Obama Turned His Back On Jonathan Because Of His ‘Rotten, Corrupt’ Govt – Presidency

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has again criticised the former administration of Goodluck Jonathan.

The presidential aide in a statement on Sunday, was reacting to criticisms of her principal’s frequent visit to the United States.

She said President Buhari’s regular trips abroad are beneficial to the country, as he discusses issues of mutual benefits.

According to her, ‘Nigeria’ will not have a president who cannot travel to America.

Onochie further stated that the administration of former U.S President Barack Obama turned deaf ears to Jonathan’s government because of the corrupt nature of the immediate past Nigerian administration.

Her statement comes hours after Garba Shehu, Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, accused Obama’s government of failing to assist Nigeria in the fight against terrorism.

“President Barack Obama, an African American was pained as the President of America. He could not embrace the rotten, morbidly corrupt government in place in Nigeria at the time. He was excited when Nigerians kicked out Fortunato Looter King,” Onochie said.

“President Obama publicly announced President Buhari as doing a great job in Nigeria. Now, President Buhari is in America on a state visit to discuss issues of mutual benefits with America’s President Donald Trump.

“Here he arrives and is received by Nigerians who are obviously happy to see their hard-working leader.

“Nigerians will not have a President who cannot go to America, the home of the United Nations. There are more Nigerians in America than in many cities in Nigeria. We can’t afford to have a President they can’t meet. God forbid.”
