Former President Goodluck Jonathan has denied
entering into any peace deal with the Boko Haram
sect.
In an interview with Quartz, a news website, on the
sidelines of his recent press conference at Geneva,
Switzerland, Jonathan said his government did not
set up any negotiating team.
“I did not negotiate with Boko Haram. The
government never set up a team,” Quartz quoted
him as saying.
Back then, top government officials including
Reuben Abati, Jonathan’s spokesman and Hassan
Tukur, principal private secretary of the former
president, confirmed the phantom peace deal.
Tukur had told the Voice of America that the
government was meeting with Danladi Ahmadu,
Boko Haram’s representative, and high-level
officials from Chad and Cameroon.
Subsequently, Abati buttressed Tukur’s statement
by saying he was optimistic that the talks would
produce “concrete and positive”.
But Abubakar Shekau, leader of the
group, embarrassed the immediate past
government in a video, which he released weeks
after the sect staged several attacks, which
contradicted the terms of the said peace pact.
“We have not made ceasefire with anyone. We did
not negotiate with anyone… It’s a lie. It’s a lie. We
will not negotiate. What is our business with
negotiation? Allah said we should not,” Shekau had
said.
Jonathan also denied the allegations of corruption
against his government, saying he knows that “one
day the truth will come out”.
“Sometimes people think that I was president since
the independence (of Nigeria) and not for five
years. Sometimes they say that we have lost over
$150 billion in funds in the five years that I was
president,” he said.
Making reference to allegations of missing money
made by Sanusi Lamido, former Central Bank
governor, Jonathan said: “Because of politics, some
people come up with more money and say that
$49.8 billion were missing within 18 months.
“The same person who raised the issue, within two
days said the money was $12 billion, and the two
days later said it was $20 billion.
“Regarding the $9 billion, the truth will come out.”

One thing am very glad about is the fact that the Ineffectual buffoon has started opening his mouth. Very soon, the buffoon will start implicating himself.

He claims there was no peace deal, not even a dialogue with boko haram, yet his aide reuben abati said otherwise. With all the embarrassment that issue brought his administration, the buffoon didn't see it fit to sack anyone, not even abati.

This clueless hero sef!

We know you didn't negotiate with BH, rather you gave them wings to fly by starving the NA of needed warfare equipments, making multi billionaires of your aides & cronies & also staging a ruse of a fund raiser in order to divert funds for arms to your yeye campaign!

People who hero worship this Jona should be neutered..... someone who was governor, VP & President & couldn't transform ordinary Otuoke not to talk of Bayelsa!!

Abeg, make e shift jare...

& Reuben Abati too shud use hand take cover hin face, pottage made that one too lose hin conscience & sense of decency.

Yea, u're right! U didn't negotiate with them because the first time u tried to do it, they ripped u off big time like the mumu wey u be!

Not that I support NOI, but she 'tries' to respond to allegations regarding her tenure as 'Thief' Minister of the Economy. GEJ just dey waka upandan like goat wey belle dey turn am.

Who negotiated the failed cease fire?
Was he not alive when his aides were claiming to have negotiated a cease fire with the terrorists? How did he handle the matter?

This man is really an ineffectual buffoon.

Oh yeah. Like we didn't read the news where you (Jonathan) and your cohorts came out and said you've read and signed a peace agreement with Boko Haram, so much so that you even paraded a Danladi Ahmadu was a spokesperson for the so called Boko Haram.

Oga Jona, abeg stop to dey lie, Naija peeps no say na lie you sabi lie that's why dem vote you comot.
