Former President Goodluck Jonathan has alleged that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration harassed his key officials over the Malabu Oil deal scandal, specifically the OPL-245 case. Speaking at the launch of a memoir titled “OPL 245:
Inside Story of the $1.3bn Nigerian Oil Block” by former Attorney-General of the Federation, Bello Adoke, Jonathan stated that Buhari’s government launched a “manhunt” against his key officers, including Adoke, over the OPL-245 matter.
Jonathan alleged that Buhari pursued Adoke out of vengeance on behalf of the Abacha family, claiming Buhari believed he had treated them unfairly concerning the OPL-245 deal.
Jonathan emphasized the importance of justice, fairness, and integrity in public service, warning that societies that fail to uphold these values will neither have peace nor make progress.
He urged public officeholders to remain committed to truth, justice, and fairness.
