Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has dismissed claims by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar that his inexperience influenced his decisions while in office.

Jonathan’s response comes after Atiku reportedly suggested that lack of experience affected governance outcomes during Jonathan’s administration.

The former president maintained that his time in office was guided by national interest and constitutional responsibility, and not by a lack of competence or understanding of governance.

The exchange highlights ongoing political tensions between prominent figures in Nigeria’s political space ahead of future political developments.
