2015 not on my mind for now, says Jonathan

By The Nation: Vincent Ikuomola, Abuja

 

President Goodluck Jonathan

From the Presidency came a reminder yesterday to the political class to leave President Goodluck Jonathan out of the ‘hue and cry’ over the 2015 presidential race and allow him deliver on his promises to Nigerians.






He expressed "deep concern" over the growing furore in political circles and the media over his alleged plans to seek re-election in 2015.
The President’s Special Adviser on Media, Dr. Reuben Abati said in a statement last night that the ‘irritating distraction’ was getting out of hand and must be reined in.
" What began as an irritating distraction some months ago, appears to have now assumed a life of its own, dominating political discourse in the country, with all kinds of mischief-makers and opportunists latching on to it, to heat up the polity unnecessarily," Abati said, adding: " The pointless, diversionary and very distractive hue and cry about the President’s alleged ambition to seek a second term in office is becoming increasingly disturbing by the day with headlines such as "JONATHAN’S 2015 AMBITION CAN BREAK UP NIGERIA" and "JONATHAN’S 2015 AMBITION FUELING INSECURITY," now regular fare in our newspapers and on the internet.
"For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, President Jonathan wishes to reiterate that his primary concern and the focus of all his efforts now, just about a year into the four-year tenure for which he was elected in April 2011, is to deliver on his promise of positive national transformation.
"The President’s sole preoccupation as the nation moves towards the first anniversary of his administration on May 29, 2012 is to continue to give effective and purposeful leadership that will steer Nigeria towards overcoming its immediate security and developmental challenges.
"Nothing could be farther from President Jonathan’s mind at this point in time than the 2015 elections. The President has definitely not directed or authorized any individual or group to launch any campaign on his behalf.
"As he has repeatedly warned on many occasions, including the last national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party, the inordinate ambition of a few self-centred Nigerians and their obsession with the politics of political succession in 2015 must not be allowed to distract the nation and its current leadership from the task of dealing with the much more urgent issues of development and the safety of Nigerians in all parts of the country.
"President Jonathan urges the political class and the Nigerian mass media, once again, to focus on the immediate priority of protecting, preserving and consolidating democratic governance in Nigeria, and giving the nation’s current crop of elected leaders at all levels the opportunity to deliver on their promises to the people without the distraction of an unending campaign for future elections."
