Former President under the PDP, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has reacted to the recent news of a group, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association, buying APC presidential form worth N100 million for him.
In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Mr. Ikechukwu Eze, former President Jonathan averred as follows;
“It has come to the notice of the Office of His Excellency Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, that a group has purportedly purchased Presidential Nomination and Expression of Interest forms, of the All Progressives Congress (the APC), in his name.
We wish to categorically state that Dr. Jonathan was not aware of this bid and did not authorise it.
While we appreciate the overwhelming request by a cross-section of Nigerians, for Dr. Jonathan to make himself available for the 2023 Presidential election, we wish to state that he has not in any way, committed himself to this request.
We thank the general public for their concern, as we continue to encourage citizen participation in the affairs of the country.
