‘God made Jonathan president; we must support him for reelection’ – Tukur

Immediate past Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur has said that President Goodluck Jonathan must be supported for a second term as President.

Tukur made the remarks during a visit to him by the Niger Delta PDP Youth Movement at his hime in Abuja.

He said, “You can’t change a captain of ship at the middle of sea and, therefore, Jonathan must get to the destination.”

“We must support Jonathan.  It is not Jonathan that killed Umaru, late President Umaru Yar’Adua.   No, no, no, no. It is God. In our constitution, when there is no president, the vice president takes over.

“God shows, and understand that it is God that gives power. So, He shows you. Even though you decide to give power, He will show you who He wants to give that power and the type he wants.

“So, the idea is to follow. To follow and continue encouraging what God has showed us so that he can be motivated, he can be assisted to continue doing what we want, which he is doing on our behalf. That is the most important.”
