The 2015 general elections are getting closer, and President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has expectedly been employed several tricks to create some bubbles around his ambition. To some people, he will not run, while to others, he will definitely be part of the race.Goodluck-jonathan Running

As the debates of whether he would run or not continues to gather momentum, the President has remain mute, claiming that he would make his position known at the right time. But his recent comments during a chat with Nigerian diplomats working in the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, UNECA, and the African Union, AU, in Addis-Ababa, has created more suspense.

During the chat on Tuesday, his comments portray a man speaking from both sides of the mouth. President Jonathan spoke on his second term manifesto, yet, he stylishly said he would not run.

Hear him: “I promise that if voted in for the next four years, I would ensure significant improvement in key sectors of the economy — security, power, education, road, health among others. Without security, there is no government. So it is not debatable, it is something we have to address and we are working towards that with vigour.

But if I'm voted into power within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and if I can't improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything even if I am there for the next four years.

“I would have loved that the Nigerians in Diaspora vote this year but to be frank with you, that is going to be difficult now. Presently, the law does not allow the voting outside Nigeria and so this year Nigerians in Diaspora will not vote but I will work towards it by 2015 even though I will not be running for election.”

Could this be a political trick or a real piece of Mr. President's mind? Keep a date here.
