Former President Goodluck Jonathan says Nigeria’s political space is full of betrayals and lies.
Jonathan, who is being inticed by some Northern politicians to join the 2027 presidential race, said this in Benin City, Edo State, during the 70th birthday ceremony of his former Chief of Staff and former deputy governor of Edo State, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe, which attracted many dignitaries including former governors Lucky Igbinedion, Osarhiemen Osunbor and Adams Oshiomhole and Ibrahim Dakwambo of Gombe State and others.
He said Oghiadomhe was an ally that can be trusted all time.
“I became president, then post presidency, one of the few friends that can give up their necks for me is Mike. You know politics in the Nigerian standard is about betrayals.
“You find it difficult to see somebody who will say the same thing in the morning and in the evening. I’ve witnessed a lot of betrayals, especially my 2015, election, and Mike is somebody who would take a bullet on my behalf.”
Many believe that the North betrayed Jonathan during the 2015 election, despite all he did to secure the region and uplift out-of-school childreen, popularly called Almajiris.
