I Will Happily Go Home If I Lose2015 Elections – Pres. Jonathan by Fatalveli(m): 4:05pm On Feb 12, 2015
President Goodluck Jonathan is
dismissing insinuations being made that
he will not accept defeat if he loses the
2015 presidential elections.
He addressed the issue during a media
chat held in Abuja on Wednesday, News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
“In 2011, I said that I will conduct a
free and fair elections and if I lose I will
happily go home and it should be
recorded. As of that time no African
sitting president had lost an election,
but within this period a number of
African sitting Presidents had lost
elections.
But, I said that I wanted to create
history to be the first African President
that will lose election. But, let the world
know that the election was a free and
fair.Then, I just concluded the late
President’s tenure; I was just a
President for about a year, acting for
some months then.
But, I said that I will be happy to go
home. That this nation is more
important than any human being and I
still maintain.Anybody who wants to
hold this office of the president or any
office at all and feels that he is more
important than the nation, then, he it is
not quite right.
So, if as of that time I said that I was
ready to conduct a free and fair election
and if I lose I will go not to talk about
now that Nigerians had given me the
opportunity to be here for four full
years.
So if the elections are conducted and I
lose, of course, I will inaugurate a new
government. There is no way I will say
if I lose I will not hand over,” he said
The President said a lot of
misinformation was being circulated by
the media about the 2015 elections and
urged Nigerians to shun such
propaganda for the progress of the
country.
He reassured Nigerians and the
international community that the 2015
general elections would be conducted as
planned by the Independent National
Electoral Commission.
On the ongoing fight against Boko
Haram, the President disclosed that the
joint multi-national force, including the
Nigerian military had intensified efforts
to liberate all areas captured by the
insurgents.
He said the Nigerian Army had taken
delivery of new military hardware that
would help it in its crusade against the
insurgents.
He also expressed the hope that with the
renewed fight against the militants, the
Chibok girls might soon be rescued.

I've been to bayelsa for a project and saw gej's house. Modest not even a duplex so I see no reason why he should be bothered about going back to it!
