Former President Goodluck Jonathan has dismissed claims that he was offered N500 billion to contest the 2027 presidential election against Peter Obi in a bid to split votes in the South-South.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Ikechukwu Eze, Jonathan described the allegation as false, baseless, and a deliberate attempt to draw him into unnecessary political controversy.
Eze said the report falsely alleged that the former president admitted receiving a N500 billion offer to enter the presidential race against Obi. He also faulted the publication for failing to provide key details expected of a credible report, including when and where the alleged statement was made, who made the purported offer, or any witnesses to substantiate the claim.
