Former President Goodluck Jonathan has denied that his administration rejected a British offer to rescue Chibok girls, as alleged by a former U.K. prime minister, David Cameron.
The former president said he even authorised a secret deployment of troops from the UK, the U.S, and Israel. “So how Mr. Cameron could say this with a straight face beats me,” he wrote.I read the comments by former British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in his new book, For the Record, in which he accused me and the Nigerian Government, which I headed, of corruption and rejecting the help of the British Government in rescuing the Chibok Girls, who were kidnapped on April 14, 2014.
In his book, Mr. Cameron failed to mention that I wrote him requesting his help on Chibok. Why did he suppress that information? I remind him that copies of that letter exist at the State Houses in Nigeria and London. He never called me on the phone to offer any help. On the contrary, I am the one that reached out to him.
On July 24, 2013, while celebrating the passage of the United Kingdom’s Marriage Act, 2013, Mr. Cameron said “I want to export gay marriage around the world”. As such, on Monday, January 13, 2014, I signed the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill into law after the Bill had been passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority of Nigeria’s parliament, in line with the wishes of the Nigerian people. This happened shortly after a study of 39 nations around the world by the U.S. Pew Research Center came up with a finding which indicated that 98 percent of Nigerians were opposed to the idea of Gay Marriage.
All the lies for failing to 'export' gay marriage to Nigeria. Cameron and Obama are evil! In a bid to remove Jonathan, you supported terrorists affiliated with the then opposition. You also denied arms to fight the terror you created BarackObama, David_Cameron , GEJonathan
Did anyone else notice the decorum in the reply. No much grammar or drama..... I know President Jonathan lacked some presidential guts... He is a good man. I didn't vote for him in 2015 But I definitely will NEVER VOTE FOR Buhari. BUHARI has guts but LACKs mental capacity
Now that we've new sheriff what's stopping the UK, USA and France from rescuing the chibok girls? eX-UK Prime Minister is not only a liar but an enemy to Africa.
Granted, David Cameron may be exaggerating, but GEJ asking the world to come and rescue girls kidnapped inside Nigeria shows how hopeless his leadership was. Humiliating admission!
I'd save you a click ' Former President Goodluck Jonathan has denied that his administration rejected a British offer to rescue Chibok girls, as alleged by a former U.K. prime minister, David Cameron.'
Cameron needs to respond to this since he started this talk.
GEJonathan We know the truth sir, God will continue to defend you against enemies. You remain the best President ever.
The ruling party knows that GEJ has said the truth nothing but the truth.
History will continue to remember you as a father with large heart. A detribalied Nigerian GEJonathan
I believe Sir
Hmmm
