Jude Imagwe, former Special Adviser to President Goodluck
Jonathan, has said that his principal is neither power-hungry nor power-drunk.
Imagwe made this statement during an interview on News
Central Television.
He was reacting to the Taminu Turaki-led faction of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, declaring Jonathan as its presidential candidate
ahead of the next year’s general elections.
The ex-presidential aide said there is no indication that
Jonathan received, completed or submitted any nomination forms related to a
2027 presidential bid.
“One thing is clear. That is the fact that I do not think
former President Jonathan is power-hungry or power-drunk.
“If he was power-hungry, he would not have relinquished
power in 2015. I also do not think that President Jonathan is desperate to
return back to Aso Rock because clearly he hasn’t forgotten anything there.
“I also know clearly that Jonathan is where he is today
through several sacrifices, through commitment, through discipline, through
resilience, and above all, through humility.
“But the unfortunate situation is that certain persons that
have masqueraded themselves with dangerous ambition to perpetually want to
remain on the airspace of public conversation as regards 2027, have chosen to
begin to drag an innocent gentleman’s name who, for reasons too, has still not
said anything about it.
“What is clear is that there is nobody that gets a
nomination form that does not have his or her signature on it, and such
instances are ceremonial.
“There is no pictorial evidences that suggest that any of
these documents were done by the former president,” he said.
