Former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (Rtd.) on Wednesday declared that he cannot canvass support for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan. Danjuma, who just returned from abroad, was on a visit to the President at his official resident in the Presidential Villa. 


The philanthropist, who also heads the government’s Victims Support Fund, disclosed that he is not a member of any party and won’t canvass votes for politicians. He spoke with State House correspondents after about ten minutes discussion behind closed-doors with the President. Asked what he discussed with the president, he said: “Confidential. Don’t speculate. 

I came to visit the president and find out how things are going. I have been abroad. I just came back.” On whether he will canvass support for the president for the elections, he said: “I don’t canvass. I am not in any of the political parties. The president is Nigeria’s president.”
