Shelve 2015 bid to ease tension, ex-NDP chairman tells Jonathan

Addressing newsmen in Abuja Chukwuani noted that the increased stand-off between security operatives and the Boko Haram insurgents in the North East region may have been caused by the president’s perceived ambition to contest for the 2015 presidential elections.
He said if he were in Jonathan’s situation, “I will concentrate on providing good leadership for the people. Remember it is lack of good leadership that brought up the insurgency in the first place.”
Chukwuani stated that any case of instability in a country, the leadership of the country must take the responsibility of stopping it.
He also described the forthcoming national conference as illegal saying it was the least of the nation’s problems.
“The conference has no foundation in law and in our constitution; it will be of no use to Nigerian democratic structure” he said.
