“Forget about what they are talking on social media, the case is different. Former President Goodluck Jonathan was my friend.
Jonathan didn’t fail because I failed him, he chose to fail. I told him how to win the election but he didn’t want to do it.
For he did not hearken to the counsel of a man of God, and he perished. “I told him to remove Jega, that Jega had already betrayed him but he refused to remove Jega,” he said.
