2023; I Will Quit Politics If Jonathan Joins APC To Contest 2023 Presidency -Vatsa

TUNDE BOLAJI – MINNA
A former spokesman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), and former Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism in Niger state, Mr. Jonathan Vatsa has said that should Goodluck  Jonathan accept the offer, he will not only leave the ruling party, he will quit politics.
“I pray it is a mere rumor or fake News, but if former president Goodluck Jonathan accept to contest the forthcoming election and under APC, then I will agreed with a former governor who once said there is no morality in politics. I will not only leave the party, I will quit politics and go back to farm”.
Vatsa who spoke with Correspondents in his reaction on the news of Jonathan contesting the Presidential election in 2023, and under APC, said he is aware that the ruling party is desperate not to allow the power return back to the opposition PDP in 2023 “after our seven years of disappointing performance in all aspect, the option of Jonathan should not be on our table”.
“We told Nigerians in 2015, that Jonathan was a devil, Jonathan was corrupt, Jonathan was incompetent to address Insecurity in the country, Jonathan is from a minority tribe, and all manner of propaganda, seven years after he is now an angel”.
The former Publicity secretary of the party in Niger state pointed out that the ruling All Progressive Congress lied to Nigerians in 2015 in a desperate move to get the power at all means, including threat of violence which has today divided the country along ethnic and religious line, adding that “this country has never being so divided as it is today”.
He attributed the wave of killings and tension all over the country today to what he called the hatred campaign by the ruling party ahead of the 2015 general elections, stressing that “today there is no mutual love and trust among the various ethnic groups in the country, and this started from 2015.
“The desperation at which we want to bring Jonathan back is a confirmation that there was nothing wrong with the Jonathan government, rather some people wanted power at all cost even when they know that they are not competent and capable.
According to him, “I have said it before and I will repeat it again that we as a party have nothing to tell Nigerians in 2023 for them to vote for us, because we failed and have taken the country back 20 years. We must apologize to Nigerians because everything is now three times worst than we met it in 2015, and that is the truth.
“Since 2015 we have continued to blame Jonathan and PDP for our inability to perform and fix the country, and now we want to give the government back to the same man we accused of destroying this country, this is a huge joke and amount to taking Nigerians for granted.
“There is a complete lack of morality in Nigerian politics and will not be part of this deceit. Posterity will not forgive some of us. This country is in dear need of a honest leader”.
On the chances of Jonathan wining the election if he eventually declared, Vatsa said “he can not win under APC no matter the amount of rigging anybody wants to rig it. Nigerians can not sincerely vote for APC again no matter who is the candidate,  or is it those that their relations are with Kidnappers that will vote you or those that their loved ones have been killed by Kidnappers.
“You can not rig election when the people are not with you, it is the people that help you to rig election and the people are not with us right except we are lying and deceiving ourselves that the people are with us”, he submitted.
