Former president Goodluck
Jonathan has said that he has no reason to quit the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), or retire from politics for now.
He made the statement on Sunday,
through his Media Adviser, Mr Ikechukwu Eze, in reaction to a report by an
online publication, which claimed that the ex-president had resigned from PDP
and quit politics.
Eze’s statement described the
news as fake, saying that it was a “calculated attempt to rubbish the elder
statesman”.
“The PDP gave Jonathan the
platform to serve as Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President and eventually
President of Nigeria. Jonathan has no reason at this time to resign his
membership of the platform.
“Those who derive pleasure in
spreading fake information had better occupy themselves with more productive
endeavours that are obviously more relevant to nation-building.
“Obviously, this is a fabrication
borne out of mischief as the publishers of the fake story claimed that the
former President made the statement while being interviewed by the Nigeria News
Agency(NNA).
“There is absolutely no way the
former President could have spoken to a non-existent news agency, as none in
the country goes by that name,” NAN quoted him as saying.
