Why I rejected Jonathan’s job offer – Sowore

Former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has claimed that he declined the offer to work with former president, Goodluck Jonathan.

Sowore revealed this in an interview on ‘State of the Nation’ with Leadership TV on Thursday.

According to him, he rejected the offer due to the calibre of people under Jonathan’s administration.

“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.
