Goodluck Jonathan
The
immediate past President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan, has said he is under intense pressure to contest in the
2019 Election.
While speaking in an interview with Ovation magazine publisher,
Dele Momodu, former President Goodluck Jonathan, said people have been
asking him to contest the 2019 election adding that he is moved to tears
seeing people shouting “GEJ, we want you back”.
According to TheCable, the immediate past president who ruled out
the possibility of returning to office, said reflections on his
achievements and mistakes make him sober.
“I’m not God but I sincerely doubt the possibility,” Jonathan was quoted to have said in response to a question on the next election.
“People come to me every day saying they want me back. I’m
always moved to tears whenever I go out and see the huge crowds shouting
GEJ, we want you, even in the north.
“Instead of getting swollen headed, I actually reflect on my achievements and mistakes and feel humbled and feel very sober…
“I have never been a man of inordinate ambition. I’m a man of
very modest means. I hardly travel because of the logistical costs. I’ve
played my part and I have moved on.”
Asked what he would do if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gives him its presidential ticket in 2019, he said: “Are you not aware that our party has zoned the presidency to the north, and the chairmanship to the south?
“Even Fayose that has declared his interest may face big challenges because of the decision of our party.”
