Africa-Press – Nigeria. Garba Shehu, media aide to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has urged ex-President Goodluck Jonathan to present a better narrative that could persuade Nigerians to vote for him in 2027.
Shehu said Jonathan’s remark was an attempt to “rewrite history” ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
He was reacting to Jonathan’s claim that Boko Haram once nominated Buhari as their negotiator with the Federal Government.
Jonathan made the disclosure while speaking at the public presentation of Scars, a book authored by former Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor (retd.), in Abuja.
The former president said the insurgents named Buhari after his then administration set up several committees to explore dialogue with the group.
Dismissing Jonathan’s claim, Shehu said Jonathan’s government was responsible for worsening insecurity at the time.
In a statement he signed, Shehu recalled how the PDP was accused of sponsoring a political wing of Boko Haram.
“To win in 2027, Dr Jonathan should look for a better story to tell Nigerians,” Shehu said.
