Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Socio-political activist, Aisha Yesufu has alleged that former presidential aide, Reuben Abati was one of those that led to the defeat of former president, Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 presidential election.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that Abati was Special Adviser on media to the former president between 2011 and 2015.<\/p>\n

Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP lost the 2015 election to late former president Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

In a post on her official X handle on Friday, Aisha alleged that Abati was first among those that led to Goodluck\u2019s failure.<\/p>\n

She wrote, \u201cIt is people that didn\u2019t know Reuben Abati @abati1990 during Jonathan that are surprised when he does or says certain things!<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you count people that led to former president Jonathan losing the 2015 election, Reuben Abati is amongst the first to be counted.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think Femi Adesina was obnoxious? You didn\u2019t meet Reuben Abati in action.\u201d<\/p>\n
