But the opposition All Progressive Congress, APC, believes that the declaration was in bad faith and that the President has no moral standing to contest next year. In the words of the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the 'President is very insensitive to the plight of the students and their parents and danced on the graves of the killed students', and therefore, should withdraw from the race.
Do You Agree That GEJ Should Withdraw From 2015 Presidential Elections?
On Tuesday, 11 November, 2014, President Goodluck Jonathan declared his intention to run for the 2015 presidential elections, just a day after the mindless Boko Haram bombing in a secondary school in Yobe State, where close to 50 pupils died.
But supporters of the President say that since the date had been set already, there was no way it could have been changed.
On Morning Teaser today, we ask: do you agree with the APC that President Jonathan should withdraw from the 2015 race?
