Jonathan Denies Implicating Buhari in Boko Haram, Clarifies Misinterpreted Remarks
Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan refutes claims linking late President Muhammadu Buhari to Boko Haram, clarifying his remarks were misinterpreted. Jonathan's statement, issued by his Special Adviser Ikechukwu Eze, emphasized that he never implied Buhari's involvement with the terrorist group.
The controversy arose from a section in a book by former Chief of Defence Staff Lucky Irabor. Jonathan highlighted that his reference to Buhari was to illustrate Boko Haram's deceptive tactics, not to accuse Buhari.
The clarification aimed to address the misleading reports and ensure the public understands the context of his comments accurately.
