President Goodluck Jonathan is set to declare his intention to seek re-election during the 2015 presidential election. The poll has been fixed for February 14 next year by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Following the release of the election timetable by INEC on Friday, the Presidency on Saturday said Jonathan would make public his decision on the 2015 presidential election soon.
President Jonathan has so far resisted pressure to declare his intention regarding 2015. On different occasions, he said he would only make his decision known this year.
Last Thursday, while speaking on the sidelines of the just-concluded World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Jonathan said he was awaiting INEC’s green light.
He said, “I am not going to talk about whether I am standing for election or not because it is not in line with our laws. INEC has a time frame within which candidates are expected to declare. If you declare before that time, you are actually contravening the Nigerian laws. So, I won’t tell anybody that I am contesting or that I’m not contesting.”
The 2015 ambition of the President has become controversial with loyalists and opponents of Jonathan heating the polity with their statements.culled and edited
