Former President Goodluck Jonathan has clarified his comments on the role of late President Muhammadu Buhari in the crisis of the terrorists, Boko Haram, stating that he was being misrepresented.
The former president made this known while speaking on the criticism that followed his speech at the book launch of the former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor.

Ikechukwu Eze, the spokesperson to former President Jonathan, explained that the report in the media was misleading as it suggested that Jonathan claimed that Boko Haram nominated the late President Buhari to represent them in a dialogue with the federal government during his time in government, making Buhari “somehow complicit in the Boko Haram crisis.”
Eze stressed that the statement of the former president was grossly misrepresented and that there was that Jonathan suggested, implied, or insinuated “that President Buhari had any connection with Boko Haram or that he supported the group in any form.”
