The Presidency has reacted to a
statement credited to former president Goodluck Jonathan advising President
Muhammadu Buhari Buhari against rigging elections.
Jonathan at the inauguration of
the first bridge built by Governor Fayose of Ekiti in Ado Ekiti advised Buhari
to leave behind a good name by resisting pressure to rig the July 14
governorship election in Ekiti State and subsequent elections in the country.
Reacting, Personal Assistant to
President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie said the former
president had no moral right to advise President Buhari.
Onochie noted that Jonathan
lacked moral standing to advise Buhari on democracy following accusations of
looting against him.
According to her, a man whose
name is on the lips of looters has no right to speak in public.
Onochie wrote “watching
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, a man whose name is on the lips of looters
having authorised the looting of our common wealth. He’s shamelessly on
National TV and dared to advise President Buhari on issues bothering on the
growth of democracy.
“He lacks the moral standing to
speak in public.”
PMB's greatest achievement in leading the country so far is his admitting and acknowledging GEJ's conceding defeat to him in 2015 elections and smooth transition to a new government lead by him PMB.Therefore, I'm sure the PMB will be humble enough to learn from GEJ and accept his advise on how to conduct elections!
