Tension ahead of 2015 disturbing —Jonathan The Punch President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday vowed to use his influence as the President of the country and as the leader of the ruling People’s Democratic Party to end what he described as “political excesses” currently characterising the nation’s polity. He said his intervention had become necessary because politicians’ excesses were unnecessarily overheating the polity ahead of the 2015 general elections. A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, quoted Jonathan as making the pledge during a closed-doors meeting he had with a delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association, led by its President, Mr. Okey Wali (SAN), and three of his predecessors, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. While responding to the concerns raised by the NBA on political developments in the country, especially the happenings in Rivers State, the President said he would do all that was humanly possible to curb the rising political tension in the country, which he described as uncalled for.
