Goodluck Jo.nathan my man.

He is telling Bayelsan's and the PDP faithful, to take heart and be law abiding, as it looks as if PDP will lose the election.

Patience Jonathan said: Make unu no fight ohhh, make unu quarrel oh.

IBB, Shonekkan and Abdulsallam were NEVER Presidents. They were military Generals. There is a VERY Big Difference between "President" and unconstitutional Military Head of State/ Head of Interim Government.

Jimmy Cartar, Bill Clinton, George Bush etc are still called PRESIDENTS! Google search will help!

TonyeBarcanista:
The title of President like Senator, General, Ambassador etc is eternal. It doesn't matter whether or not Jonathan still occupies the Office of the President, the ko-ko is that the title of President stays with him...

Former President Goodluck Jonathan, wife, Patience Jonathan and his mother suffered card reader malfunctions while trying to get accredited today at the Bayelsa governorship election.

The family had to return home, and came back an hour later, when Jonathan and Patience were successful, but not the mother.

 The sweating Jonathan said that he wasn’t worried about the malfunction and described it as a little delay.

“President Jonathan is just one person, so if we have problem with one person, as far as the elections is going on well nationally,” he said. “I’m not worried, there might be a delay, my interest is that we conduct a credible election.”

He said that no sacrifice was too much for the nation and told eager voters to be patient with the electoral body and make sure they get accredited.

Like I said, google will help. For the last time, it is the norm to call Presidents with the title... It is also okay to add "former' or "ex" prefix. Same way we can do for Senators, Ambassadors and Generals.

Question: Is a Former President Addressed as President (name)?

I have been directing people to refer to
former presidents as President (last name). Is that correct?
--- Anna McDonald, Stafford, Virginia

Answer: Dear Ms. McDonald:
This issue is complicated since we hear
former Presidents referred to as
President Clinton and President Bush
on the media all the time; Here's what is the correct formula as it appears in my book (assuming they didn't have an
honorific other than Mr./Ms. to go back
to ... as General Dwight D. Eisenhower
did.) :

Former President of the United States
Envelope, official:

The Honorable
(Full name)
(Address)

Letter salutation: Dear Mr./Ms. (surname):

Conversation: Mr./Ms. (surname)



Here's the WHY behind the correct
form:

This is the traditional approach for
any office of which there is only one
office-holder at a time. So, with officials such as mayors, governors or presidents

... only the current office holder is
addressed as Mr. Mayor, Governor, or
Mr. President ... formers are not
addressed that way.

That's not to say some reporter might
not call a former mayor Mayor Smith or
a former president President (Surname).

But doing so is incorrect and confusing to
the public.

The former office holder is no
longer due the precedence and
courtesies we extend to the current office holder. He or she speaks with the authority of a private citizen. We honor former office holder's service, but the 'form of address' -- which acknowledges the responsibilities and duties of office -- belongs only to current office holder.

With offices of which are many office-
holders at a time ... senators, admirals,
judges, etc. addressing 'formers' with
their former honorific not disrespectful to a singular current office holder.

To explain the correct form I would
say "using the title of a former
position is flattering to the former
official and he or she may not correct
you, but is not respectful to the
current office holder. There's only one
"(name of the office)" at a time."

Jonathan has the mentality of the peaceful. progressive and matured attitude of an average Biafran.

I am yet to see such statesmanship among the Arabian wannabes.


Imagine the bombshell if Buhari were to face the same situation.
