Government Investigating Leaked GEJ/Buhari Phone Call
Sources close to the President have revealed that the
presidency is embarrassed that the audio of the phone call President
Goodluck Jonathan made to Gen. Muhammudu Buhari to concede defeat and
congratulate him on his victory was made public.
The Presidency is also interested in knowing how the recording of the telephone conversation was leaked to the media.
The Presidency
has reportedly commenced a discreet investigation into how the call
which was made on Tuesday, March 31, got to become public property.
According to Ynaija, the audio of the conversation surfaced on the internet on Thursday, via a Twitter handle- @EveryNigerian.
The media also revealed that a government official revealed to Punch newspapers that a thorough investigation will be conducted into the leak and that the first step was to determine whether the recording was leaked from the Presidency or was made public from the President-elect’s camp.
“Definitely, unauthorised release of a raw recording of the President’s telephone conversation, if from our (Presidency’s) end is a security breach that cannot go without being investigated,” the source said.
Jonathan called Buhari even moments before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the APC candidate as the winner of the election.
After conceding defeat, many Nigerians and indeed world leaders praised Jonathan and described his action as heroic and commendable.
