Why Goodluck Jonathan shouldn’t run for 2027 presidency – Wike | READ DETAIL

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan not to fall for those coercing him to contest in the 2027 presidential election.

interacting with journalists in Abuja on Monday, Wike said;

“I know Jonathan very well. He has international respect and should maintain that. These same people weighing Jonathan down are the ones who played him in 2015.

“They are only trying to cause confusion in the party.

“People pushing Jonathan, what strength do they have? Were they not the same people who worked against him in 2015?

“Those calling for a Jonathan candidacy are the same political actors who ‘played him’ during the 2015 elections.”

Speaking also on contesting himself, Wike added;

“I have integrity, I have character. The person who appointed me is there. We are saying he should run.

“Then I will turn around to say I want to run? What kind of thing is that? How will my children even look at me? I will not run for president.”
