Former President Goodluck Jonathan has tackled a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Farida Waziri, who accused him of removing her from office in bad faith.
Waziri, in her recently published book, said Jonathan removed her when she was working on some oil thieves.
Reacting through his media aide, however, Jonathan said Waziri was wong.
According to him, he removed her over matters bordering on national and global interest which he could, however, not disclose because o their nature.
He said,
Ibe said, “It must be pointed out that former President Jonathan had no personal issues with Mrs Waziri. The former President had to eventually let her go in the national interest. Her removal, therefore, has a lot to do with reasons relating to Nigeria’s interest and global standing which details Dr Goodluck Jonathan is obliged to keep as state secret in our common national interest. It is very important to note that when dealing with the interest of the nation and the performance of the functions of a public office, a determined leader cannot prioritise the interest of an individual.
