by former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, alleging
that the President has declared war on Nigeria.
President Goodluck Jonathan in a statement by his
spokesperson, Reuben Abati, Mr. Jonathan described Mr.
Buhari's statement as uncharitable and unwarranted while
advising Buhari not to blame him for his party's woes.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
DON'T BLAME ME FOR YOUR PARTY'S SELF-INFLICTED WOES
– PRESIDENT JONATHAN TELLS BUHARI
We have noted with much surprise and regret, the
statement issued by General Muhammadu Buhari today in
which he made some wild and totally unsustainable
allegations against President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
Although he tries very hard to deny it in the statement titled
"Pull Nigeria Back From the Brink", there can be no doubt
that General Buhari has sadly moved away from the
patriotic and statesmanlike position he recently adopted on
national security, which President Jonathan publicly
commended, and has now reverted to unbridled political
partisanship.
There can be no other explanation or justification for the
completely unwarranted and very uncharitable assault on
the conduct and integrity of President Jonathan which the
statement he issued today represents.
General Buhari's main grouse which clearly motivated his
ill-considered statement appears to be what he called "the
gale of impeachments or the utilisation of desperate tactics
to suffocate the opposition and turn Nigeria into a one-party
state".
It is most unfortunate that instead of working to put their
house in order and resolve the leadership crises and internal
contradictions that have plunged their party into a
downward spiral, General Buhari and his opposition allies
have resorted to blaming a blameless President for their
woes.
