Amid claims of his returning to power, former President
Goodluck Jonathan has opened up on why he would not contest for the Presidency
again.
Jonathan said he can’t run for the Presidency again because
he was pursued out of office in 2015.
The former President said he would be diminishing himself by
opting to pick a form and start lobbying people and campaigning for elections
again.
He stated this in a book, ‘My Time As Chaplain In Aso Rock,”
written by Nathaniel Bivan, which detailed the accounts of the Chaplain of the
Aso Rock Villa Chapel during Jonathan’s era, Obioma Onwuzurumba.
The book was presented to the public on Tuesday.
But, commenting on the group that purchased the All
Progressives Congress, APC, presidential nomination form for N100 million,
Jonathan said he enjoyed the drama because he can never become President again.
A group, the Nomadic Pastoralists and Almajirai community
had purchased the N100 million APC nomination forms for Jonathan ahead of the
party’s primary election.
Jonathan said, “I was enjoying the drama. At least they are
not insulting me. After all, I was pursued out of the office that I was not
good enough. So, if now, Nigerians are saying, ‘Oh, this man should come,’ that
means they are cleaning me up. So, let me enjoy the drama.
“If you wake up tomorrow and see that I’m President again,
that means there may have been circumstances beyond my control. But not to go
and pick one form and go and start lobbying people and running for campaigns,
be it PDP power or APC broom and moving across Nigeria. I can’t do that again;
if I do that, I will diminish myself.”
