But not to go and pick one form and go and start lobbying people and running for campaigns; I can\u2019t do that again. If I do that, I will diminish myself,\u201d the former President said.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan said he enjoyed the drama that characterised the rumour earlier in the year that he had purchased a nomination form of the All Progressives Congress to enable him to contest for the party\u2019s presidential ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that prior to the 2022 APC presidential primary, a group, Nomadic Pastoralists and Almajirai Community, led by Ibrahim Abdullahi, purchased the N100m nomination and expression of interest forms in Jonathan\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the group\u2019s decision, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/12\/03\/2023-jonathan-turns-down-request-to-resolve-atiku-wike-feud-yet-to-forgive-atiku\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jonathan<\/a> said, \u201cI 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, \u2018Oh, this man should come,\u2019 that means they are cleaning me up. So, let me enjoy the drama.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was not disturbed. I know I cannot go and start struggling to be President again. It wasn\u2019t only Nigerians who were asking me such questions, even most of the top ambassadors -the American ambassador, the UK High Commissioner, France, and all of them. They came to ask me whether I would contest. I don\u2019t think I would contest any election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you wake up tomorrow and see that I\u2019m 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\u2019t do that again; if I do that, I will diminish myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the only roles acceptable to him now involve stabilising democracy in troubled African states.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cAssuming there\u2019s some confusion, and sometimes things like that happen in countries. So, they tell me to come and play a role in stabilising things; a stable democracy where one leader hands over to another is what we all want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us go through that process and not interrupt the democratic processes. We pray such things should not happen. Otherwise, to go and say I\u2019m contesting on the platform of any party at all. No!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan argued that the APC\u2019s same-faith ticket would eventually lead to a lapse in the representation of Nigeria\u2019s religious diversity.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cWhen I took over as the vice president, the tradition then was that if the President were a Christian, the Vice would be a Muslim and vice versa. We have religious festivals in Nigeria and, of course, National Day, where there will be Jummah prayers and Christian prayers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians are religious people, this is why I get worried about the issues of Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian ticket. Yes, Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian can run the state. But I always ask, \u2018who will represent this other bloc whenever we come to the national days that we celebrate?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said that he would be diminishing himself if he starts to lobby people and campaign to become President of the country again.
