So, he\u2019s a man we can\u2019t forget, just like Sani Abacha, who created the state and Mr. President. Of course, we\u2019ve named the airport after him, we\u2019ve named the light tunnel after him, we\u2019ve named the Presidential Lodge after him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood intention that we don\u2019t forget people who have helped us, but on the question of joining, I may not say much about that because I\u2019ve seen a lot of write ups, denials, but if he decides to join and to run, it will, for me, become one of the wonders in this century.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason is that if you go and see the campaign programs of APC and you now ask President Jonathan to come and run, I don\u2019t know what will be our campaign promises and what will be the stories we\u2019ll be telling Nigerians. I believe strongly that he was not aware of the forms and I want to believe that people that are mischievous would have bought the forms to embarrass him.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cBut from what I read, he has quickly distanced himself from that. But like I said, if that is not the case, then the Guinness Book of Records is not totally filled up.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State has expressed concern over the kind of messages the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be telling Nigerians with former President Goodluck Jonathan as&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76406,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
