Recession after my handover was self-inflicted by this present government to make me look bad- Jonathan says

“Recall that the opposition and their sympathisers and campaigners, both local and international, with their malicious propaganda, tore our economy to shreds, threatened our stability and existence as a nation and intimidated our citizens, all in the bid to take over power. Nevertheless, we conducted ourselves in a manner that allowed a peaceful transfer of power

from a ruling party to an opposition party, for the first time since Independence in 1960. Rather than forge a coalition and build on the momentum we had gathered when they eventually took office, they went on a persecution spree and vengeance mission.

That the country slipped into recession soon after we left office was a self-inflicted injury caused by misplaced priorities. The narrative of inheriting empty treasury is a blatant lie.

Goodluck Jonathan made this known during his book launch

What is your take on this statement by the former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, saying RECESSION WAS A SELF-INFLICTED INJURY CAUSED BY MISPLACED PRIORITIES.
