The Presidency on Friday said no individual or cabal was capable of stopping President Goodluck Jonathan if he decided to seek re-election in 2015.
Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, who spoke to SUNDAY PUNCH on behalf of the Presidency said only voters could decide Jonathan’s fate.
Gulak said from the political consultations carried out, it was clear that Nigerians had seen that there was no alternative to the President in 2015.
The presidential aide said Nigerians, both at home and in the Diaspora, were unanimous in their verdict that the country was safer in Jonathan’s hands.
He said, “I have said it before and severally that it is Mr. President’s constitutional right to offer himself for second term in office. It is Nigerians that will either vote for him or not, not a cabal, not a few individuals, not those who believe Presidency is their birthright.
“The birthright of every Nigerian to stand election is there. You can see for yourself, it is overwhelming, Nigerians are calling on the man to come out and they will vote for him.
“We are just waiting for him to answer the clarion call. It is a call for peace; it is a call for unity, a call for continuous development. It is just a matter of time.
“Nigerians have seen there is no alternative to President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. We have gone round the country; even Nigerians in the Diaspora are unanimous on the fact that Nigeria is safer in President Jonathan’s hands.”
Gulak confirmed that the President was reaching out to all those that matter, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He however did not give details of such moves.
