Goodluck Jonathan, former President of Nigeria says he has been under pressure from Nigerians who are asking him to recontest the position of the president in 2019 after his exit in 2015.
But Jonathan who said this in a recent interview with Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine says he doubts the possibility of his coming back to contest as Nigerian president.
“I’m not God but I sincerely doubt the possibility,” he said.
“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.”
Though the former president said he is always moved to tears when he sees huge crowds shouting ‘GEJ we want you back’, he disclosed that reflections on his achievements and mistakes make him sober.
“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.” Jonathan said
