I did not sign any agreement. If I signed, they would have shown it - Jonathan

THOSE waiting for President Goodluck Jonathan to officially declare interest or otherwise in the 2015 presidential election may have to wait longer.

  He explained Sunday that apart from an early declaration creating more problems in the polity than it is aimed to solve, it would equally be breaching regulations in that regard.

   During a Presidential Media Chat  in Abuja Sunday, Jonathan noted that the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) rules and regulations concerning election processes were clear and none of the provisions mandate that the President must declare early.

   However, the President denied ever entering into any agreement with any person or group not to seek a second term in office. He challenged any person or group with such a document to make it public.

   The President, who believed that critics of his reported ambition were merely heating up the polity as regards 2015, said he did not need to declare his intention to run before others with such ambition did so.

   On his alleged agreement not to contest in 2015, he said: “I did not sign any agreement. If I had signed (any agreement), they (the critics) would have shown it (document).”
