I‘ll not contest 2015 election –
Jonathan
on february 01, 2011
BY DANIEL IDONOR
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 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.”
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.
While fielding questions from those present at the
interactive session on whether Nigerians abroad
will vote, Jonathan said: “I would have loved that
the Nigerians in Diaspora vote this year but to be
frank with you, that is going to be difficult now.
Presently, the law does not allow the voting
outside Nigeria and so this year Nigerians in
Diaspora will not vote but I will work towards it
by 2015 even though I will not be running for
election.”
On the issue of security, Jonathan said the
government was doing everything possible to
arrest the situation. He disclosed that all those
involved in the October 1 bombing had been
arrested and were being prosecuted. He, however,
said he ordered the release of the car dealers
because they were just businessmen who could
not have known that the vehicles were to be used
for such heinous crime.
On education, the President said, the nine new
approved universities were to be specialised and
to be headed by at least three Nigerians experts
in Diaspora.
On the concerns raised of having a database of
Nigerian experts in Diaspora, President Jonathan
assured that he was working on creating a forum
for interaction between them and government and
also develop a database, where experts needed to
address the various challenges of the economy
will be drawn. He hinted that this was why the
Diaspora Commission was being set up as the bill
was already before the National Assembly.
The President also disclosed that the government
is looking towards reviewing the country’s foreign
policy to ensure that Nigeria gets maximum
benefit from its roles and contributions to
international organizations like the AU, UN and
ECOWAS.
He lamented that right now Nigeria’s
contributions were not being recognized adding
that “there is need for Nigeria to have something
in return for our investments. We are investing so
much but it is not being noticed and there is need
to reverse that trend.
On the concerns about road network and
transportation in the country, President Jonathan
assured that the railway system will be revamp
because presently heavy duty vehicles were
destroying the roads. “Why we cannot have
continuous road maintenance for now because no
contractor wants to go into it because of the
continuous pressure on the road by heavy duty
vehicles. That is why we are working to ensure
that we revamp the rail”.
The President also assured that Nigerians working
in international organization and institutions
would be issued diplomatic passports. He
directed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Odein
Ajumogobia to submit the list of those qualified
within the shortest possible time to him.
On the 35 per cent affirmative action
implementation and the domestication of
protocols signed, he assured that he will present
before the National Assembly within the shortest
possible time

pile is a very bad disease.. I have suffered it for close to 5 years now. I've tried many medications, be it herbal, non herbal. yet no improvement. the last solution was when the doctor said I should come for surgery early this year.. I ran away because of many bad stories I've heard about people who died after surgery and those there pile grew back couple with it affecting my studies.

Why is it that when a lady marry, she refuse to remove her fathers name?
Instead she puts her name first, her fathers name second, then her husband name. Just like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

APGA is a political party, they brought Rochas into power n gave him hope when all hope was lost for him. They will just wax stronger n stronger. If APC faces APGA in that zone APC shld 4get it cuz they can't win.

N if u don't like dat look for the nearest transformer in your area n (u knw wat to do)

did you just say wax stronger? when peter obi dumped that party because he saw no hope in that party. A party that sheepishly support a gullible president and don't produce a candidate for the presidency. remember, APGA is only ruling ANAMBRA which is not a proper representation of the south east. so, just like APGA, GEJ, you are a fool.

that's it

is APGA even a party? I've adopted APC, I've adopted GMB, I've adopted ROCHAS. shame on that man.

I don't believe in fetish things

very nice, money is good. David and Goliath

I saw it coming. He will beat Emeka Ihedioha to Douglas house

man living in the pleasure principle. he is now dead, I hate saying this but who knows where his soul is going. maybe hell fire. such is life.
