More Facts: Evidence that President Jonathan Lied About Arms Purchased During Buhari’s Regime as Head of State Surfaces Online President Goodluck Jonathan at the flag-off of his re-election rally in Lagos on Thursday, alleged that not a single rifle was purchased in the last 30 years by the Nigerian government.
