The north African country denies Jonathan’s claim that he’s spoken to its King Mohammed VI – and to underline its displeasure, it’s withdrawn its ambassador from Nigeria.

Morocco says it’s unethical of the Christian President Goodluck Jonathan to use King Mohammed VI to win Muslim voters in an election campaign.

It strongly denies that the king has spoken to Jonathan, as had been stated it Nigeria.

The foreign ministry in Abuja insists an extensive telephone call did take place when Jonathan and the king spoke about matters of mutual interest and concern.
