Former President Goodluck Jonathan said Nigeria’s political landscape is full of betrayals and lies.

Jonathan stated this Thursday, September 4, during the 70th birthday ceremony of his former Chief of Staff and former deputy governor of Edo State, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe, in Benin City, Edo State.

Several dignitaries were in attendance at the ceremony, including former governors Lucky Igbinedion, Osarhiemen Osunbor and Adams Oshiomhole and Ibrahim Dakwambo of Gombe State and others.

Jonathan said Oghiadomhe was an ally that can be trusted all time.

Jonathan said: “I became president, then post presidency, one of the few friends that can give up their necks for me is Mike. You know politics in the Nigerian standard is about betrayals.

“You find it difficult to see somebody who will say the same thing in the morning and in the evening. I’ve witnessed a lot of betrayals, especially my 2015, election, and Mike is somebody who would take a bullet on my behalf.”
