Former President Goodluck Jonathan has debunked media reports that he has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as well as quit active politics. He made his position known on Sunday while reacting to online publication that he had resigned from the PDP and quit politics.
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Ikechukwu Eze, Jonathan described the news as fake and a calculated attempt to rubbish his image.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr. Jonathan has no reason, at this time, to resign his membership of PDP, the party under which platform he became Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President and President.
“Those who derive pleasure in spreading fake information had better occupy themselves with more productive endeavours that are obviously more relevant to nation-building.
“Obviously, this is a fabrication borne out of mischief as the publishers of the fake story claimed that the former president made the statement while being interviewed by Nigeria News Agency, (NNA). There is absolutely no way the former president could have spoken to a non-existent news agency, as none in the country goes by that name.”
