I was chased out of office, can never come back again’ – Ex Nigerian President

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has rubbished claims of his possible return to power, saying the manner in which he was chased out of office in 2015 has discouraged him from aiming to govern again.

The former president, whose words were contained in a book entitled ‘My Time As Chaplain In Aso Rock,” written by Nathaniel Bivan, noted that he would be diminishing himself by opting to pick a form and start lobbying people and campaigning for elections again.

While commenting on the group that purchased the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential nomination form for N100 million on his behalf, Dr. Jonathan said he enjoyed the drama because he can never become President again.

He 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,” he explained.
