UK to Jonathan: We didn’t aid Buhari to defeat you ON April 29, 2017 1:06 AM / IN News / BY Nwafor Polycarp / Comments By Soni Daniel THE British Government has washed off its hands over allegation by former President Goodluck Jonathan that its former Prime Minister, David Cameron, connived with other world leaders to edge him out office. Jonathan in a new book launched on Friday, accused Cameron, former United States President, Barak Obama and other world leaders of aiding his rival, Muhammadu Buhari to win the last general election. But in a quick reaction, the British Government in a statement issued by its High Commission in Nigeria and signed by the Press and Public Affairs Officer, Mr. Joe Abuku, said that the election was a Nigerian project and that the British Government did not interfere with the polls in any way. It said, “Prior to the 2015 elections in Nigeria, the UK engaged with Nigerian political parties and their leaders to urge them to run a fair, non violent campaign and allow Nigerian voters to decide who their future political leadership would be. We congratulated President Jonathan on having handed over power peacefully in 2015 having lost the Nigerian Presidential elections. “The elections were a credit to the Nigerian people and a truly historic moment for Nigerian democracy. This process further strengthened Nigeria’s democratic tradition. President Muhammadu Buhari bids farewell to the former President Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan after a close door meeting at the State House in Abuja “The UK welcomes the assessment of independent observers, including the EU, that Nigeria’s elections were largely peaceful and conducted in accordance with recognised international democratic norms, and that there was no evidence of systemic manipulation of the process,” the UK government said. In a new book presented to the public in Lagos yesterday, former President Goodluck Jonathan said he lost the 2015 elections to local and international conspiracies. He named the United States, Britain, and France as the conspirators. He blamed it all on former United States President Barack Obama, ex-British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Hollande for aiding President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory. Dr Jonathan also said he was disappointed by the conduct of the immediate past Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, in the weeks preceding the elections. He said he conceded defeat to avoid bloodshed in view of a similar experience after the 2011 poll. He said: “President Barack Obama and his officials made it very clear to me by their actions that they wanted a change of government in Nigeria and we’re ready to do anything to achieve that purpose. They even brought some naval ships into the Gulf of Guinea in the days preceding the election. “I got on well with Prime Minister David Cameron but at some point, I noticed that the Americans were putting pressure on him and he had to join them against me. But I didn’t realise how far President Obama was prepared to go to remove me until France caved into the pressure from America. “But weeks to the election, he had also joined the Americans in supporting the opposition against me. Asked of Obama’s grouse against him, Jonathan added: “There was this blanket accusation that my body language was supporting corruption, a line invented by the opposition but which the media and civil society bought into and helped to project to the world. That was the same thing I kept hearing from the Americans without specific allegations. www.vanguardngr.com/2017/04/uk-jonathan-didnt-aid-buhari-defeat/. |

ALMUSTAQIM: You never made your choice, they made you vote their choice. Voting wisely is out of it, the National Conscience Party candidate, Engr Martins Onovo would have been the wisest choice. But they instead cajoled you in voting in this destroyer all in the name of change. And they have been in chains since then. 2 Likes |

Let's be truthful to ourselves America , Britain and the French are still influencing elections in Africa Though am not a fan of Gej , But truth be told, The Americans and the British had a hand in his removal, The tried to sabotage his war on Boko haram , by refusing to sell him fighter jets and other weapons, Using human rights abuse as an excuse. But all of a sudden, The are about to sell weapons to the Buhari government, Under whose watch, More innocent people(Shittes and Ipob protesters) were killed by our Military in one year, Than throughout Jonathan's six year rule 3 Likes |

When you see yourself as an architect of your progress or retrogressive means, without blaming anyone, then you are a responsible soul who wanted to "stand corrected " You have power, money influence the next is your ability to firmly control it in effect positive results.. it would give you leverages before the mass. Jonathan failed woefully in that attestation. |

USA had a direct involvement in the elections. UK just turned a blind eye and followed USA like a lapdog David Cameron was reduced to a stooge of Obama throughout his tenure. He reciprocated all the liberal polices in US even though he was conservative 2 Likes |
