Boko Haram: Jonathan reacts to allegation of stopping Britain from rescuing abducted Chibok school
Cameron had disclosed that the then government of Jonathan did not give enough support to Britain after the abduction of 274 schoolgirls from Chibok, Borno State in 2014 in order to enable their rescue.
The statement reads: “I read the comments by former British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in his new book, For the Record, in which he accused me and the Nigerian Government, which I headed, of corruption and rejecting the help of the British Government in rescuing the Chibok Girls, who were kidnapped on April 14, 2014.
“Moreover, on March 8, 2017, the British Government of former Prime Minister, Theresa May, in a widely circulated press statement, debunked this allegation and said there was no truth in it after Mr. Cameron had made similar statements to the Observer of the UK. “I do, however, know that Mr. Cameron has long nursed deep grudges against me for reasons that have been published in various media.
“As President of Nigeria at that time, I came under almost unbearable pressure from the Cameron administration to pass legislation supporting LGBTQ Same Sex marriage in Nigeria. My conscience could not stomach that, because as President of Nigeria, I swore on the Bible to advance Nigeria’s interests, and not the interest of the United Kingdom or any foreign power.
