Former President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday, recounted how he witnessed a lot of betrayal while seeking re-election in 2015.

Jonathan spoke up at the 70th birthday anniversary of Chief Mike Aiyegbeni Oghiadomhe in Benin, Edo State capital.

He declared that many Nigerian politicians are not dependable.

Jonathan, however, expressed delight that Oghiadomhe is one of the few friends I have who can give out their neck for me.

“Politics in the Nigerian standard is about betrayals. I have witnessed a lot of betrayal during 2015 election.

“You’ll find it difficult to see somebody who will say the same thing in the morning and say the same thing in the afternoon and in the evening.

“They will tell you something this minute and the next one hour, they’ll say another. 

“The next one hour they’ll say another thing. But, I am quite pleased to associate with Oghiadomhe,”.

He added that Oghiadomhe “is one person who will take a bullet on my behalf.

“For me, he is somebody that you can take his words to the bank. Most politicians, you can not take their words to the bank.”

Recall that Oghiadomhe served as Chief of Staff to Jonathan between 2010 and 2014.

Among the dignitaries at the event were Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Chief Medical Director (CMD), UBTH, Prof (Mrs) Izia Ize-Iyamu, ex-Governor Lucky Igbinedion, ex-Governor Oserheimen OsunborEx; Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, Chief Tom Ikimi, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and others.
