Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has dismissed reports claiming he was offered ₦500 billion to contest the 2027 presidential election against Peter Obi in order to divide votes in Nigeria's South-South region.
In a statement issued in Abuja, Jonathan's Special Adviser on Media, Dr. Ikechukwu Eze, described the report as false, baseless, and entirely fabricated. He said the story, published by a little-known website, wrongly attributed the claim to the former president without providing any evidence.
Eze noted that the report failed to state when or where Jonathan allegedly made the statement, who made the supposed offer, or who witnessed the alleged meeting, calling it a clear example of fake news intended to mislead the public and drag Jonathan into political controversy.
He urged Nigerians to ignore the report and verify sensational political claims before sharing them, especially as the country approaches another election season, when misinformation is expected to increase.
Jonathan has therefore reaffirmed that the allegation of a ₦500 billion offer is completely untrue and should be disregarded.
