Jonathan did not give a definite position on his rumoured ambition.

He however spoke about the issue of insecurity in the country and called for support for the Federal Government and the security agencies to overcome the challenges.

The former president noted that Nigeria was not the only country affected by insecurity, adding that he had his challenges to deal with while in office.

Eko Hot Blog had reported that Governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had  visited the former president as part of efforts to strengthen and build on the party’s national appeal and acceptance.
