He said he had also not told anybody that he spoke with the Moroccan monarch.
Jonathan made the clarification in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.
There is an ongoing diplomatic row between Nigeria and Morocco over whether Jonathan recently engaged the king in a telephone conversation or not.
While the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement claiming that Jonathan spoke with the Moroccan king, authorities of the kingdom denied the claim and thereafter recalled their ambassador to Nigeria.
Abati, in the statement on Friday, said Jonathan was highly embarrassed by the controversy that erupted over the incident.
He attributed the furore over the matter to the misinformation by the ministry.
The presidential spokesman said although the President asked the ministry to arrange telephone conversations between him and King of Morocco, the President of Algeria and the President of Egypt, he had yet to speak with the Moroccan monarch.
He said, "President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is shocked, surprised and highly embarrassed by the controversy that has erupted over whether or not he had a telephone conversation with His Majesty Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteAny one that tows the PDP line always behave abnormally.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, this government has continued to ridicule Nigeria with tales and lies. Government officials talk carelessly without order and we don't know who is in charge of affairs in Nigeria anymore. The performance of the handlers of Mr. President is questionable.
ReplyDeleteThat's typical of Jonathan and his corrupt inner circle of liars. Bunch of people with no shame.
ReplyDeleteYour caption is so silly Nigerian Eye! Bows? Who and what is Morrocco that it should be of any concern to this nation!? Who accords Morrocco audience in international community!? They are a very inconsequential country compared to Nigeria! I don't know why APC is making a big deal out of this shit and even the president is responding to them! Who the hell is the morrocan king or whatever!? What nonsense! They don't deserve the presidents attention for any reason!
ReplyDeleteidiot best describes you. How dare u to compare Morocco with Nigeria ? Have u ever been there before. it's so silly of you to compare Jonathan with King Hassan
DeleteBut they do have honesty and dignity than Nigerian President and his team of liars. Thanks to them one lie of Ebele has been debunked by force. If not, they will go further to say Morocco endorsed GEJ just the way they used the patriotic Okagbare's picture for political advert without her permission. Shameless party.
DeleteThis goes to show how insensitive this man's government is. See how he is being disgraced publicly. He probably thought it was business as usual. I hate this man. #vote is ur power

ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise! Fuel scarcity? It is APC. Boko harm APC. Patience Jonathan told people to stone those calling for change it is APC handiwork. Jonathan bribe pastor with 7 billion naira, na APC cause am. Please be wise in your utterances.
ReplyDeleteThe president cannot deny a phone conversation. I think he may deny the content. If he said he has not has a conversation, nigerians should please believe him. And for me, this issue is not important at all.

ReplyDeleteAPC is very unpatrotic they hate Nigeria so much that they claim Moroco is better than Nigeria. It is so clear APC knows that they have lost the election at all level. Every group INorthern elders, Arewa group, South west Affanifere, OPC group South East , Ohaneze Ndi igbo, south south all the political parties, namely Labour party, AD, ACN, APGA etc have all endorsed Jonathan. Buhari is brain dead everybody knows that can you imagin in South south zonal campaign Buhari when he was given the mic said Anybody that makes Mistake and vote for APC will regrate it can you imagin a presidential candidate of the party, you want to rule Nigeria with block head
