Buhari's Spokesperson Slams Jonathan Over Boko Haram Mediator Claim

Malam Garba Shehu, spokesperson for late President Muhammadu Buhari, has criticized former President Goodluck Jonathan for allegedly lying about Buhari's role in Boko Haram negotiations. Shehu accused Jonathan of falsehood and targeting the 2027 presidential election.

The statement follows Jonathan's claims made during a book presentation where he discussed Buhari's involvement in the insurgency. Shehu also recounted a 2014 bomb attack on Buhari and his staff's injuries.

The exchange highlights the political tensions surrounding the Boko Haram crisis and the narratives surrounding past administrations' handling of the insurgency.
