Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has denied ever stating that former President Muhammadu Buhari had any connection with Boko Haram. In a statement addressing recent speculations, Jonathan emphasized that comments attributed to him suggesting Buhari’s involvement with the terrorist group were false and taken out of context.
Jonathan explained that his remarks during a 2015 interview were misinterpreted. He had referenced general concerns about political violence during elections, not specific allegations against Buhari. The former president urged the public and media to verify information before spreading claims, stressing the importance of unity in addressing Nigeria’s security challenges.
This clarification comes amid renewed discussions on social media about past political rivalries and their impact on national security.
