Tony Blair continues to come under the spotlight as more claims against him emerge from the explosive new biography by investigative journalist, Tom Bower.
The activities of the former Prime Minister of United Kingdom during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s former president has been revealed.
According to Bower’s book, Back in 2010, Mr Blair asked for a one-on-one meeting with the then Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan — ostensibly to offer the services of AGI and the Faith Foundation to help reconcile the country’s Muslims and Christians.
Again, he was given an intelligence briefing by the British embassy in advance.
But having charmed the president and — in the words of Jonathan’s staff — satisfied his ego, Blair then introduced him to J.P. Morgan chief Jamie Dimon.
The banker offered to manage Nigeria’s sovereign wealth fund — and Jonathan agreed. No other bank in the world was asked to tender for this profitable work.
