Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan speaks during a book launch in Abuja on December 15, 2020.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said he was not under any pressure to sack the former Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Azubuike Ihejirika from office.
Speaking during a book launch in his honour in Abuja, Jonathan said some people thought he sacked the general due to some pressure from the north.
“He mentioned my removing the Chief of Army Staff, General Ihejirika and said that because there was so much pressure on me from the north, it was not pressured,” Jonathan said.
“If somebody is doing what is right, even if you want to hit my head. And split my head, I will not (sack the person).”
