Former President Goodluck Jonathan called Thisday newspapers yesterday
night, denying claims by the media house that he was in Cote d'Ivoire on
a self-imposed exile for fear of being arrested by EFCC operatives.
Jonathan in the interview said
“Yes I am in Cote d’Ivoire, I have been here for a week resting and this
is my second trip to the country since I stepped down as president. I
have made sacrifices for Nigeria. I am praised all over Africa for
averting bloodshed and for the peaceful transition from one government
to another, but it seems Nigeria does not appreciate my efforts. I have
done my best for this country and if I have to die for it, I will do so.
However, I am taking it easy here (Cote d’Ivoire) and when I am ready, I
will come back,” he said
