Popular stand up comedian, Ali Baba, has
alleged that erstwhile President, Goodluck
Jonathan was betrayed by many of his ‘foot
soldiers.’
He said those Jonathan entrusted with authority
in his government strategically shielded him
from people who had better advice.
On his Instagram page @alibabagcfr, the rib
cracker wrote:

“After going through all I could
lay my hands on, I’m further convinced that the
people who President Jonathan entrusted with
authority in different sectors of the economy and
government did him in. And they did this
smoothly & strategically.

“The crop of people I’m talking about, were
those one who were more concerned with their
goals to enrich themselves, so they were going
about doing everything they could to amass
wealth.
“Then there was this other group who were
building their political dreams will turning GEJ’s
administration to a nightmare.
“They tactically made sure they alienated all
those who had superior reason and better
advice, away from him.
“They strategically put him on a war path with
those who he should have had as his backbone
in the unpredictable storms of Nigerian politics.
“They knew that if he listened to those people
they (the vultures) would starve.
“Two examples – After an event, ADC sent word
to see GEJ. While waiting, at about 1:30am or
later, 8 or more senators came to inform him of
the plans by members of National Assembly to
cross carpet with their Governors. Some
leaders of PDP were there.
“They told GEJ to forget them.
“Good riddance!
“One of them said. The devil is in the detail.

“If governors who fund the party machinery
cross carpet, it exposes your party. When they
take their reps and senators, it endangers your
President.
“So, 3 weeks after that meeting, there were
mass defections. That was when PDP rushed to
court to stop them.
“Another instance, this time it was a phone call,
when I was in Abeokuta. Baba had just come
back from a UN envoy trip. He told GEJ, to
think very well & beyond the 16/19 elections of
Gov’s Forum.
“That if 19 govs voted Amaechi, then you have
enemies in your camp.
“Baba said accept the result; deal with it later
because the world was watching. For wia? The
advisers, said call his bluff.
“Now, it is clear, they were all fighting for
themselves. Not GEJ. They all enriched
themselves to the detriment of his
administration. Bet he is shocked at some
revelations.
“I have known him since Deputy GOV days and
I can say, he was betrayed by many of his foot
soldiers. If I be GEJ, everyone go answer him
papa name,” he added.
