To commemorate Nigeria's 53rd independence anniversary, President Goodluck Jonathan will address the nation from the Presidential Villa tomorrow at 7am. All tv and radio stations will broadcast the address live.

Alright

The FG's celebrations will be low-key tomorrow.

Will GEJ talk about his purported 2015 ambition?

CFCfan: Will GEJ talk about his purported 2015 ambition?

He has already made his position clear on that matter...but why is the whole media fixated on whether he is running or not?

It makes for interesting political theater

The address has started..

"Today of all days, we should not be scoring political points.."-GEJ

No electricity in UNIPORT and ALUU to watch the live independence broadcast.

Listening now

Rassco: Listening now

Kindly share with us.

..Politicians do not make a nation..-GEJ

He says 'Ameachi' should focus on governing and developing his state rather than focusing on selfish political ambition. Metaphorically though.

GEzj is now recanting the terrorist attack on the university students in Yobe State.

That he is mindful of the expectation placed on him and that he will not fail the nation regardless of setbacks.

Lets fight extremism irrespective of party or ethnic diversuty.
Tribute to students killsed in Yobe days ago.
Appreciation to our gallant security forces for fighting insurgents.

I my Country and President...

An advocate of dialogue in charting the way forward by setting up a committe to see to that and he expects the report of the framework for the dialogue to be ready in a month time.

Nigeria will not fail under my watch-GEJ

There will be a committee set up to come up with recommendations for the SNC. The committee will be chaired by Femi Okurunmu. The committee has one month to submit it's report on the nomenclature of the proposed national dialogue

"This is no time for the politics of bitterness, indiscipline.."

but why would Mr.president keep saying 'Fellow Nigerians' reminding of me of Abacha reign......such outta platitudes are annoying to my ears

The only thing I'll probably remember he said today is, "Great politicians think of the next election, great statesmen think of the next generation." He was quoting an American theologian. What he's trying to say is that he wants us all to be great statesmen.

The address has ended. It was a 24 minute speech.

The main issue that had weight was the commite to come up with the framework for national sovereign national conference.
