2023: Should Goodluck Jonathan Vie For President Or Not?
There are strong indications that some powerful Nigerians are putting pressure on former President Goodluck Jonathan to choose a presidential candidate for the 2023 election.
Barr. Olusegun Bamgbose, a New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) chieftain, has stated that former President Goodluck Jonathan will soon defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to him, the ruling party is doing everything possible to maintain power at any cost.
Bamgbose stated that the APC is unconcerned about the current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari’s poor performance.
In a conversation, the senior lawyer recalled Senator Stella Oduah’s recent joining of the party, adding that Oduah’s move was in preparation for Jonathan to decamp as well.
“The carrot they’re dangling in front of him. Is there a chance that he will be given the APC presidential ticket? Jonathan has agreed in principle to join the APC before January 2022, according to a source close to the former President’s camp.
Considering the fact that many Nigerians also lend their voice on Jonathan to return back to Aso Rock come 2023, what is your take on this. Let’s discuss.
