Activist politician and former African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has made an allegation on Thursday against ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
He claimed Jonathan sent an emissary to look for him with money in the United Kingdom, UK.
Sowore said Jonathan offered him an opportunity to work in his then government but he turned down the offer.
He disclosed this in an interview on ‘State of the Nation’ with LEADERSHIP TV.
“When Goodluck became president, he sent a man to come look for me in Breton with money, but I declined, telling him I cannot work with the people under his administration,” Sowore said.
He explained that he had been close to a friend who was actively involved in challenging the political establishment during the tenure of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
Sowore suggested that Jonathan was the only politician he might have had some level of connection with, but he remained firm in his stance against working with his government.
