According to THISDAY, several sources close to the ex-president, who confirmed that Jonathan had sought refuge last week in the West African country, also blamed the heightened attacks on oil and gas installations by Niger Delta militants to what they claimed was “the decision by President Buhari to renege on his promise that his predecessor had ‘nothing to fear’ from him (Buhari) after he handed over the reins of power on May 29, 2015”.
So if there are CLEAR evidences that Jonathan took Billions from CBN, what should Buhari do?
Since Jonathan’s departure, anti-corruption agencies led by the EFCC have swept in on several associates of the former president over money laundering, diversion of public funds and contract scams, mostly linked to defence sector contracts and the purchase of arms used for the prosecution of the war against Boko Haram in the North-east.
In recent weeks, the EFCC has in addition to arresting and prosecuting several public office holders who served under the Jonathan administration, arrested some of the closest allies of the former president including his cousin, Mr. Aziobola Robert, in connection to a $40million pipeline surveillance contract, and his former principal secretary and confidant, Mr. Hassan Tukur.
These arrests were said to have shaken Jonathan, given that they were the two persons closest to him.
A source, who spoke to THISDAY on Jonathan’s decision to escape from Nigeria, said the former president was reliably warned by his close associates of the plan to arrest him once he stepped into the country, hence his decision to seek exile in Cote d’Ivoire.
On hearing of the plan to nab him, Jonathan contacted a few West African leaders including the President of Cote d’Iviore, Alassane Outtara, who offered him a safe haven until "the coast is clear" in Nigeria.
