President Goodluck Jonathan has given reasons why he will not return to contest the presidency of the country again.
Jonathan explained that he cannot forget how he was chased out of office in 2015.
He further noted that he will be diminishing himself if he chooses to run and start lobbying people again for election purpose.
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 unveiling of the book was done on Tuesday in Abuja.
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.”
