FORMER President Goodluck
Jonathan has denied that he has
resigned from the main
opposition, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
According to a statement in
Abuja on Sunday by Ikechukwu
Eze, Media Adviser to the former
president, a ‘fake story’ had
claimed that Jonathan had
dumped the party on whose
platform he rose to the post of
the President of Nigeria.
The statement said the story was
borne out of mischief as the
former President never spoke to
any news outlet on the subject
matter.
The statement added: “Obviously,
this is a fabrication borne out of
mischief as the publishers of the
fake story claimed that the
former President made the
statement while being
interviewed by Nigeria News
Agency, (NNA).
“There is absolutely no way the
former President could have
spoken to a non-existent news
agency, as none in the country
goes by that name.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr
Jonathan has no reason at this
time to resign his membership of
PDP, the party under which
platform he became Deputy
Governor, Governor, Vice
President and President.
“Those who derive pleasure in
spreading fake information had
better occupy themselves with
more productive endeavours
that are obviously more relevant
to nation-building.”
