Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has denied allegations that he accused former President Muhammadu Buhari of being connected to Boko Haram. In a recent statement, Jonathan clarified that his remarks from a 2015 interview were misconstrued.
He explained that his comments referred to general concerns about political violence during election periods, not a direct accusation against Buhari. Jonathan called on the media and public to verify information before spreading it, highlighting the importance of unity in addressing Nigeria’s security challenges.
The statement comes in response to resurfaced discussions on social media about past political rivalries and their implications for national security.
