Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said the former US President Barack Obama influenced the 2015 elections against him.
Jonathan said this during the launching of his new book “My Transition Hours,” attended by dignitaries across Africa.
The former president released a video message directly to Nigerians, he said, subliminally asking that Nigerians vote the opposition to form a new government.
The message was condescending, as if Nigerians don’t know what to do, he continued.
On March 23, 2015, President Obama himself took the unusual step of releasing a video message directly to Nigerians all but telling them how to vote.
In that video, Obama urged Nigerians to open the ‘next chapter’ by their votes.
Those who understood subliminal language deciphered that he was prodding the electorate to vote for the opposition to form a new government.
The message was so condescending, it was as if Nigerians did not know what to do and needed an Obama to direct them.

IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT JONATHAN IS NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT OBAMA INFLUENCED THE ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA.DID NIGERIANS VOTE FOR OBAMA OR JONATHAN IN THE NIGERIAN ELECTIONS? THIS GOES TO SHOW THAT THESE AFRICAN LEADERS HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO GOVERN.IF YOU GOVERN WELL AND THE PEOPLE FEEL YOUR IMMERSE EFFORTS TO THEM, IRRESPECTIVE OF YOUR CORRUPT PRACTICES,THEY WILL WANT YOU BACK.I WILL GIVE YOU EXAMPLE.LULA DA SIVA OF BRAZIL AS PRESIDENT LIFTED MANY POOR PEOPLE FROM POVERTY IN THE HISTORY OF BRAZIL,HE GAVE EVERY ONE THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION YET AFTER HIS CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS, HE WOULD HAVE WON THE ELECTIONS IF HE HAD NOT BEEN IMPRISONED. AFRICAN LEADERS ARE THE OPPOSITE.THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE MASSES ONLY TO COME AND STEALLLL AND YET THEY ALWAYS WANT TO BE PRESIDENT FOREVER. SHITHOLE COUNTRIES.
