Jonathan flies to England… after 48 hours in Nigeria
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has departed the country for England.
The immediate past president only returned to Nigeria on Wednesday night after a long trip abroad, which included a stopover in the UK,
During his absence in the country, it was believed he went on self-exile, but he denied the report.
Before leaving the country, Jonathan received his supporters at the Port Harcourt International Airport, where his plane touched down.
He also hosted some of his kinsmen in Otuoke, his hometown in Bayelsa state, before leaving for Abuja, where he held a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday night.
From the image which Reno Omokri, who served him as senior special assistant on social media, posted on Twitter, Jonathan arrived the UK on Saturday afternoon.
Omokri and the former Nigerian leader (pictured) took the photograph at Heathrow Airport in London.
The schedule of the former president for the next few weeks has not been made public, but he is likely to continue the global tour, which he embarked upon after leaving office.
Jonathan has been meeting world leaders ahead of the launch of his foundation, which is expected to hold later this year.
It would now appear that he came to Nigeria principally to meet with Buhari.
I am happy Jonathan and Buhari are talking.I know it is for d good of d nation.
The joy if the Lord is my strength Jonathan is a living Hero
It will be a disservice for our APC president to question the integrity of a noble past leader who has in his wisdom mind reshape the democracy of our lovely nation.
I am happy for the erstwhile President. He looks healthy and strong. Those who live in Britain that doesn’t like GEJ as person can go and hug any transformer.
I feel that the two Excellencies can have more time to chat while in the UK. The Lord will grant President Buhari quick recovery in Jesus name. Amen.
