Former President Goodluck Jonathan speaks on running for Presidency again

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has finally addressed reports which made rounds in some quarters that he intends to run for presidency again.

Dr.Goodluck Jonathan said that contrary to reports that went viral, he doesn't intend to run for the Presidency again.

This was contained in a book titled, ‘My Time As Chaplain In Aso Rock,” written by Nathaniel Bivan and presented to the public on Tuesday.

The book detailed the accounts of the Chaplain of the Aso Rock Villa Chapel during Jonathan’s time in office, Obioma Onwuzurumba, Daily Post reports.

Jonathan explained that he can’t run for the highest office in the country again because he was pursued out of Aso Rock.

According to the ex-president, he would be bringing himself low by choosing to pick a nomination form and start lobbying people as well as campaigning afresh.

Meanwhile, he also spoke about what he felt when Nomadic Pastoralists and Almajirai community purchased the All Progressives Congress, APC, N100 million presidential nomination form on his behalf.

The former Bayelsa state governor said he enjoyed the drama that accompanied the act because he can never become President again.

Jonathan said; “I was enjoying the drama. At least they are not insulting me. After all, I was pursued out of the office that I was not good enough. So, if now, Nigerians are saying, ‘Oh, this man should come,’ that means they are cleaning me up. So, let me enjoy the drama.

“If you wake up tomorrow and see that I’m President again, that means there may have been circumstances beyond my control. But not to go and pick one form and go and start lobbying people and running for campaigns, be it PDP power or APC broom and moving across Nigeria. I can’t do that again; if I do that, I will diminish myself.”

Dr.Goodluck Jonathan was voted out of office in 2015 on account of insecurity and poor economy.
