Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
The United States has refuted claims made by former President Goodluck Jonathan that Barack Obama played a role in his defeat at the 2015 Presidential election. The United States, on Wednesday, declared that the election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 was the expression of the will of Nigerians. It said it had no hand in the defeat suffered by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The US government said this in response to allegations by Jonathan that his electoral defeat in the 2015 election was partly caused by former US President Barack Obama and his officials.
He alleged that the US worked with France and the United Kingdom to frustrate his failed re-election bid in 2015.
“The US advocated a free, fair and transparent election. The election outcome was an expression of the will of the Nigerian people,” the US embassy spokesman, Russel Brooks, said on Wednesday.
