I was just going through archives and I bumped into this piece which was an authoritative declaration by Jonathan in 2011; how time flies!!

[size=13pt]I‘ll not contest 2015 election – Jonathan[/size]
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 [size=13pt]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.”[/size]

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.

"...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.”

Very strong words!

It seems our leaders are always shameless and don't give a damn even as they eat their own words!

We are okay with the state of things - enough is enough.But he must go.

Janus Azikiwe. The bloody two timing double faced b@st@rd.

He is a self indicting , clueless and hopelessly corrupt president.

Oga jo this naaaa 6years oooo things are going from bad to worst

They say these things when they are high,after they get elected,they get low on plans for the nation.

In a developed country it takes 80 to 90 yrs, ndi ala

' Dont forget he used Sugar to coat his mouth when given his Manifesto, thankz to God for changing dat Sugar in his mouth to Bitter leave.SMH

GEJ can not fix power with his sluggish ways never

The man was only talking as a politician and really wasn't in touch with the technical reality involved. Now he knows better. We are not there yet but we are steadily advancing.

Why is he rambling like a headless chicken? Will you contest or you won't? Tell us straight. Nigerian politicians having a sugar-coated mouth since Year 1

GEJ...

“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

Thank you Sir, we have no Government and you shall be kicked out in 2015.


With Love From APC

he must have realised that he needs another term to finish what he has started.

Man promises and fails. Only God can promise without failing, but He can also change His mind about a course if there are anomalies.

He just wanna contest. He hasn't said he MUST win.

so, why the fuss!


CHANGE IS CONSTANT.

Dude, in case Seun bans you (which he most likely would), let us know via pm.

Power supply, F9. Then what will u score Syria.
Syria crisis started 2011 and almost half of the country is captured. Has Boko Haram being able to achieve this . Remember Boko Haram madness started before 2011.

War within and war without are different.

F9 in infrastructure? Where have u been. Even people outside Nigeria know that projects are ongoing.

War on corruption, E8 or D7 would have beeb better.

power supply has drastically improved since 2011.

Leadership. are u blaming GEJ for people u voted in or the ones he appointed.

Eenhe.. Has power not improved in 4 years?


You expect Nigeria to generate and. Distribute power to 170million Nigerians in 4 years?

GEJ promised improvement, Power has improved and work is ongoing to achieve more.
