Goodluck Jonathan, a former president of Nigeria, asserted that his cabinet members feared being imprisoned when Muhammadu Buhari, the outgoing president, won the election in 2015.
In an interview that was shown on Arise TV on Monday, Jonathan made this statement.
Some of his cabinet members, according to him, even believed he would leave the nation, but he persisted.

“In my own time, especially in the 2015 elections, my ministers, my senior officers, people who worked with me; there was this fear that having lost the election, what would be our fate?
“Would the new government just throw all of us into jail without giving a fair hearing? Because the government is next to the court and can decide to do anything,” Jonathan said.
The former President added that the “tense atmosphere” his team experienced in 2015 during the transition period wasn’t present during the departing Buhari administration.
