Why I Am Keeping Quiet —jonathan by Whizzcute(m): 6:19am On Jul 28, 2015
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has opted to remain silent despite the barrage of questions
requiring answers from him by not just newsmen, but Nigerians in general on his handling of the
nation’s affairs.



Jonathan said he will, for now, rather remain silent.
According to his spokesperson while in office, Dr Reuben Abati, the former president has asked him to
tell those seeking to speak with him, especially newsmen that he is resting.


In an article entitled: “The phones no longer ring,” Abati, the Special Adviser on Media to Jonathan, said
he has had to deal with barrage of requests for interview with his former boss.

He, however, said Jonathan had told him to inform those making the requests that he is resting.
In the article in which Abati appeared to be at pains as to the stoppage of the numerous phone calls
that he got while in office, but most of which he did not attend to, he explained: “Today, the phones
remain loudly silent, with the exception of calls from those friends who are not gloating, who have been
offering words of commendation and support.


“They include childhood friends, former colleagues, elderly associates, fans, and family members.
“And those who want interviews with President Jonathan, both local and international – they want his
reaction on every development, so many of them from every part of the planet.


“But he is resting and he has asked me to say he is not ready yet to say anything.
“It is truly, a different moment, and indeed, ‘no condition is permanent.’

“The ones who won’t give up with the stream of phone calls and text messages are those who keep
pestering me with requests for financial assistance.

“I am made to understand that there is something called “special handshake” and that everyone who
goes into government supposed to exit with carton loads of cash.

“I am in no position to assist such people, because no explanation will make sense to them.
“Here I am, at the crossroads; I am glad to be here.”
In the opening paragraphs of the article, which was earlier published by this news website, Abati said:
“As spokesman to President Goodluck Jonathan, my phones rang endlessly and became more than
personal navigators within the social space.

“They defined my entire life; dusk to dawn, all year-round.
“The phones buzzed non-stop, my email was permanently active; my twitter account received tons of
messages per second.

“The worst moments were those days when there was a Boko Haram attack virtually every Sunday.”

If I hear ween!!

What else does the corrupt, inept, and irretrievably clueless Jonathan that was rejected by the majority of Nigerians have to say?

From the revelations emerging about how you looted this country with impunity, all you will need to say Mr. Ebele is guilty, guilty, guilty.

What do u expect from him?
GEJ reduced the standard of the presidency so much that anybody could have contested against him nd won in a free nd fair election.
What GEJ did during his reign isn't called embezzlement, but systemic looting..
He also didn't just encourage corruption, he bred it..

Buhari can Prob Jonathan if he likes, but Probing is different from Arresting him (Which can never happen), Except Buhari wants to official seprate Nigeria. It's because of Unity of the Country he and other leaders have not been arrested or in Jail nw.

I just so much like this Abati, the man is too good and humble, despite the fact that GEJ is no more there, he still speak for him. That's knowledge and humbleness. Not that fullness of time man that know nothing other than to spill rubbish from both side of his mouth like his master the dulla-rd.



Meanwhile, Good morning my humble GEJ. Enjoy yourself and know that u are always the best.

Jonathan has said it repeatedly shortly after he lost his re-election bid that he will talk at the right time.....I pray he attempt writing an autobiography because Nigerians need to hear the TRUTH. Obviously, the Press have not been favourable to Jonathan while in office and even when out of power but one thing is sure the Jonathan's government was not as bad and terrible as the Press want us to believe. Respect to Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the Pioneer & Father of Modern Democracy in Nigeria.
