Goodluck Jonathan warns Nigerians about people out to 'tarnish' his image

Former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in a post on his Facebook account on Sunday, March 25, warned Nigerians of an impending accusation against him by people he claimed are out to ruin his reputation.

The former president, who is set to jet out of the country to Sierra Leone, made this post after an allegation in the news that a billionaire supporter of his hired Cambridge Analytica to hack into President Muhammadu Buhari's health and financial records ahead of 2015 election.

Recall that Legit.ng earlier reported that an oil billionaire supporter of Jonathan reportedly hired SCL, a data analytics company, to paint President Muhammadu Buhari bad in the buildup to the 2015 elections.

Jonathan, in his Facebook post, said: "It has been brought to my attention that while I am away promoting democracy in Sierra Leone, a campaign will be unleashed against me to falsely impugn my name using both faceless and identified persons.

"When I was in power I said my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. Even out of power, I continue to hold that belief.

"What I will say however, is that no matter how far and fast falsehood has traveled, it must eventually be overtaken by truth."
