Below is what the former president allegedly said:- The truth of the matter is that Jonathan is aware that Buhari is qualified to contest for President Election but some hawks with Jonathan, do not want him to contest because they believed that he will win and come for them. The issue came up in 2007, and we investigated and found out that his WASEC is with the military and that was why he was allowed to contest in 2007. Buhari cannot listen to anyone about his certificates because as a General of Nigeria Army, he will speak when he chooses, not by Femi Fani Kayode and Okupe asking him.

I see Buhari as the next President and Jonathan is aware of that, and that is the reason they are hitting him everywhere...

The National Human Rights Commission, yesterday, reviewed the controversial advert placed in some major national newspapers in the country by Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State with a verdict that the material amounted to “hate speech.” According to Vanguard, though the commission may not immediately arrest and prosecute Fayose because of the immunity he currently enjoys as a sitting governor, the rights commission might recommend him for appropriate sanctions once he leaves office.

The NHRC chairman noted that the governor went too far in his controve...

President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday visited the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, in his palace in a bid to get the traditional ruler’s blessing for his re-election bid. He was in the city in continuation of the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential campaigns.

There were unconfirmed reports then that the Presidency moved to ensure that Sanusi did not emerge as the Emir. During the Wednesday visit, Jonathan congratulated Sanusi on his installation and condoled with him and the p...
