My Life Is In Danger – Former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Cries Out

– Okah is after my life – Goodluck Jonathan cries out..

– The ex-president’s claim comes on the heels of accusations that he is a sponsor of the NDA

– Jonathan has denied the allegations, claiming that it was part of an attempt to assassinate him

– GEJ said MEND has been seeking to kill him even while he was vice-president of Nigeria

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, ex-president of Nigeria has raised an alarm that his life is under threat by militants.

In a statement made by his media aide, Ikechukwu Eze on Sunday August 7, Jonathan said the list of sponsors by the splinter group Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) was political, adding that it was part of an attempt to assassinate him.

The statement read in part:-

“Since it is not in our place to speak for all those named in the obvious fabrication, we are only intervening to the extent that its hidden intent poses a violent threat to the life of former President Goodluck Jonathan, a committed patriot.

“We are seized by the feeling of déjà vu occasioned by the resurrection of one dim character masquerading as Cynthia Whyte, who had in the past served as the spokesperson for a notorious group that had all along shown its hand to be going after the life of former President Jonathan.”

The former President recalled that in 2007, after he emerged as the running mate of the late President Umar Yar’Adua, the group invaded Yenogoa in an effort to assassinate him.

He added that the members of the group later bombed his compound in Otuoke, Bayelsa state, on a night he was scheduled to attend to an important matter in his country home.

“Do we need to remind anybody that the so-called Cynthia Whyte is the self-declared spokesperson for the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, a violent and murderous underground group led by one Henry Okah, which has not hidden its intention to destroy the former President?” Jonathan stressed.

Jonathan said that the list, which named him and other South-South leaders as Niger Delta Avengers sponsors, was another attempt by the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), to eliminate him.

According to him, the bombing that took place on October 1, 2010 at the Eagle Square, Abuja, showed that the group was violent and is sure after his life.
