- APC has asked Goodluck Jonathan not to defend himself against David Cameron

- According to the ruing party, Nigerians already know that Jonathan was negligent as a president

- Going further, the APC said Jonathan should explain to the families of those whose children were kidnapped why he did not do anything for two weeks

The ruling All Progress Congress (APC) has backed former British prime minister who accused former Nigeria president, Goodluck Jonathan, of refusing help, when 274 schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists in Chibok, Borno state back in 2014.

According to the ruling party, Jonathan should not have denied the allegations raised by the former British prime minister because Nigerians already know the story of Jonathan's negligence to matters of state during his administration.

According to the APC in statement signed by Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, national publicity secretary of the party, Jonathan's actions and inaction are already part of Nigeria's history.
