FACT CHECK: Did Former President Goodluck Jonathan Say That The APC Nomination Form Is An INSULT

FACT CHECK: Can you spot the difference?

RE: PURPORTED PURCHASE OF APC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION FORM FOR FORMER PRESIDENT JONATHAN

WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE ORIGINAL:

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 authorize 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.

Ikechukwu Eze Media Adviser to H.E. Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

WHAT IS REPORTED:

It has come to our notice that a group has purportedly purchased Presidential Nomination and Expression of Interest forms, of the All Progressives Congress APC, in the name of former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

We wish to categorically state that Dr. Jonathan was not aware of this bid and did not authorize it.

We want to state that if the former President wanted to contest an election, he would make his intentions clear to the public and will not enter through the back door.

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.

Buying a presidential aspiration form in the name Dr. Jonathan without his consent, knowing the position he had held in this country, is considered an insult to his person. The general public is therefore advised to disregard it.

Ikechukwu Eze Media Adviser to H.E. Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
