''Anyone who desires to lead Nigerians must first be prepared to address issues raised by Nigerians'' - Jonathan

''Earlier today, I participated in the Presidential Debate organized by the Nigerian Elections Debate Group (NEDG). I am convinced that anyone who desires to lead Nigerians must first be prepared to address issues raised by Nigerians. I also believe we must encourage a culture of debate and conversation to grow our democracy,'' President Jonathan wrote on his facebook page.
