Nigeria’s former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has denied media reports that he was on a self-imposed exile to Cote d’Ivoire.
Reno Omokri, the former media aide to Jonathan, disclosed this via a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle, @renoomokiri, on Monday.
“I’m in touch with former President @GEJonathan and I have spoken to Nduka Obaigbena. The story on GEJ exile is false #GEJISNOTONEXILE,” he tweeted.
“The @GEJonathan has absolutely no reason to even contemplate exile. He is proud of his meritorious service to Nigeria #GEJISNOTONEXILE.
“Furthermore, @GEJonathan is a man of peace whose future isn’t worth the blood of any Nigerian. He has no link to violence #GEJISNOTONEXILE.
“@GEJonathan assures Nigerians that he’s been on a multi-city speaking tour & will return to Nigeria afterward as planned. #GEJISNOTONEXILE.”
There were reports that the former president had embarked on self-imposed exile for fear of being arrested by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
