Why Did Our President Want To Contest Again Thereby Defying His Words by Donfamous(m): 4:00pm On Sep 02, 2014
If a man can say something in a church aand not follow it up then its a serious issue.
There was a news on nairaland on may 25th that the president promised a new government. Why did he go back on his words?
If a man can't honour his words definitely he can't honor his people.
Here is the news.

In a speech that is bound to catch his allies, foes and
watchers of his administration by surprise, President
Goodluck Jonathan today assured Nigerians that a
different government and leadership would be
installed in Nigeria in 2015.
Mr. Jonathan made the surprise statement at a
“Democracy Day” church service held Sunday in
Abuja.
Before the president’s speech, the head of the
Nigeria Pilgrims Commission, Reverend John
Kennedy Opara, had set the tone when he told the
gathering that this year's Democracy Day would be
the last to be celebrated by Mr. Jonathan.
When it was the president’s turn to speak, he
referred to Reverend Opara’s statement. He echoed
the reverend’s statement, assuring Nigerians that
the Democracy Day event was the last for his current
administration.
A PDP official who was at the event told
SaharaReporters that he was mystified by the
statements. He said he had no advance notice about
the president’s remarks, and so was in no position to
interpret its political meaning.
It remains unclear if the two statements are
indications that the Nigerian president had decided
not to seek a second term in office in general
elections scheduled for next year. Mr. Jonathan
continues to face criticism both in Nigeria and abroad
for his dismal performance since he assumed office
more than five years ago.
Our source reported that the church service was not
well attended. He stated, however, that some
government officials, including Senate President
David Mark, Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Pius Anyim, and some military chiefs
were present. The president’s wife, Patience
Jonathan, as well as his mother were also in
attendance.
In a minor misstep in protocol, Mr. Jonathan
recognized his wife before he did Senator David
Mark.

Jonathan either contests for presidency of Nigeria in 2015 or
he contests for presidency of Shekau caliphate.

Either way, in the words of Alhaji Asari dokubo,
"Him no fit"
come home in 2015!
