JUST IN: Jonathan reacts to alleged speech on Niger Delta not being part of Biafra

Former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has reacted to a purported speech he made on Biafra and Niger Delta.

Jonathan was mired in controversy recently after several online mediums reported that he gave a speech titled ‘Why Niger Deltans don’t want to be part of Biafra’.

Denying the report in a statement signed by his media aide, Ikechukwu Eze, Mr Jonathan described the reports as ‘Falsehood’ adding that he has never made any speech in support or against Biafra.

“The story which is being recycled in some online platforms claimed that the former President allegedly spoke on the relationship between the people of the Niger Delta and South-East states while addressing the broader issue of agitation for Biafra.”

“We thought we had finally dealt with the issue of this falsehood with our timely and well-publicised disclaimer, soon after the supposed speech first surfaced online in 2017.”

“However, it beggars belief that the same jejune and disastrous effort at speech writing, hatched by some yet-to-be-identified shady character, is again being served to the social media public as a fresh dish. We want to clearly state, as we did in 2017, that there was no such event involving the former President and that Dr Goodluck Jonathan will never present such a sloppy and hate-filled speech.”
