'I Will Not Lose The Elections' Pres. Jonathan Tells Aljazeera In New Interview by omanifrank(op): 10:41am On Mar 03, 2015

In an interview with Al-Jazeera TV which aired yesterday, President Jonathan said that he'll not lose the upcoming Presidential election. He also said the increase in the activities of Boko Haram in Nigeria is not as a result of his mishandling of the group and that Boko Haram did not start with him. Speaking about Jega, the president said he's never had any discussions with anyone to remove him. He affirmed that the elections will not be postponed again. Excerpts from the interview after the cut

"I will not loose the elections" President Jonathan said when asked if he was scared of loosing the elections.

When asked what he makes of the insinuations in some quarters that the sudden step-up of military operations in the fight against Boko Haram was because he is scared he might lose the elections on the grounds of insecurity, he said;

"Its out of ignorance. In a political environment, if one party, particularly the ruling party is going to the left, they(opposition) would have to go to the right. They must find something. They must have something to tell the people"

Asked whether the elections will be postponed again, President Jonathan said

"I don't think so. I believe the elections will be conducted as scheduled by INEC, that is National elections on the 28th of this month. I don't see why we should postpone again because I am quite impressed with the successes going on in the north. There is a misundestanding about the postponement. In 2011 we conducted elections in Nigeria, we had Boko Haram. The fact is that within this period, somehow the level of Boko Haram within this period was quite serious and from all indications and from the signals the security agencies got, people are trying to use them disrupt the elections. In 2011 there was no such signals and if you disrupt the elections in a number of states especially for the presidential elections, it will affect declaration of results. So the security services don't want to take any chances. They did not tell Nigerians that they must route Boko Haram 100% before the elections could be conducted but they want to degrade Boko Haram to the extent that they would no longer have the kind of strength that they would come out and disrupt the elections. That is the key thing. In terms of taking over our territories, yes we will take over all our territories and very soon there will be no part of Nigeria where they will erect a flag and say this is a Boko Haram territory. That we will do but what I am saying is that even if you do that, that does not mean you are inolated from terror attack. but gradually with improvement in terms of technology and monitoring we will able to bring it down. When we take over all the territories they are holding, they are becoming weaker, now we will improve our monitoring using superior technologies to monitor their activities, then we will begin to pick them and then of course frustrate their activities. So over the period, it will go. We cannot live with terror. No we can't. We would stop it"

On whether he mishandled the seriousness and strength of the group, he said

"No it is not a question of mishandling. Boko Haram didn't start with me"

On allegations leveled against him by APC Senators that he plans to sack Chairman of INEC Prof Attahiru Jega, he said;

“Except somebody is insinuating that the Chairman has done something wrong. You cannot change an officer, except the person has done something wrong. Government, whether at the federal or state level, president or governor, does not wake up and change somebody, especially somebody like the INEC Chairman, except that person has done something wrong. INEC is a very sensitive body. For me to change INEC Chairman, Nigerians and non-Nigerians will ask questions. So, you cannot wake up and change INEC Chairman. I have never discussed with any person on earth about changing INEC Chairman”

Clueless has become the most abused word in Nigeria. Most people probably don't know a synonym for it.

Re: 'I Will Not Lose The Elections' Pres. Jonathan Tells Aljazeera In New Interview by cooljude(m): 11:35am On Mar 03, 2015
Op i watched the interview and they asked him what would he do if he looses the election and he said that if he looses the election free and fair, he would go to his village and no Nigeria should die for his course. Then he said as at now he his certain of winning the election. So if you want to quote someone, quote all the speach. Honestly, i haven't heard Buhari admit loosing the election and what his reaction would be.

Re: 'I Will Not Lose The Elections' Pres. Jonathan Tells Aljazeera In New Interview by TRUTHTOPOWER:
TAKE NOTICE! IT IS WIN WIN FOR GMB & GEJ. They are comfortable. For poor Nigerians, especially those who made no effort at CHANGE of WHATEVER KIND, their insecurity, joblesness and socio-economic miseries will be justified from 2015 to 2019. Meanwhile, for those who cheer excuses of govt and block their ears to the agonies of innocent babies and infants dying in North East. ...With nearly a million security operatives at its [govt] command? May Father forgive you because you are ignorant of what you are doing. God forgive us all. Amen. One more thing. for the benefit of humanitarian relief I will align with Profs. Wole Soyinka, Itse Sagay and David West who believe that the Clock of Change cannot tick fast enough!
