President Goodluck Jonathan has stated that no Nigerian would lose his life because of his second term ambition.
Jonathan promised to build on the foundation laid by the founding fathers of this nation.
The president took to his Facebook wall Thursday morning to beg all Nigerians to join him at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos as he kick-starts his campaign in the city of Lagos today.
He wrote:
“My dear friends on Facebook,
I have said it before and I will continue to say and live by the fact that my ambition, and indeed the ambition of anybody, is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. Therefore, I urge all Nigerians to look forward in hope as we fulfill the dreams of our founding fathers to ‘build a nation where peace and Justice reign’.
In that regard, we must make the election of February 14th, 2015, a contest amongst brothers rather than a struggle between foes.
In my political life, I have never been driven by the love of power. Rather, I have gotten to where I am today by the power of love which is the power that fueled the unity that saw Nigeria become the largest economy in Africa and defeat the Ebola Virus Disease.
Today, as I open up my campaign in the cosmopolitan city of Lagos, which is a melting pot for all Nigerians, I invite both the young and the old, men and women, students, market women, transporters, activists and indeed all Nigerians, to come and join me today at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.
I will not dictate to you. I will listen to you. It will not be a monologue. I will dialogue with you. My brothers and sisters, come and join me so we can chart our forward movement together.(Daily Post)
