President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday said that he was quoted out of context in the statement he made on running only a single term.

The president said this when he had an interactive session with Islamic Clerics from South West region at the State House, Marina, Lagos.

“I need to clarifiy this otherwise I do not need to talk about it. This matter continues to come up.”

He said those who have been playing the tape where it was shown that he had pledged to run only a single term had not been sincere.

The President said that what happened was that late President Umaru Yar’Adua came out with political reforms when he, Jonathan was the Vice president.

Jonathan said that he was the chairman of the interparty group of the committee set up by late Yar’adua to agree on the president’s proposal for a single tenure.

He said the statement he made in Addis Ababa was within the context of the proposal.

“I made that statement in Addis Ababa, when I addressed Nigerians. I made that statement after I had won elections.”

He said that he told the audience in Addis that that recommendation would move the country forward.

“I was advising Nigerians in Addis Ababa and I made mention of this issue of seven years of single tenure as being the best for the country.”

“I now added that if Nigerians will agree to run a single tenure of seven years I will not contest. That was the statement I made.”

He said that he still believed in that recommendation in order to prevent the waste of resources during re-election bids of incumbents.

Jonathan said the section of the broadcast which featured former president Obasanjo took place in 2011 during the PDP presidential primary.

He said that he did not want to join issues with Obasanjo because the party members were there for primaries and “I just wanted to win my primaries”.

He reaffirmed his earlier stand that if Nigerians accept his proposal of a single term of seven years, he would not re-contest.

“Those who are advertising on television that I said I was not going to contest a second tenure should play the whole tape.”

Jonathan said people were diminishing the office of the president because of politics.

He further said that even with the past campaign for the 2015 polls almost concluded, if Nigerians would accept that single tenure of seven years, he would not bother to contest the election.

He thanked the clerics for giving him the opportunity to clarify the statement and urged them to continue to pray for the unity and prosperity of the country,

Earlier the Chief Imam of Oriwu Central Mosque, Ikorodu,Llagos, Sheikh Oshoala Ajagbemokeferi, had urged the president to carry every Nigerian along in his administration.

The Imam pledged support for the programmes of the administration and urged the government to conduct a free, fair election to win the favour of God.

This guy is Naija's latest


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEdvv-YEpOA

i have no links with the guy though...but

I just love the song cos the words mean more than boy/girl love

When u think abt it

"If i no dey, would you think about me"

That is the thought in the minds of our soldiers battling boko haram..day n night..just so that we may sleep safe..

But when they die..would we even atleast think abt them?

Even though you don't want to contest for second term, We the lovers of Nigeria want you to continue the transformation agenda. We prefer you to an illiterate Certificateless herder.

Mr. Liar!

How did we end up with this nincompoop? We must have offended the gods to get GEJ as a punishment for our offence.

This man can lie for Africa o

PDP = People Decieving People




GEJ = Scammer





Buhari till GEJ repent of his Lies and deceit

Aliyu Banbagida still got d file u sign to convince the north in 2011...

Gej till 2019 dats all i know

We know you didn't don't border xplaining

Hmmm..

Ha!
Oni iro aye ati orun ni ogbeni yi sha!
That was not it o, the guy is lying through his teeth.
It doesn't really matter to me who wins by the way, but I will not cease to say it when I hear a lie, even if it is the type Abraham told about his wife being his sister just to save his head.
He can (and will) contest from all indication, but saying he didn't say he will not stay beyond one tenure na lie! Haba!!!

Modified: This lie dey pain me. Where is Ayelala when you need it.

GEJ is a renowed Liar

No hiding place for the clueless one because he's going back to Otuoke come May 29.

tunex23:
Yes! as long as stealing is not corruption, Bunch of fooools

As long as Buhari can stabilize world oil price, bunch of illiterates.

The elders would say 'two people can't be fooled by lie at the same time: If the man being lied to is unaware of the hoax, the liar is aware that he's lieing'. Late Pa Abraham Adesanya can tell you what it feels like to fall mugu for 'pre-second-term lies'. But In a nutshell, political truth is a lie. Jonah, I don hear you o, you are telling the truth politically: a payback time for 'father of lie'

Lol.. The f0ols who have built their defence on this would be damned right unwilling to accept it.
But it doesn't matter. Like he said, someone should play the full tape.

Hmmmm

Brother stop that

Noooo, I hate lies

You actually said it

But anyway

Whether you said it or not

You gonna win this election

GEJ till 2019

This man is a disappointment, I regretted why I voted for him. I heard him said it, and caused a lot of discussion in vehicle I board that faithful day. I was of the opinion then, that he wouldn't have said that. Can't mr President be sincere for ones.

Obasanjo called Jonathan a liar; he just confirmed it.

Jonathan is a bloody liar,but the Imam is wiser than him.The Imam said,"conduct free and fair elections.Shikenah!

as usual.....always denying facts

SeverusSnape:

As long as Buhari can stabilize world oil price, bunch of illiterates.

yes he will do it....

A president with no honour. This is disgusting.

OrlandoOwoh:

The man is manifestly evil.This same president in front of a watching worldwide television audience openly lied that he wasnt consulted by army chiefs b4 they sought for election postponement!So what is the bigdeal to him to also lie about what he said about 2nd term.
Besides,a man who can conveniently allow an insurgency by terrorists to persist and decimate lives of fellow citizens,only to order a full fledged onslaught due to impending defeat at the elections is evil personified!!
