Nigeria’s former president, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is still a member of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, he has not quitted the party following the fallout of the 2019 general election as its being speculated in some quarters.
His media adviser, Ikechukwu Eze said the clarification became necessary following a fake story published by an unknown website, alleging that former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said this is a fabrication borne out of mischief as the publishers of the fake story claimed that the former President made the statement while being interviewed by Nigeria News Agency (NNA).
“There is absolutely no way the former President could have spoken to a non-existent news agency, as none in the country goes by that name”, Eze stated
Jonathan’s aide added, “For the avoidance of doubt, Dr. Jonathan has no reason at this time to resign his membership of PDP, the party under which platform he became Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President and President. Those who derive pleasure in spreading fake information had better occupy themselves with more productive endeavours that are obviously more relevant to nation building”.
