A civil rights
organisation, Vanguards of Nigeria’s Democracy, on Saturday raised the alarm
over alleged moves by President Muhammadu Buhari to “investigate, malign and
imprison” ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on trumped-up charges.
The group accused the
President and his All Progressives Congress-led administration of anti-Niger
Delta tendencies.
The group referred to
the ongoing controversy between a former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala and Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole over Excess Crude Account
and allegations as a ploy to get at former President Goodluck Jonathan.
But the Special Adviser
to the President (Media and Publicity), Mr. Femi Adesina, described the
allegation by the group as mere speculation.
Adesina asked why
people would dwell on speculations when nothing concrete has been established
against former President Jonathan.
He said, “All these are
speculations and I cannot react to speculations because there is nothing
concrete yet against the former President.”
