Buhari won 2015 election because Nigerians wanted you out - US replies Jonathan
The US Government stated this while responding to an
allegation by Jonathan, that former American President Barack Obama, was
responsible for his loss.
He had said, “President Barack Obama and his officials made
it very clear to me by their actions that they wanted a change of government in
Nigeria and we’re ready to do anything to achieve that purpose.
“They even brought some naval ships into the Gulf of Guinea
in the days preceding the election.
“I got on well with Prime Minister David Cameron but at some
point, I noticed that the Americans were putting pressure on him and he had to
join them against me.
“But I didn’t realise how far President Obama was prepared to
go to remove me until France caved in to the pressure from America.
“But weeks to the election, he had also joined the Americans
in supporting the opposition against me.”
In response, US Embassy spokesman, Russel Brooks, said the
country advocated a free and fair election.
“The US advocated a free, fair and transparent election. The
election outcome was an expression of the will of the Nigerian people,” Brooks
said.
