I Never Said I’ll Not Contest Second Term, Says Jonathan by Omooba77: 1:20pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
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. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/02/22/i-never-said-ill-not-contest-second-term-says-jonathan/ 10 Likes 3 Shares |

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. ![]() 97 Likes 5 Shares |

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' 12 Likes 3 Shares |

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. 105 Likes 6 Shares |

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!! 109 Likes 6 Shares |
