UK Replies Jonathan, Says Nigerians Chose Buhari In 2015

The British Government has denied allegation that it conspired with others to ensure the defeat of former president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, in the 2015 general election.

A statement issued by the Press and Public Affairs Officer of the British High Commission in Nigeria, Mr. Joe Abuku says that President Muhammadu Buhari won the election with the backing of majority of Nigerians.

Britain insists that the only role it played in the election was the engagement with Nigerians and their leaders prior to the elections to make it non-violent, free and fair.

Former President Jonathan had in a book: “Against The Run Of Play,” written by the Chairman of the Editorial Board of Thisday Newspaper, Olusegun Adeniyi, alleged that former British Prime Minister, David Cameron, connived with former United States President Barack Obama, among other world leaders, to push him out of office.
