2015 Presidency: I’m Under Pressure To Run - Jonathan by JECBOSS: 4:55am On Nov 08, 2013 |
President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday, admitted that he was under pressure to seek a second term in office, saying, over 1665 campaign groups have volunteered to work for his re-election in 2015. The president however said the pressure notwithstanding, he would have to wait until 2014 before making his decision known to Nigerians. The president’s presumed second term bid has been the thrust of the festering crisis in the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He has also consistently reminded Nigerians that talks about 2015 elections were distractive and would not comment on such. But the leadership of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, has restated its determination to wrest political power from the PDP. There will be a change of guard in 2015, the party said yesterday. Besides, the APC said it was putting all efforts to ensure that rigging was stopped at all cost even as the party raised the alarm that its members were being deregistered in Anambra state ahead of the November 16 governorship election. Regardless, President Jonathan who spoke through his special adviser on political matters, Ali Ahmed Gulak said, even Nigerians abroad are “burning in unquenchable desire to return to the country and cast their votes for the ruling PDP come 2015”. Speaking yesterday in Abuja at a meeting of the Elders’ Advisory Council of the Goodluck Support Group (GSG), Gulak said, despite the pressure on his boss, Nigerians would still have to wait until next year for the president to decide, even as he maintained that Jonathan’s only concern for now was on fixing the nation’s economy. He said: “Since our last meeting, we have received various support groups being coordinated by the GSG. We have, as of today, 1665. The last to visit was the Ochendo Solidarity Movement from Abia State. About 150 (groups) of them came to this office. We discussed. They have called on Mr. President to declare his intention. They said that they were not flattering. “The President had told the whole nation that his intention would only be known in 2014, as he would use all these years to work for Nigeria and work for Nigeria and work for Nigeria”, he added, noting that Nigerians in the Diaspora had been enthusiastic about the organisation when it launched its US branch. “They told us that they would not only stick to vote, but they would mobilize themselves to come back and register and also ask their relatives to vote for PDP. ``There is no alternative to President Jonathan come 2015, based on GSG interactions with different political, cultural and religious associations,’’ he said. The Chairman, Council of Elders of the GSG, Sen. Ibrahim Mantu, said many politicians in the country want to be identified with the good works of President Jonathan. He said “many Nigerians are indeed happy with what is happening at the moment, everybody want to be part of the success story of the current administration,’’ Mantu said. There’ll be change in 2015 - APC Reacting, the Interim National Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Tijjani Musa Tumsah told Leadership Friday that “it is regrettable that in spite of his dismal performance, Jonathan still wants to run. We are not bothered”, he continued, “Because we are sure that there will be a change in 2015”. http://leadership.ng/news/081113/2015-presidency-i-m-under-pressure-run-jonathan

We know Jonathan never takes responsibility for anything but for him to try to tell us even his decision to contest is at someone else's instance is just absolutely infradig. He may as well tell us he's not the president of this country. 3 Likes |

"The last to visit was the Ochendo Solidarity Movement from Abia State." "The Chairman, Council of Elders of the GSG, Sen. Ibrahim Mantu," hahahahahahahahahaha, now I can see the kind of groups that make up the 1665 asking Mr President to run again in 2015. See the face and condition of Abia state and Mantu, then you can as well decide for yourself the significance of these groups being associated with the calling of Mr President to run for a second tenure. 1 Like |

Abacha's own was 2 million youths eventhough he had lost all goodwill from Nigerians. Since you are shamelessly squandering our money, and shielding corruption by all might, you can mobilize 10 million youths by 2014. Please do not ride on ethnoreligious divide again because it won't work.. 1 Like |

I guess its the same Jonathan that his wife(Patience) and Wike have assumed the duties of campaign managers for him that thinks he will fool us into believing he is yet to make his decision known. I wish i had the cash, i would not be in Nigeria by even 2014. Bunch of thieves(including Tinubuhari). |

Well he wants to prepare our minds gradually. He has already said he would contest in 2015 in not so much words. Just that he wants to announce it formally next year . |

If APC gives Mr Rochas Okorocha the Presidential ticket to run in 2015 there is a tendency that Dr Goodluck Jonathan may lose the election. Anything short of that na wash. In 2015, it's going to be either Mr Okorocha or Dr Jonathan....Aboki should go and shempe...no more born to rule till Jesus come. |
