I Never Said I Won’t Contest For A 2nd Term- President Jonathan

    President Jonathan while addressing Islamic Clerics
    yesterday at the State House in Marina, Lagos said he never promised Nigerians
    that he will not contest for a 2nd term, that he was only quoted out
    of context. According to him, the Late Yar’Adua came up with a political reform
    then saying a Nigerian president should be allowed to run for seven years and
    not four years and he had agreed to the terms and said, if Nigerians allowed
    that, he will not be contesting for another term. He also challenged the people
    running the advertorial of his alleged single term rule to play the full tape.
    According to him, the full tape will give Nigerians a better understanding of
    what he meant. His words after the cut.

    “I need to clarifiy this otherwise I do not need to talk
    about it. This matter continues to come up.”
    “I made that statement in Addis Ababa, when I addressed
    Nigerians. I made that statement after I had won elections.”
    “I was advising Nigerians in Addis Ababa and I made mention
    of this issue of seven years of single tenure as being the best for the
    country.”

    “I now added that if Nigerians will agree to run a single
    tenure of seven years I will not contest. That was the statement I made.” “Those
    who are advertising on television that I said I was not going to contest a
    second tenure should play the whole tape,” he said.
