"Goodluck Under Pressure to Contest" - Ahmed Gulak

Ahmed Gulak the Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs during a meeting with Elders’ Advisory Council of the Goodluck Support Group in Abuja said President Goodluck Jonathan is under intense pressure from his supporters to contest 2015 presidential election.

He said that even Nigerians in the Diaspora were “itching” to come back to the country in order to cast their votes for the Peoples Democratic Party in 2015.

Gulak said that they have received various support groups being coordinated by the Goodluck Support Group (GSG) and as of today have 1,665 campaign groups who have volunteered to work for his re-election in 2015

“The last to visit was the Ochendo Solidarity Movement from Abia State. About 150 (groups) of them came to this office. We discussed. They have called on of Mr. President to declare his intention.  They said they were not flattering.” Gukak said

The Presidential Adviser, who is also the National Coordinator of the GSG, however, said Nigerians should be patient with the President till 2014 as he would not break his promise to declare his decision in 2014.
