I am not in exile -Former President Jonathan
FORMER President, Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan insisted, yesterday, that he is not on self-exile in
Côte d’Ivoire as alleged, even as friends and family asserted that he
had no cause to permanently relocate from the country.
A close political associate, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, who spoke to Vanguard
after speaking with Dr. Jonathan quoted the former president thus: “I am
not in exile; it is quite unfortunate that anybody is insinuating that I
am in exile. I am now a private citizen.
Since I left office, this is
my second visit to Côte d’Ivoire; I have gone to so many countries in
recent times as part of my efforts to promote peace. What I am doing is a
global tour since leaving office, and this is my second visit to Côte
d’Ivoire.
It is unfortunate that anybody should insinuate that I am in
exile. I am not in exile. When I finish what I am doing here, I will
continue my visit all over the world.”

Engr Mike Ogiasa, a relative of the former president, also reacting to
the report said: “it is not true that the former President is on the
run. We, his kinsmen trust him.
