to the Observer of the UK.”

“In his book, Mr. Cameron failed to mention that I wrote him requesting his help on Chibok. Why did he suppress that information? I remind him that copies of that letter exist at the State Houses in Nigeria and London. He never called me on the phone to offer any help. On the contrary, I am the one that reached out to him.”

“He accused me of appointing Generals based on political considerations. How could that be when I fired my service chiefs twice in five years, to show that I would not tolerate anything less than meaningful progress in the war on terror.”

“I was completely blind to ethnic or political considerations in my appointments. In civil and military matters, I appointed people that I had never even met prior to appointing them, based on their professional pedigree. Though I was from the South, most of my service chiefs came from the North.”

“I do, however, know that Mr. Cameron has long nursed deep grudges against me for reasons that have been published in various media.”

“On July 24, 2013, while celebrating the passage of the United Kingdom’s Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, 2013, Mr. Cameron said “I want to export gay marriage around the world”.”

“At that occasion, he boasted that he would send the team that successfully drafted and promoted the Bill, to nations, like Nigeria, saying inter alia:

“I’ve told the Bill team I’m now going to reassign them because, of course, all over the world people would have been watching this piece of legislation”.

As President of Nigeria at that time, I came under almost unbearable pressure from the Cameron administration to pass legislation supporting LGBTQ Same-Sex marriage in Nigeria. My conscience could not stomach that, because as President of Nigeria, I swore on the Bible to advance Nigeria’s interests, and not the interest of the United Kingdom or any foreign power.”

“As such, on Monday, January 13, 2014, I signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill into law after the Bill had been passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority of Nigeria’s parliament, in line with the wishes of the Nigerian people. This happened shortly after a study of 39 nations around the world by the U.S. Pew Research Center came up with a finding which indicated that 98 percent of Nigerians were opposed to the idea of Gay Marriage.”

“Immediately after I took this patriotic action, my government came under almost unbearable pressure from Mr. Cameron, who reached me through envoys, and made subtle and not so subtle threats against me and my government.”

“In fact, meetings were held at the Obama White House and at the Portcullis House in Parliament UK, with the then Nigerian opposition to disparage me, after I had signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill into law.

On the issue of corruption, it suffices to say that Mr. Cameron is not as competent as Transparency International, which is globally acknowledged as the adjudicator of who is corrupt and who is not.”

“During my administration, in 2014, Nigeria made her best ever improvement on the annual Transparency International Corruption Perception Index, moving from 144 the previous year, to 136, an 8 point improvement. As a nation, we have not made such improvements on the CPI before or after 2014.”

“In line with these facts, I would urge the public to take Mr. Cameron’s accusations with a grain of salt. I will not be the first person to accuse him of lying on account of this book, and with the reactions in the Uk so far, I definitely will not be the last.”

Jona I miss you oo!!

shamecurls:
Jonathan tells too much lies


But most most of the lies are born out of excessive alcohol.

it takes a drunkard to recognize another drunkard...

nototribalist:
Obama and Cameron fcked up our country by removing Goodluck.


Now they have crazy Trump and stubborn Boris Johnson

karma is a bitch...

Simplyleo:
In this case, the same "infallible" US will be called names by the same miscreants who held them in high esteem for saying things against their god goatluck jonadaaft.

Just imagine a similar statement coming from the present administration to the "infallible" US.

That is what happens when one is buried in hate thereby being controlled by nothing else but emotion.

It seems like you are tell us who you are and not the other way round

mercyviv:
Mr Jonathan, stop defending the obvious. We all knew you could have rescued those girls on different occasions but didnt, due to certain political and some emotional circumstances beyond your control!
Meanwhile...

being a woman I understand your emotional viewpoint but always try to be honest. U mean he intentionly refuse to rescue the girls...do u know that this man is a father?

Racoon:
The main pain of these western imperialists was the overt refusal of the Jonathan govt to pass the legislation supporting LGBT/Same-Sex marriage in Nigeria.The conspirators in the BH menace all have their day with histroy.Karma is already paying them back.

Oga let's be fact-driven. Jonathan was under no pressure to pass same-sex marriage into law because the bill was never raised by the legislature.
The president couldnt have single-handedly signed a bill without the legislature.
The only bill raised and passed was the anti same-sex.

justtoodark:
you think days of sodom and gomarrha in the bible was a joke....??

it was so bad,it was mentioned in the bible....

jonathan still failed,he had a dangerous army amongst armies in the world and was still trying to please his enemies....i asked for what....??

gay....??
i met alot of gays in my life and i had no urge to harm them,i found them strange but nothing against them....
but when they start trying to force all people to think like them,then thats a problem....

They are not forcing to think like them, they just want people to tolerate them and not treat them like trash or vermin, you don't have to like them just let them be who they are rather than lynching them or burning them alive because they are not like you

TEYA:
In your puny little mind you think GEJ is more relevant than Cameron? Typical Nigerian man! When you support a politician you throw your brains to the dogs. No wonder we have Goodluck and Buhari zombies littering everywhere, while the capacity for objective thinking goes extinct.

Oponu! I'm so sure you didn't read his response. You only responded like a programmed zombie. PLS READ BEFORE YOU TALK.

Nigeria's best president. Far ahead of his time

the time buhari came to the uk around the time he was installed as president and attending the commonwealth of nations meeting.. Cameroon said that some leaders from very corrupt countries were here

NgeneUkwenu:

You have Yoruba passport over you.

It's only enemies of Nigeria like you that hates GEJ. I indeed know that GEJ is regretting ever trusting yorubas that worked with him....

TheAngry1:
If you call every allegation leveled against you a lie, chances are that you are the LIAR! GEJ is both a liar and a kleptomaniac. Fact.
