In an exclusive chat with TimesNow.com.ng, Ogoegbunam Kingdom, director of Platform for Youth and Women Development, acknowledged Jonathan’s contributions to democracy in Africa and globally since leaving office.
Kingdom criticised those calling for Jonathan’s candidacy, labelling them as hypocrites for previously working against his re-election in 2015.
He stressed that Jonathan has held various positions, including Vice President, Acting President, and President, and should not engage in politics at this level to preserve his legacy.
His words:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that some northern political leaders have rejected the current President, Bola Tinubu and are reportedly working discreetly to convince former President Jonathan to enter the 2027 presidential race.
Insiders familiar with the strategy pointed to recent comments by Bauchi state governor Bala Mohammed, who hinted that he would refrain from contesting if Jonathan decides to run.
The governor’s statement was described as more than just speculation.
