Circumstances Beyond Me If I Am President Again, Jonathan Makes Shocking Announcement

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has stated that if Nigerians see him as President of the Nation again, this is due to situations above his control.

The elder statement stated this in an interview published in a book, ‘My Time As Chaplain In Aso Rock,” presented to the public on Tuesday.

According to him, he will never run for the position of president any longer, noting that it will be degrading of him to start lobbying people for campaign.

However, if it is so that he emerges the first citizen of the nation, it will be as a result of circumstances beyond his reach.

Jonathan disclosed this while addressing the earlier claims of purchasing the APC’s presidential nomination form.

Recall that, ahead of the APC’s 2022 primaries in June, Ibrahim Abdullahi’s Nomadic Pastoralists and Almajirai Community organization bought the N100m forms under Jonathan’s name.

In his words, “I was not disturbed. I know I cannot go and start struggling to be President again. It wasn’t only Nigerians who were asking me such questions, even most of the top ambassadors -the American ambassador, the UK High Commissioner, France, and all of them. They came to ask me whether I would contest. I don’t think I would contest any election.

“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.”

The book written by Nathaniel Bivan contains the accounts of the Chaplain of the Aso Rock Villa Chapel during the Jonathan administration, as disclosed by The Punch.
