2015: Factors that will guide my decision —Jonathan
President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday assured
that his decision to run for second term will be
guided by national harmony, cohesion, unity,
security, political stability, progress, equity, justice
and fairness.
In an Eid-El-Kabir message to Nigerians he
personally signed yesterday, the President said he
would place national interest above any personal
ambition or sectional agenda.
He challenged other politicians to do the same as
they prepare for the 2015 general elections.
Felicitating with men and women of the Islamic
faith as they celebrate this year’s Eid-El-Kabir, he
also urged them to pray for peaceful and
successful conduct of the 2015 general elections.
He said: “With this week’s issuance of a formal
notice of the impending general elections by the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), another national campaign season is now
truly upon us and I urge all political leaders in the
country to place the overriding interest of the
well-being and progress of our fatherland above
all other considerations in the coming campaigns
and elections.
“I thank the many individuals, stakeholders,
groups, associations, non-governmental
organisations, unions and political leaders from
across the country who have, in recognition and
appreciation of our efforts and commitment to
repositioning our dear nation for more rapid
growth and development, urged me to seek a
second term in office.
“In deciding on an appropriate response to such
calls, I will place the greater inter ests of national
harmony, cohesion, unity, security, political
stability, progress, equity, justice and fairness
above any personal ambition or sectional agenda.
“I urge all other political leaders in the country to
do the same. Let us all rise above unedifying,
unpatriotic and selfish personal interests and
divisive sectional agenda in the coming national
elections.
“Let us also commit ourselves more to the
sustenance of democracy and political stability
which are essential prerequisites for the
advancement of good governance, inclusive
economic growth and rapid development.”
On the 2014 Eid-El-Kabir celebration, he said: “I
greet and felicitate with all our countrymen and
women of the Islamic faith as we celebrate this
year’s Eid-El-Kabir. I also congratulate all believers
who have successfully undertaken the Hajj this
year as enjoined by Prophet Mohammed (may
peace be upon Him).
“As they conclude the rites of the Hajj and
prepare to return home, let us all join them in
offering special prayers for greater security,
peace, unity and progress in our dear country
