Address by His Excellency, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR On the Occasion of His Declaration of Intent to Run for the 2015 Presidential Elections under the Platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Eagle Square, Abuja Tuesday 11th November, 2014 Dear Compatriots:

1. Four years ago, precisely September 18, 2010; I stood in this Eagle Square, to offer myself for election as the President of our
beloved country on the platform of our great party; the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP).

2. Seven months after that declaration, you elected me to lead this country with overwhelming support from all parts of our
Nation. I remain grateful for the trust you reposed in me to lead our Nation through uncommon challenges in our march of progress as a united and democratic country.
3. Over the years, the Almighty God has made it possible for me to develop a bond with you and I am grateful for your support and understanding in the difficult periods
we have journeyed through.

4. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our
stewardship has not been without
challenges. We have had to deal with the
wave of insurgency that has swept through
some parts of our dear country. Only
yesterday, Government Science Secondary School in Yobe State was bombed by
insurgents, killing our promising young
children who were seeking education to
build the country and support their
parents. Many Nigerians have lost their
lives and property to these mindless killings. Let me crave the indulgence of all
present here to stand up to observe a
minutes silence in honour of these young
lads who lost their lives. Clearly, this has
cast a dark cloud on our Nation but we will
surely win the war against terror. A number of young men and women have
been kidnapped by these criminal
elements including our daughters from
Chibok. We will free our daughters and defeat terrorism.

5. We are equipping the armed forces and deploying special forces to engage the terrorist and end this senseless war. We must protect our country. We must save our people. I will do everything humanly possible to end this criminal violence in our Nation.

6. To ensure the long term stability and development of the affected areas, government has launched three programmes: The Presidential Initiative for the North East, the Victim Support Fund and the Safe School Initiative. The Presidential Initiative for the Northeast is
focused on improving infrastructure and economic growth in the region. The Safe School Initiative is centred on creating a safe environment to encourage our children in the communities to acquire education. The Victim Support Fund, a
partnership with the Private Sector, has raised about 60 billion Naira, which will help to empower and rehabilitate victims of terror. I promise the victims of these
dastardly acts that we will continue to stand with you.

7. I am grateful to all Nigerians for
standing with me.

8. Let me also thank the leaders and elders of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party, for the opportunity you have given to me to serve our country, Nigeria.

9. I am overwhelmed by the trust,
confidence and support of the various
organs of our party, the Board of Trustees, the National Caucus, the National Executive Committee, the National Working Committee, the PDP Governors Forum, members of the PDP Caucuses of the National Assembly, and others.

10. This day affords me the opportunity to continue the conversation of development we started together.

11. Infrastructure has been a major focus area of my administration and so, we pursued the power sector reform to this point of irreversible progress. Nigeria has undertaken a most transparent and corruption free bidding process, attracting global commendation. The on-going
450MW Azura Power Plant in Edo State is a testimony to the success of this transformation.

12. We have also resumed development of our Hydro-Power potential, with the construction of the 700MW Zungeru Hydro-Power Plant, while construction work on the 3,050MW Mambilla Hydro-Power Plant
is about to take off.

13. Our power generation and distribution companies have now been privatized. We are firmly on the road to guaranteed regular power supply in the months ahead.
This our bold move, is paying off!

14. We are committed to environmental protection and conservation and reducing
vulnerability to climate change. In this regard, we have embarked on a number of projects across the country. Of particular note is the African Great Green Wall Programme, where we have released about 16 billion naira for implementation.
The project will create a green belt across11 states from Kebbi to Borno.

15. In the past three and half years, the water sector has witnessed unprecedented improvement. Access to potable water is now 67%, up from 58% in 2010, while sanitation coverage is 41%, from 32%
within the same period.

16. Major developments in water include the completion of 37 Dams and rehabilitation of 10, with several others on-going construction. The flagship Kashimbila Multipurpose Dam which is being built to contain flood from Lake Nyos, is now at 90% completion. We have also completed about 5,000 rural and semi urban water schemes.

17. We are reforming the National Urban Water supply programmes in 12 states, with 385 formal and informal irrigation projects, covering a total land area of 118000 ha, cultivated mostly by small holder farmers. This has yielded over 3 million metric tons of assorted grains and vegetables, with a market value of about 45 billion naira.

18. Before the advent of this
administration, the Railway system was practically dead. Today, we have revived the rail sector. The narrow gauge line from Lagos to Kano has been rehabilitated with improved coaches providing regular services. The rehabilitation of the Port
Harcourt-Maiduguri rail line is progressing with the Port Harcourt-Gombe segment as well as the branch line from Kafanchan to Kaduna expected to be completed and fully
operational by December 2014. 19. Already, work on the Abuja-Kaduna
standard gauge rail line, is progressing. The tracks of the rail line will be completed by December this year 2014. Upon completion of the project in the first quarter of 2015, it will be possible for Nigerians to live in Kaduna and work in Abuja. The Itape-Ajaokuta-Wari standard
gauge line has attained an advanced
stage, with the track completely laid. We hope to commence full operation before the end of 2015. 20. Other segments of the new standard gauge speed train network are planned
with contract already awarded for the
Lagos –Ibadan Segment. There will be more of such modern and faster rail connections in the coming years. Already, discussions are now at advanced stage, for the Coastal rail line that will traverse through 10 states, from Lagos through the
South-South and South-East, all the way to Calabar.

21. My administration has successfully
completed the dredging of the lower River
Niger from Baro in Niger State to Warri in
in Delta State. The cheering news is that
over 6.7 million passengers and over 1.6
million tonnes of cargo have been moved through this channel in less than three
years. 22. I am happy to also report that our ports
now operate 24 hour service, which has led
to the reduction of clearing time and
improved efficiency. 23. When I assumed office in 2010, out of
the 35,000km of federal roads nationwide,
only about 5,000km were motorable.
Today, that number has increased to about
25,000km. We expect to complete the
remaining 10,000km in three years while initiating new ones. 24. I made a commitment to build two
new major bridges across the River Niger
and River Benue. Today, the new bridge
over the River Benue, connecting Loko in
Nassarawa State to Oweto in Benue State
has reached an advance stage of completion, while work has commenced on
the Second Niger Bridge. 25. Beyond these, my administration has
concluded plans to re-commence the
construction of Bodo-Bonny Road with
three major bridges on the alignment that
will link the Island of Bonny with Rivers
mainland. 26. Preliminary works have started on my
administration’s planned re-construction
and expansion of the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport Road in Lagos to a
world class entry point into our country.
Only a few months ago, work started on the dualization of Kano-Katsina Road.
While many Nigerians are celebrating the
marked improvements on our roads, I
want to assure that it will get even better
as we move forward. 27. In the pursuit of an integrated
transportation system, we embarked on
the construction of five new Airport
Terminal Buildings and Air-field facilities.
We are also re-constructing existing ones.
The re-construction upon completion, will lead to improved passenger processing,
increased cargo handling capacity and
enhanced Air-field facilities that meet
international standard and improves
safety. These efforts have been met with
global acknowledgement including the attainment and retention of the FAA
Category One status. 28. In housing, we signed the National
Housing Policy to kick-start the framework
for providing more affordable homes for
our people. We have also expanded the
National Housing Fund to accommodate
more Nigerians. We have started a revolution in the housing sector with the
start of the Nigerian Mortgage and
Refinanced Company (NMRC) a new
initiative of my administration, that will
enable more citizens in the lower income
bracket to become first time home owners. 29. Our partners such as the World Bank
group are supporting this with
US300million dollars interest free credit,
while my administration will back it with
over 100billion naira in bonds. We are
already processing 66,000 mortgage applications for our young people. We have
amended the PENCOM Act to enable the
pension funds invest in housing sector
bonds. This will create a boom in the
housing sector. 30. In the Federal Capital Territory, we are
rapidly building a befitting National
Capital by expanding and providing new
infrastructure, developing ten new districts
and Satellite Towns to cater for the ever
increasing population. In no distant future, you will be able to arrive at the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport and proceed
to the city using the Abuja Light Rail. In
addition to providing durable health,
educational and transportation services,
we are also collaborating with Organized Labour to build functional, affordable and
social housing in Abuja. 31. Other critical capital developments that
are being packaged by this Administration
include the development of the Ultra-
Modern World Trade Centre, the Abuja
Town Centre, the Jabi Lake Comprehensive
Centre, the Centenary City and the Land Swap Districts. This private sector driven
infrastructural development will positively
change the skyline of the city and provide
the required office and residential
accommodation, shopping and recreation
as well as tourism and entertainment facilities of the FCT.
32. In our determination to encourage
much greater participation of Nigerians in
the oil and gas industry, one of the first
actions I took, was the enactment of the
Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act. As a result of this law,
indigenous Nigerian participation levels, in
upstream and downstream activities of the
oil and gas industry have increased by over
45%, thereby increasing employment
opportunities for our youth. 33. We have also succeeded in eliminating
the long queues that previously
characterised our filling stations, through
regular and sustained product supply. 34. Gas infrastructure to ensure adequate
Gas to Power and Gas to Industry, is being
aggressively put in place. Over 450km of
gas pipelines have been installed over the
last 3years. Another 2,000km is planned
over the next 4years. Critical petrochemical and fertilizer facilities have commenced
including the gas industrial park in Delta
State, for which I am scheduled to perform
the ground-breaking this Friday. This will
create millions of jobs and make Nigeria a
regional hub. 35. In addition, as a result of government
favourable policies the private sector is
investing over 12 billion dollars in the
petrochemical sector, over the next 4years.
This will surely create millions of jobs for
our people. 36. In terms of gas supply, we have grown
from less than 500 million cubic feet per
day, 4years ago, to about 1.5 billion cubic
feet per day currently. Our goal is to attain
4 billion cubic feet per day, over the next
4years. 37. We have changed the face of
agriculture. We moved agriculture away
from a development Programme to
agriculture as a business. My vision is to
create wealth for our people through
agriculture. 38. We have focused on encouraging the
private sector to boost investments in the
agricultural sector. As a result, the number
of seed companies rose from five to eighty
in the past three years. Private sector
investment in the agricultural sector expanded by $ US 5.6 billion across the
Agricultural value chain.
39. We ended decades of corruption in the
fertilizer and seed sectors. We developed a
transparent and efficient system of
reaching farmers directly with subsidized farm inputs. Before our reforms, fertilizer
procurement and distribution took from
the needy and gave to the greedy. We
restored dignity back to farmers. Today, 14
million farmers, of which 2 million are
women, access fertilizers with their mobile phones, through an e-wallet
system. Nigeria is the first country in the
world to develop an e-wallet system to
reach farmers with subsidized farm inputs
on their mobile phones. Several African
countries are now borrowing this transparent and efficient e-wallet system
for their own countries. 40. Our national food production expanded
by an additional 21 million metric tons
between 2011 and 2014, a record,
exceeding our set target of 20 million
metric tons set for 2015. The Dangote
Group, has committed to invest $US 1 billion in commercial rice production and
processing. With all these developments,
we are expected to be an exporter of rice
in the next five years. This will be a new
dawn! 41. The benefits are showing on our food
imports. Our food import bill has declined
from 1.1 trillion Naira in 2009 to 684
billion Naira by December 2013, even with
our increasing population, a reduction of
40%. 42. Nigeria met its Millennium
Development Goal One on reducing hunger
and extreme poverty, two years ahead of
2015 target set by the United Nations, and
was given an award by the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. 43. To sustain this trend, we are
encouraging young graduates through the
Nagropreneurs Programme to go into
commercial Agriculture. We are also
encouraging our students in Post Primary
Schools to embrace commercial Agriculture through the National School Agriculture
Programme. 44. My dear people, corruption remains a
big challenge in our national life. It
corrodes our efforts at development and at
motivating competence in critical sectors
of our national growth. We have
eradicated it in the agricultural sector and we will surely eradicate it in other sectors
of our economy. 45. Going forward, my focus is to continue
to reinforce institutions, systems, and
processes to tackle corruption, and also to
bring to justice those that perpetrate
corruption. Through the Integrated Payroll
and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), we have weeded out 56,000 ghost workers
from the Federal Civil Service, saving 162
billion naira. 46. I have directed ICPC to bring the
perpetrators of this criminal act to book.
Let this be very clear, public officers must
live by example, fully accounting for the
national trust and resources in their care. 47. In our journey to progress, knowledge
is indispensable. Knowledge is power! This
is why my administration established 14
new Universities out of which 12 are
conventional and two are specialized
Police and Maritime Universities. Under my watch, every state in Nigeria, now has a
Federal University. 48. In addition, over 500billion naira have
been spent, through the Tertiary Education
Trust Fund (TETFund) and the special NEEDS
assessment fund on various projects to
increase access and improve the quality of
infrastructure at the tertiary level of our education system. 49. To provide equal access and
opportunities in education and ensure that
no Nigerian child is left behind, we have
established and equipped 150 Almajiri
Schools across the Northern states and the
Out-of-School-Children Programme including Specialized Boys and Girls Schools
across the country. 50. Fellow Nigerians, our country was
faced with a major National security,
humanitarian, and economic threat in the
form of the Ebola Virus Disease, which
arrived in the country on July 20, 2014, by
way of a foreign national, Mr Patrick Sawyer. 51. Realizing the imminent threat, I
declared a national emergency, pulling
states, local and federal government into
action as well as individual Nigerians to
combat this disease. Without the quick
action of patriotic Nigerians in the First Consultant Hospital, as well as the co-
operation of Lagos and Rivers State, where
the disease occurred, working with the
Federal Ministry of Health and the co-
operation of all Nigerians we could not
have succeeded in overcoming this deadly disease. Fellow Nigerians we stopped
Ebola together. 52. Just as we stopped Ebola, we are on
our way to eradicating the Polio Virus in
our country. We have reduced the incident
of new Polio Virus from 300 in 2010, to 6
today. 53. My brothers and sisters, to encourage
entrepreneurship and self-reliance among
our teeming graduates, we have developed
creative opportunities for enterprise for
our young people. 54. Programmes such as YouWIN, the
Graduate Internship Scheme, the
Nagropreneurs Initiative, the 220 Billion
Naira Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
Development Fund and the 3 Billion Naira
Grant to Nollywood are empowering our graduates, the creative industry and other
young people to start up their own
businesses and employ others.

stories that touch

55. We have supported the growth of
industry through policy and action. We
launched The National industrial
Revolution Plan (NIRP), and the National
Enterprise Development Programme as key
drivers to bring about our desires in the industrial sectors and to diversify our
economy. Our new National Automobile
Policy is transforming Nigeria into a
vibrant hub for the automobile industry.
Our own Innoson Motors is producing world
standard vehicles, and Nissan, Hyundai, and Kia, have set up factories in Nigeria
and are employing thousands of our
people. 56. Our support for cement production is
unprecedented. We have increased our
installed capacity from 16.5 million metric
tons per annum in 2011 to 39.5 million
metric tons per annum in 2014. Nigeria is
now exporting cement. We are moving forward! We must produce what we
consume and consume what we produce. 57. Our efforts to create an enabling
environment for job creation in different
sectors of the economy including the MSME
sector, agriculture, housing and
manufacturing have yielded results.
Between the third quarter of 2012, when we started tracking jobs created and the
end of 2013, 1.9 million jobs were created.
To deepen our success in this area, I have
created a Presidential Jobs Creation Board
headed by the Vice President with the
mandate to create at least two million jobs a year. 58. My brothers and sisters, our economy is
heading in the right direction and our
efforts are yielding positive results. Our
economy continues to grow at the rate of 6
to 7 percent annually, one of the highest in
the world. Our country is now the top investment destination and the largest
economy in Africa, with a GDP of 80trillion
naira (510billion dollars) as well as the
26th largest economy in the world. 59. As part of its efforts to support
inclusive growth and economic
development in Nigeria through the CBN,
my administration has created and
disbursed the sum of 200billion naira via
the Commercial Agric and Credit scheme, 300billion naira Power and Aviation fund,
220billion naira Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprise Fund, as well as 300 billion
naira rail sector refinancing facilities at
single digit interest rate. We will continue
to deepen the reforms in the financial sector, in order to sustain the growth of
our economy and uplift our people from
poverty to prosperity. 60. Dear Compatriots, I promised as
President, that we would sanitize and
restore integrity in our electoral process,
by ensuring that our votes are not only
counted, but truly count. We have gone to
great length to ensure transparent, free, fair, and credible elections. Elections have
been conducted across the country with
local and international election observers
testifying to their transparency. 61. On the international scene, we have
advanced our regional, continental and
global objectives. We have strengthened
our relationships with our neighbours and
in many instances supported them to
protect their democracy, security and stability. We are serving for a second time
within a period of 4 years at the United
Nations Security Council. This is
unprecedented in our Nation’s history. My
brothers and sister, this is a growing
attestation of our country’s growing influence. 62. In the first quarter of this year, our
country celebrated its centenary. To
prepare the nation for the challenges of
the next one hundred years, I convened a
National Conference where
recommendations and resolutions were reached towards a more perfect union. We
shall implement the report. 63. Four years ago, I made a commitment
to advance the rise and rise of
womanhood. Today, I am glad that we
have made remarkable progress in this
regard, trusting in the potential of our
women and reaping from their dedication and ingenuity. I believe that any nation
that ignores womanhood cannot achieve
its full potential. It is in this regard that I
ensured that women were given more
opportunities in government, and I have
not been disappointed. 64. Specifically, I doubled the percentage
of women in the cabinet and gave them
more challenging assignments. 65. The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA),
is now admitting female cadets as regular
combatants and it is now possible for a
woman to rise through the ranks to the
peak in military service, and become a full
general. 66. We must continue to sustain the
banner of freedom and justice that we
have held high in our country. I am proud
to say that there are no political prisoners
in Nigeria today. No Nigerian has been
driven to exile and no one will be, under my watch. 67. It is in furtherance of a peaceful,
participatory and inclusive democracy that
I signed the Freedom of Information (FOI)
Bill into law, to expand the frontiers of our
fundamental freedom. 68. Let me re-affirm that under a Jonathan
Presidency, your views, no matter how
freely expressed, will not send you to
prison or into exile. 69. I am convinced that I have kept my
pact with Nigerians, and it is now time to
look to the future. With your tremendous
support, we have collectively done so much
in the last three and half years, but to take
our country to the next level, there is still more to be done. 70. History has shown that the path of
honour for any true leader is not to walk
away from his people in moments of
challenges. We must stand together in
adversity and overcome all threats to our
development. We must defend our future, for the sake of our children. 71. So many things have inspired me in the
journey to this moment. I want to
appreciate ordinary Nigerians, especially
young people, for the solidarity shown to
me by contributing their meagre resources
to enable me arrive at this point. 72. I appreciate the kind gesture of the
Cattle Breeders Union, Miyetti Allah, and
the Market Women Association, who
encouraged me by coming together to
contribute to the purchase of my
Nomination form. 73. In the same vein, I am touched by the
National Association of Widows who also
encouraged me with their widow’s mite. 74. This labour of love, from ordinary
Nigerians, has increased my appreciation
of your solidarity, my trust in our joint
destiny, and all we have achieved together
these past three and half years. 75. Therefore, after seeking the face of
God, in quiet reflection with my family and
having listened to the call of our people
nationwide to run, I, Goodluck Ebele
Azikiwe Jonathan, have accepted to re-
present myself, on the platform of The Peoples’ Democratic Party, for re-election
as the President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, in the 2015 general elections. 76. Democracy is a collective action,
energized by individual responsibility. Your
mandate at this time will inspire in me the
strength to complete the good work we
have started together. 77. My dear people of Nigeria, we must
complete the task of ensuring that we lift
the poor out of the depth of want, and
place their feet firmly on the ladder of
prosperity. 78. In this election season, I appeal to all
of you, not to harm, maim or kill; and not
to incite violence of any kind. We must
never forget our common bond, one people
from the womb of one Nigeria. Again I say:
My ambition to serve you is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. I remain committed
to this principle of non-violence. 79. If you believe that we must build a
country that works for all, where the
strong lift up the weak, and not trample
upon them, where the vote of every citizen
determines who governs or represents you,
where the democratic space is open to all citizens to fulfil their aspirations,
irrespective of the circumstance of birth,
your brother, Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe
Jonathan stands ready to continue in
service to you.

80. My brothers and sisters, we cannot go
back to the old ways! Our railways were
allowed to rot in neglect, we have revived
and are modernising them. 81. We cannot go back to the old ways! Our
road infrastructure collapsed. We are
reconstructing, and expanding federal
roads across the country. 82. We cannot go back to the old ways! Our
airport terminal buildings were
dilapidated and our airspace unsafe. We
are fixing this. 83. We cannot go back to the old ways! Our
agricultural practices did not benefit our
farmers and our people. Fertilizer
distribution was a major source of fraud
and we were importing food more than
our budget can carry. Now we are on our way to self-sufficiency in food production. 84. Do you want to go back to the old
ways? 85. We cannot go back to the old ways,
where there were long queues at our
filling stations due to irregular supply of
products and our people were exploited. 86. We cannot go back to the old ways,
when women and youths were denied
opportunities in government and in
responsible positions. 87. Do you want to go back to the old
ways? 88. We cannot go back to the old ways! We
had skewed distribution of tertiary
institutions. Whereas some states had
more than one degree awarding
institution, some had none. We have now
made sure all states have at least one Federal University. 89. We cannot go back to the old ways! Our
economy is now the largest in Africa. Once,
we were virtually importing everything,
now we are exporting several products,
including cement. 90. We cannot go back to the old ways! In
2009, average life expectancy was 47
years, by the end of 2013, it was 52 years.
Some of our hospitals now perform open
heart surgeries, kidney transplants and
other challenging operations as we reposition our health service to end
decades of medical tourism that drains our
scarce resources. 91. We cannot go back to the old ways!
Together, in unity, we overcame Ebola, and
in the process demonstrated the strength
of the Nigerian spirit. And together,
united, we must maintain our vigilance. 92. Do you want to go back to the old
ways? 93. We cannot go back to the old ways
where individual freedoms were trampled
upon and citizens were locked up for
expressing their views or criticising
government. 94. Do you want to go back to the old
ways? 95. We cannot go back to the old ways! We
must continue to have free and fair
elections. We cannot go back to the era
where ballot box snatching and stuffing
became the norm. Where your votes never
counted. 96. Certainly, we cannot! 97. We have to move forward! Only
forward!!, my dear people, Forward!!! 98. In moving forward, I see a Nigeria that
thirsts for progress with children across
the nation, eager for knowledge and safely
in schools! 99. I see a Nigeria where all who have
taken up arms, would again embrace
peace! 100. I see a Nigeria where our women can
aspire to any heights, without hindrance! 101. I see a Nigeria where the flames in
the Eagles will rekindle, and the Falcons
soaring higher in victory!
102. I see a Nigeria where the children of
Mustapha, and Christopher, Ade and Ada,
Timi and Bunmi, Nnamdi and Namadi, do not go hungry! 103. I see a Nigeria where all, no matter
their beliefs, live in peace and harmony! 104. I see a Nigeria where the green
passport is accorded a royal reception the
world over! 105. I see a Nigeria where one day the
next generation will take us to outer
space. 106. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
leadership is about staying focused to
achieve goals despite challenges. I have
been faced with many challenges since
coming to office as President. With your
support and encouragement, we have stayed the course. 107. We are succeeding, against all odds.
For the young Nigerian child, who grew up
in the rural area, just like me, we are
expanding opportunities and giving them
hope. For the market woman, we are
expanding opportunities. For our young entrepreneurs, we are expanding
opportunities. For the right of our people
to vote and for their voices to be heard, we
are expanding opportunities. For Nigerians
to have the right to free speech, we are
expanding opportunities. For the job seekers, against all odds, we are
expanding opportunities. 108. While serving our people, I will always
ensure the rule of law. I do not intimidate,
I expand the democratic space. I give voice
to the voiceless and uphold the weak, for
the nation belongs to us all. Fellow
Nigerians, as we build our democracy, leaders must show temperance at all
times. That is a virtue, one which I
treasure, and will always uphold. 109. My people, Nigeria is destined for
greatness. Today, here at Eagle Square, I
say to Nigeria, that working together in
love, in strength and in faith, we will build
a nation of one people, united in purpose
and in action. 110. Fellow Nigerians, it is forward ever!
We must put our hopes to work! Together,
we will realize our collective destiny. 111. Thank you!! 112. God bless Nigeria!!

Dr. Goodluck, Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan,
May the Almighty God crown all your efforts, strengthen your heart, give you the wisdom to lead this great nation to its days of glory and grants you your heart desires come 2015 in Jesus name, amen.

You shall ride on the increasing intimidation, blackmail, destructive criticism, hatred, propaganda, incisive statements, insults/abuses, terrorism and political gang up against you to new heights like the eagles that settled its wing on the the toughest wind and soared higher. Amen!

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

Voting for the other candidates may be an
even bigger risk. Presidents who have ruled before ,
wanting to rule again. Isnt that the
funniest thing ever. You'd think they did a
fantastic job prior

Story for the Gods, unfortunately they won't be voting next year.

Did i just read fighting corruption?

95% of GEJ archivements only exist only on papers as he raid it.
Corruption is on the rise, inflation d same, no good roads, power decreases by the day.
unemployment rate is worst. Education, Health all only improves on papers.
To an average Nigerian, this is tales by moonlight.


If am voted into power within
the next four years, the issue of power will
become a thing of the past. Four years is
enough for anyone in power to make significant
improvement and if I can’t improve on power
within this period, it then means I cannot do
anything even if I am there for the next four
years.”-GEJ 2011

mrofficial:
Who will read all his bullshi.t? Who takes him seriously?

I DID
He is my president, God made him my leader and asked me to respect, obey and pray for him.

For sure, he is not the best president in the world. He has his own weaknesses as our president and much is expected from him, I don't like certain things about him and some of his policies like other Nigerians, but if I must criticize him, I must be constructive in my criticism. I must not criticized him for criticizing sake without a reason.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

Pray my Generals forgive you else. . . Your two kids and husband will suffer.
