Your people, not Obama voted you out, US tells Jonathan

The United States (US) government has told former President Goodluck Jonathan to spare its immediate past President Barack Obama and officials of blames as to why he was defeated by President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential elections.

Jonathan was quoted in a new book “Against the Run of Play,” written Olusegun Adeniyi, that Obama and other US officials were bent on ensuring that he was removed from office based on unfounded allegations of corruption.

He also claimed that the former US president went as far and convincing France and the United Kingdom to work against his re-election.

But responding on Wednesday, the US embassy spokesman, Russel Brooks, said the election of Buhari in 2015 was the expression of the will of Nigerians and not manipulation by any other force.

“The US advocated a free, fair and transparent election. The election outcome was an expression of the will of the Nigerian people,” he said.
