Jonathan: I Am Under Pressure To Contest 2019 Election, But I Won't Contest by sweetsandy4luv(op): 10:39am On Nov 12, 2017
The Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has said he is under intense pressure to contest in the 2019 Election. Speaking to Dele Momodu, Goodluck said he is moved to tears, having seeing people shout, “GEJ, we want you back”.

Jonathan, who ruled out the possibility of returning to office, said reflections on his achievements and mistakes make him sober.

“I’m not God but I sincerely doubt the possibility,” Jonathan was quoted to have said in response to a question on the next election.

“People come to me every day saying they want me back. I’m always moved to tears whenever I go out and see the huge crowds shouting GEJ, we want you, even in the north.

“Instead of getting swollen headed, I actually reflect on my achievements and mistakes and feel humbled and feel very sober…


“I have never been a man of inordinate ambition. I’m a man of very modest means. I hardly travel because of the logistical costs. I’ve played my part and I have moved on.”

Asked what he would do if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gives him its presidential ticket in 2019, he said: “Are you not aware that our party has zoned the presidency to the north, and the chairmanship to the south?

“Even Fayose that has declared his interest may face big challenges because of the decision of our party.”

Even though I don't like APC for being sectional, I will never vote GEJ if he contests again.

I can't believe he said this. Maybe its a statement in error. Don't let people decieve you Oga, they just want to ruin your career finally.

If it didn't work out in 2015, what makes you think its going to work in 2019? Apply wisdom, sir.

If It didn't work out in 2015 even when you were in power,so it's now that APC have tasted power and would go to any length to retain it that you want to become President.
Bros.J,just relax for Otuoke jejely.

This man oozes of knowledge and humility. How can a man be almost perfect in his speeches.

God give the knowledge and grace u have given this man. AMEN.

The media has got you diick riding GEJ for foolish reasons.

If his intentions for the country was to better the lives of Nigerians and not for selfish reasons, he would not have been kicked out of office.

Politics is a game. He lost the game even before the final whistle.

Re: Jonathan: I Am Under Pressure To Contest 2019 Election, But I Won't Contest by Nobody: 1:10pm On Nov 12, 2017

Lol.
Joke of the year, 2017.

Even if Buhari has failed, we should consider another option and not GEJ
Re: Jonathan: I Am Under Pressure To Contest 2019 Election, But I Won't Contest by Joephat(m): 1:10pm On Nov 12, 2017
angry

My highest mistake was campaigning against this learned President. I actually gave almost ten persons reason to vote apc instead Of GEJ but I always feel guilty when ppl commit suicide and are suffering.


My sister's business actually went down bcz of APC and one man who had proniome Custom job, told me that he can't get me job again bcz of the present govt.

All is well

He must have been quoted out of context. He didn't plan to come back

Trust me those people asking you to come back are not your friends. ��

Much as the one sitting there is an airhead with a lot of body odour and a whole basket of inactions, nobody wants you back
