Former Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, says he will not contest for the presidency in the future because throwing his hat into the ring again will ‘diminish” him.
Newsbreak.ng reports that Jonathan left office in 2015 after five years at the helm of affairs.
Speaking in an interview published in a book, ‘My Time As Chaplain In Aso Rock,” presented to the public on Tuesday, ‘GEJ’ as Jonathan is fondly called, said the only roles acceptable to him now involve stabilising democracy in troubled African states.
“If you wake up tomorrow and see that I am 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; I can’t do that again. If I do that, I will diminish myself,” the former President said.
