President Goodluck Jonathan on sunday said contrary to reports making the rounds, he had never at anytime promised that he would not contest in 2015 presidential election.
He also denied the claim by Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State that he signed an agreement with some Peoples Democratic Party governors for only one term in office. He challenge anybody with a copy of such agreement to produce it.
Jonathan was fielding questions from a panel of journalists during the Presidential Media Chat in Abuja on sunday.
He answered questions ranging from politics and education to security, economy and power.
When pressed to be specific on whether he would contest 2015 election, the President insisted that it was too early to make his intension known adding that doing so would violate the Electoral Act which stipulates the time frame within which politicians can declare their interests.
The President, however, said the fact that he had not declare his position did not mean that those who were interested in the seat could not go ahead and start working.
Jonathan said, " There was no agreement with anybody that I will serve for only one team. If I had signed any agreement with anybody, they would have shown you the agreement.
"I did not say that I will not contest in 2015. In Addis Ababa, that was when I advocated single term of seven years. My argument was that to be more productive, maybe we should consider single term of seven years.
"I said if Nigerians agree to that, I may not be involved. I did not say I will contest or not. Those who said I have signed an agreement, they should show the agreement."
The President blame past governments for the continuous campaign violence being carried out by members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
He said the needless killings would have been avoided if the menace of the sect was curbed from the beginning.
"Boko Haram did not start today. I was Vice-President in 2009 when (Mohammed) Yusuf (Boko Haram leader) was killed. People talk about Boko Haram as if Jonathan caused it. It started before 2009 but because it was not handled well, it has grown into a cancer and it has become terrible. If something happened and you don't take the right action, it will continue. But I can assure Nigerians that it will be brought under control," he added.
When asked whether Boko Haran leader, Abubakar Shekau was truly dead, the President replied, "I don't know whether he is dead or alive. I don't know him and I have not seem him before."
The President, who regretted the protracted strike by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, described the action as unfortunate. He added that it had been politicised.
He called on the university lecturers to consider the plight of their students and the sincerity of government and call off the strike.
The President, however, said it was wrong for ASUU to go on strike because of the state of infrastructure in universities when it was his government that initiated inventory of infrastructure in the institutions and returned a verdict that something drastic must be done.
He said, "ASUU strike is very unfortunate. There is no time a government has taken inventory of properties in schools but we set up a technical team that visited all universities. When the report was presented, I said it must be presented to all governors during NEC.
"We said things must change but it can't be done overnight. For us to do that inventory shows that we are committed. For ASUU to go on strike for infrastructure is not fair. We are doing inventory for polytechnics and colleges of education too and they are not being done for fun.
"We expect ASUU to work with us. It is unfortunate that the strike lasts this long because we have witnessed strikes before and most of them are called off when government don't even do up to what we have done.
"Politics have fallen into so many things. We may be seeing something different."
Jonathan faulted those who have been describing the country as broke or bankrupt, saying that also smark of unhealthy politics.
"People play politics with serious issues. How can you describe the country as bankrupt? What parameter did you use? Anybody that says Nigeria is broke is playing politics and talking out of ignorance," he declared.
On the power sector, Jonathan promised that before the end of the first quarter of next year, power would be stable in the country.
He also promised that his administration was building security architecture to tackle oil theft.
While admitting that corruption was prevalence in the country, Jonathan however said the menace was not the nation's number one problem. He said, "We did an in-house investigation and we are still doing it now. I am not saying that there is no corruption in the oil sector but the way people are looking at it may not be the real thing. Recently, we have asked some auditors to look at the books again."

A Nigerian terror suspect accused of trying to help al-Qaeda in Yemen appear before a United States federal courtroom on friday.
Lawal Babafemi was accused of training with members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and using his English skills to help publish the terrorist magazine "Inspire."
Judge John Gleason ordered Babafemi, also known as "Ayatollah Mustafa," held without bail. No plea was entered, reports NBCnewyork.com.
Prosecutors said Babafemi is married with children in Nigeria and help al-Qaeda attempt to recruit people who speak English to engage in acts of terror against Americans.
The FBI said Anwar al - Awlaki, the American cleric who became the al-Qaeda commander in the Arabian Peninsula and was killed in a US drone strike, personally directed and $9,000 be paid to Babafemi to assist in his recruitment efforts.
Sitting silently at a defense table, Babafemi wore a blue and white striped polo shirt as he listened to the hearing without the help of a translator.
His attorney did not object to his being help without bail, but told the judge Babafemi suffers from high blood pressure and asked that he receive medication when he gets to the Metropolitan Detention Center.
Investigators said Babafemi was active with al-Qaede operatives from 2010 to 2011 until he was arrested for crimes in Nigeria. He was then turned over to FBI agents to be prosecuted for his alleged terrorist activity.
" The defendat threw his efforts behind al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's media, recruitment, and weapons training campaigns in an effort to strengthen the terrorist group's grip on the region and extend its reach throughout the world," US Attorney Loretta Lynch said in a statement.
His tranfer to the United States comes amid increasing concerns about the growing footprint of al-Qaeda affiliated organizations in Africa.
Al-Qaeda in Yemen has tried to use an underwear bomb on an airliner heading to Detroit and has hidden explosives in printers to try to bomb cargo planes.
Al Shabaab - a Somali-based group linked to al-Qaeda - is believed to be behind the recent mall attack in Kenya.

[quote author=$£yi]I know a little of the ACN wing of the opposition and not the whole APC.

Expect this if Nigeria is governed by them.

Nigerians to pay tax like never before, (people living in SW states except Ondo pay hell of a tax).

Increment in monthly IGR. E.g. Osun's Igr moving from N300m to N1.6b, Ogun's Igr moving from N600m to N4b, Lagos' Igr moved from N600m to N27b.

Increment in public institutions' fee.(Students of Lagos state university understand better).

god-fatherism belonging to one man, unlike multiple god fathers in the ruling party.

Reduction in corruption and blockage of loopholes.

States to have independent police.

Development in all ramification.[/quote]Nigeria would've achieved this despite the level of insecurity so far?

The issue of who run 2015 presidential election has gone to apex as individuals and groups are so concern about 2015. Considering the level of terrorism, distractions and political attack by politicians, what do you think nigeria would've achieved by now if it was governed by opposition or those kicking against president GEJ?

If militants are being sent broad to come back and work in oil and gas industry, what about the graduates? Does it mean every body should turn to militant before benefiting from government?

The way nigerian politicians are struggling to hijack power by all means, one need to stop and ask-what are they fighting for? The only answer is 'for money'. They don't have the interest of the masses at heart but on their lips by telling and promising heaven and earth. This is seen in one ethnic group who think power is their birth right. However, am beginning to sense something worse than what happened in NGF election and Rivers State and I think this country should be divided for GOAT and SHEEPS to go their different ways.

biggy4joe: And wat wil i gain by backing GEJ,wat has he done 4 d south dat we wil nw bk him?No jobs,nothing 2 even show 4 d few years he has ruled Nigeria...My brothers nd sister lets stop playing dis politics of d belle nd push for a more formidable person dat can move us forward nd lets keep dis North and South issue away..I want to see a Nigeria of my dream whether is an Ijaw man,Yoruba woman or a Nupe man at d helm of affairs,i just want to see progress

how many progress were recorded throughout those years that this country was governed by northern presidents? What do the northerners think they can do for nigerians apart from coming to corrupt this country even more than this. Why are they so interested in ruling this country? If na dem where OIL bin dey their side, south south no 4 smell power. Make dem relax jare!

For me it is true following the level of investigations that Nigerians are not to compete with in bed. They have the highest strength needed. Couple with strength, men whose "john thomas" are long, huge and well rounded have their women scream and making those sexiest noise "hush, yaah, etc" as the did goes on. Also from investigations the least country being china.

When it comes to cooking, especially Banga soup no woman can compete with me.

There's no need paying JTF or buying weapons for them again. They should stop all these jokes they are playing on nigerians. How can they keep arresting! Arresting!! Arresting!!! boko haram members without killing them? Then what was the aim of sending them (JTF) there? How will the remaining boko haram members take them (JTF) serious? They jtf are just there in those 3 states to perform drama and not to fight terrorist.

So...........?

Mr. Abubakar urged the sect members to embrace dialogue. A former head of state, General Abdulsalami Abubakar on tuesday urged members of the Boko haram sect to embrace dialogue. Mr Abubakar gave the charge when the presidential committee on Dialogue and Peace Resolution of Security challenge in the North visited him at his residence in Minna.
He appealed to the sect members to meet the committee to discuss their grievances, saying that dialogue was the only way out.
"I implore Nigerians to pray for the sect members to have a change of heart and accept dialogue to discuss their grievances and seek peace.
"If you go to North, especially Borno and Yobe where this is happening, you'll weep. Women have turned widows and children orphans, while other people are separated from one another.
"In the name of their conscience, in the name of Allah which they profess, they should lay down their arms and embrace dialogue to end the violence.
"Violence doesn't solve problem, you must come to table, without doing that your grievances are meaningless."
Mr. Abubakar also advised the committee to thread with caution, saying, "The eyes of the whole world are on you to see what you can do and what you can come up with."
He described the carnage going on in the North as senseless, appealing to the committed not to allow the FG to punish sect members who turned themselves in.
"The unemployed, but educated youths are a threat to peace in any society, while Government cannot employ everybody, we must create the right environment for them to thrive," Mr. Abubakar stated.
The chairman of the committee Kabiru Turaki urged Mr. Abubakar to persuade leaders of the sect to come out and dialogue with the committee.
