Jonathan Officially Declares For Second Term

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday formally declared that he will seek a second term of office at next year’s general election while addressing the large crowd that turned out for his declaration today.

“I, Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, have accepted to present myself on the platform of the PDP,” he told supporters of his Party at a mass rally held today in Abuja.

Jonathan has been the Head of State since 2010 when he took over following the death of President Umara Yar’Adua, winning elections in 2011.
