Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has said that his attention was drawn to the constant lies being spewed from the mouth of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, against his person.
Okorocha had on Wednesday, alleged that Jonathan had offered him “huge sums of money and an influential Ministry”, in order to make him abandon the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, prior to the 2015 General Election.
In a swift reaction, Jonathan stated that there was no such encounter between him and Okorocha, adding that, it could only have happened in Okorocha’s dream.
The former President made his views known in a statement through Ikechukwu Eze, his Spokesman.
The statement read: “We offer to quickly dismiss these claims as lies, because we are clear in our minds that such conversation never happened.
“We are wondering whether this truly came from the Governor, because we are sure that even Governor Okorocha himself did not believe that anybody would accept these claims.
“In the first place, it sounded irrational and absurd. Besides, it was obvious to all and sundry that the South-East, being Dr. Jonathan’s political stronghold, the ex-President did not need Okorocha to win in the zone.
“However, to set the record straight, we make bold to say that former President, Jonathan, never made any contact with Okorocha, ahead of the 2015 elections.
“All those who had either worked closely with him in any capacity or served in Jonathan’s administration, can bear testimony to the fact that idle talk is not his style.
“Since we know that the only proof the purveyors of this bribery allegation could offer is to probably claim that the transaction happened in a dream, we can only offer the Governor sincere advice, to avoid rumours and twaddle, and get down to the business of result-oriented governance.
