The controversy surrounding the alleged telephone conversation between President Goodluck Jonathan and the King of Morocco took another dimension as President Goodluck Jonathan friday evening said he never spoke on phone with the Moroccoan King and has ordered the minister of foreign Affairs to carry out a full scale investigation into the matter and punish those. Responsible for the national embarrassment.
Addressing a press conference friday evening, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati said the president was ‘shocked, surprised and embarrassed” over the controversy generated by his alleged telephone conversation with the Moroccoan King.
The controversy over whether or not the Nigerian President spoke with the Moroccoan King culminated in the recall of the Moroccoan Ambassador to Nigeria for consultation by his home government.
There were reports in the media that the King of Morocco snubbed president Jonathan when the later sought to speak with him, saying that it was inappropriate since president Jonathan was going into an election.
But an official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs insisted that president Jonathan spoke with the King on Phone, prompting the Moroccoan government to angrily deny such a phone discussion ever took place and recalled its ambassador to Nigeria for consultation.

Egbon JD,
I know this is hard for you to take, but technically I want Jonathan to win the election!
Why?
Nigeria has crossed the rubicon from good to bad! Except we get to the bottom we can’t rise again.
Painful as it is, OBJ single handedly preside over the country demise.
Remember Prof. Osibajo in the discuss said Tinubu has a knack for going for the best.
On the other hand OBJ always bestow on us strategically deficient people.
Let him know that he responsible for this peculiar mess
What is most embarrassing is the statement from Morocco that : the president lied. This is a monumental shame on Nigeria occationed by the bunch of charlatans in Aso Rock. This incident must have been staged by Buhari , Tinubu and Amaechi ! Ha ha ha ha.
