Goodluck Was Not Booed In South Africa..Reuben Abati

Few days ago, President Goodluck Jonathan was reported to have been booed in South Africa during the swearing ceremony of President Jacob Zuma.

But his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati has debunked the story.

This was Reuben's reaction:

Nobody booed President Jonathan in South Africa. His presence was much appreciated by the people and government of S/Africa. We consider the attempt by certain partisan elements to play politics with the President's trip to SA cheap, puerile & unnecessary. Those peddling misinformation that President was jeered at in SA are unfair, malicious &uncharitable. Fits into a known political pattern. President Jonathan congratulates the people & government of South Africa on a successful inauguration ceremony & thanks them for their warm hospitality.
