Former president Goodluck Jonathan, has denied reports that
he has resigned as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement released by his media adviser, Ikechukwu Eze,
the former president said that a ‘fake story’ had claimed that he had dumped
the party on whose platform he rose to the post of the President of Nigeria. He
stressed that the story was borne out of mischief as the former President never
spoke to any news outlet on the subject matter.
The statement reads;
“Obviously, this is a fabrication borne out of mischief as
the publishers of the fake story claimed that the former President made the
statement while being interviewed by Nigeria News Agency, (NNA). There is
absolutely no way the former President could have spoken to a non-existent news
agency, as none in the country goes by that name.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr Jonathan has no reason at
this time to resign his membership of PDP, the party under which platform he
became Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President and President. Those who
derive pleasure in spreading fake information had better occupy themselves with
more productive endeavours that are obviously more relevant to
nation-building.”
