Deiok: Yeah he better not.

sluggers:


Even Jesus Christ cursed you

AnanseK:

The promises (not oath) those people you mentioned made and broke affected their ranking and their honor and that is why you can quote the statements as documented facts.
If a man cannot be trusted unless he is on oath in a court of law, I woudn't want him to be the president of my country - not again.

duni04: I'm not a GEJ adherent but this idea of digging up old newspaper clippings to discredit somebody is just lame. The guy was answering questions from reporters, and not testifying before a court or the senate. You can't equate someone changing his mind about his political ambitions to treachery or dishonesty, its just lame. While campaigning for president, George W. Bush Snr famously promised not to increase taxes and did immediately he got in. Obama promised to close the guantanemo bay while campaigning in 2008, its still open today. As long as Jonathan's statement was not made before a court of law or the senate, like in the case of Bill Clinton who lied to a US grand jury about his affair with Monica lewinsky, nobody can accuse Jonathan of anything. He's a human being, he has the right to change his mind as he deems fit.

na_joke: LAIR......LAIR!!!

pesty100: so anything that jonathan says as long as he is not inside the court is lie.... Including his manifesto

Tippy Top: Obasanjo said the same thing but wanted to even contest for a third term. Fashola said the same thing and still ruling Lagos now. Why should GEJ not contest?

Itoroetti :


Don't mind those apc imbeciles.
Even their buhari that cried crocodile tears in 2011 and promised never to contest again is still nursing an ambition to contest.
He openly swore not to appeal if he loses,yet he went to court immediately after losing.

WHICH CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT DOES GOATLUCK HAS?
HE HAS USED HIS FIRST TENURE AFTER THE DEMISE OF YARADUA....

sluggers: Jonathan cannot be trusted. He needs to admit he said this before he gains the trust of Nigerians again. There is nothing wrong contesting for second term but you should fulfill your promises and let the country knows if you change your mind. Simple as ABC........

Abagworo:

I hope you know that most of the people against GEJ now were the same people that stopped OBJ's 3rd term and also fought for Jonathan's emergence as President. They are the civil rights activists and lovers of united Nigeria. They have no particular political affiliation but are bent on keeping the peace and unity of Nigeria.

na_joke: LAIR......LAIR!!!

Abagworo:

I think it has been settled in the law court that he has the rights to contest. The issue here is integrity.

alpha conde:
My adVice, contesting elections is way different from winning elections. Its his right to contest, its our right to let him win or not. Something tells me some people will have no choice to vote him if he contests, mayb because they can't make a better choice.

rudedough: [size=20pt]I CAN'T BELIEVE A FAKE NEWS FROM 2011 MADE IT TO THE FRONT PAGE WHILE SANUSI APOLOGY OVER ALLEDGED $49.9 BILLION DID NOT.

NL IS ANTI-GEJ SIMPLE.[/size]

Abagworo: I‘ll not contest 2015 election – Jonathan

on february 01, 2011 at 1:41 am in news
BY DANIEL       IDONOR

ANKARA, TURKEY — President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, said he has no ambition to stay in office beyond 2015, assuring Nigerians in Diaspora that while he will not contest the 2015 election, he will ensure that this year’s election is free and fair.
The President promised that if voted in for the next four years, he would ensure significant improvement in key sectors of the economy — security, power, education, road, health amongst others.
“Without security, there is no government. So it is not debatable, it is something we have to addressed and we are working towards that with vigour. But if I’m voted into power within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything even if I am there for the next four years.”
Jonathan said this while interacting with Nigerians mainly diplomats working in the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, UNECA, and the African Union, AU, in Addis-Ababa.
While fielding questions from those present at the interactive session on whether Nigerians abroad will vote, Jonathan said: “I would have loved that the Nigerians in Diaspora vote this year but to be frank with you, that is going to be difficult now. Presently, the law does not allow the voting outside Nigeria and so this year Nigerians in Diaspora will not vote but I will work towards it by 2015 even though I will not be running for election.”
On the issue of security, Jonathan said the government was doing everything possible to arrest the situation. He disclosed that all those involved in the October 1 bombing had been arrested and were being prosecuted. He, however, said he ordered the release of the car dealers because they were just businessmen who could not have known that the vehicles were to be used for such heinous crime.

nationwide1: In as much as I don't respect the character of not keeping to one's word, change is the only permanent thing in life. Another conclusion is that GEJ must have said it under coercion. The only reason on earth he should not contest for second term is because he is a second class citizen.

Abagworo:

You are deviating. If Buhari declares or starts fighting people who want to run for Presidency under APC, then I will believe he's bent on running at all cost. I'm yet to notice that. Jonathan on the other hand is already fighting and punishing people with perceived Presidential ambitions. Tukur has solidly made a statement that he's there to ensure Jonathan is PDP candidate for 2015 without holding any primaries.

berem: but seriously, has Buhari declared his intentions to run for presidency in 2015? What's the noise all about?

Shine It:

Fat lie, the people against GEJ are mostly northerners who thinks its their birthright to rule Nigeria. Feel free to name the civil rights groups and I'd name 50 prominent northerners against GEJ. Try a better spin my friend, this is not civil right because its GEJ's right to contest so the civil rights group are with him on this.

cooltone:
Every well meaning Nigerian except militants, thugs and political jobbers are against the insincere, incompetent and vision less man called GEJ. It's not about religion, tribe or otherwise but the man is just a big failure in the job given to him.

donphilopus: Have you answered my question??

Abagworo:

I hope you know that most of the people against GEJ now were the same people that stopped OBJ's 3rd term and also fought for Jonathan's emergence as President. They are the civil rights activists and lovers of united Nigeria. They have no particular political affiliation but are bent on keeping the peace and unity of Nigeria.

TechWalker007:



Please stop this rubbish lubbish, both of you. biko.

Has GEJ declared his intention for 2015?
How does that even concern APC agents?
