Sources close to former Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has informed that he did not visit Bola Tinubu, the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to congratulate him.
According to the source, the widely circulated assumption is being masterminded by political mischief makers bent on spreading false narratives, thus, it should be dismissed as untrue.
The speculation went viral after Jonathan was pictured with Tinubu late on Tuesday, February 28, in a very cordial position.
Jonathan who led other members of the West African Elders Forum (WAEF), including former Ghanaian President, John Mahama, on election mission to Nigeria, also met with Labour Party’s Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
Other members of the delegation were former Beninese President Boni Yayi; former President if Sierra Leone Ernest Bai Koroma; former President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta; former Vice President of The Gambia, Fatoumata Tambajang; former Burkinabe Prime Minister and President of the Economic Community of West African States Kadre Ouedraogo, and former Deputy Chair of the African Union, Dr. Erastus Mwencha.
