tabloid, yesterday, Obasanjo said during the 2011
electioneering, Jonathan promised to serve one
term.
President Jonathan said, not only once, twice,
publicly, not only in Nigeria, outside Nigeria, that
he would have one term, and said that to me,”
Obasanjo said.
In the interview, Obasanjo challenged Jonathan to
be a man of his words while reminding the
president of the implication of not keeping vows.
One of the things that is very important in the life
of any man or any person, is that he should be a
man or person of his word,” Obasanjo said, adding:
“If you decide your word should not be taken
seriously that’s entirely up to you.”
In the report, Bloomberg News stated that its effort
to reach Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to
the President, Dr. Reuben Abati, proved abortive as
his phones were switched off.
“Reuben Abati, Jonathan’s spokesman, could not be
reached on his mobile phone for comment, as it
was switched off,” Bloomberg News stated.
Ever since the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) released the timetable for next
year’s elections, there have been pressure on
Jonathan to declare his intention, as to whether or
not he would contest 2015 presidential election.
Though Jonathan has neither confirmed nor denied
his rumoured ambition to contest the election, the
issue has remained a thorn in the flesh of the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a
development that has given birth to pro-and anti-
Jonathan groups.
