...”I witnessed a lot of betrayal during the 2015 elections”. Goodluck Jonathan.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said that betrayal remains a dominant feature of Nigerian politics, recalling his own experience during the 2015 general elections.
Dr. Jonathan made the remark in Benin City at the 70th birthday celebration of his former Chief of Staff, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe.
According to the former President, most politicians in the country are unreliable, often changing positions to suit circumstances.
He said, “Politics in the Nigerian standard is about betrayals. I witnessed a lot of betrayal during the 2015 elections. You will hardly find someone who will say the same thing in the morning, afternoon, and evening.”
Jonathan, however, described Chief Oghiadomhe as an exception, stressing that he is a dependable ally who remained loyal and trustworthy.
The former President added that Oghiadomhe was a man whose word could be trusted and one who would stand firmly for his associates.
Chief Oghiadomhe, a former deputy governor of Edo State, also served as Jonathan’s Chief of Staff between 2010 and 2014.
