Jonathan Opens Up On N100m APC Presidential Form Drama

President Goodluck Jonathan has for the first time opened up on the drama over the purchase of the N100 million APC presidential nomination form for him by an unidentified group.

Speaking at a book launch in Abuja, the former president said that he was chased out of the presidency and watched with amusement the drama to return him to power.

President Jonathan said he would have diminished himself by picking the form and lobbying the same people who pursued him out of office to vote for him.

Jonathan spoke at the launch of the 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.

Speaking on the drama associated with the purchase of the APC presidential nomination form for him, Jonathan said he enjoyed the drama because he could never become President again.

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.”
