Ex-president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, told his supporters who trooped to his Abuja office on Friday calling on him to contest for president in the forthcoming General elections that he can’t say if he is going to declare
The supporters came bearing posters with inscriptions that read “Goodluck Jonathan must run for president 2023” “Jonathan is our candidate” and much more
The former president who has been in the news lately, over a possible comeback in 2023 after losing a second term bid to incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2015, said after a meeting with his supporters that Nigerians, should pray for a leader who has the best interest of the youths at heart
He said “You are calling me to come and declare for the next election. I cannot tell you I’m declaring. The political process is ongoing, just watch out.

“The key role you must play is to pray that Nigeria gets somebody that carries the young people along; somebody that can also work very hard to see that some of the problems are addressed by the government and I believe collectively, we will work together.”
With this, it remains unclear if past President Goodluck Jonathan will bid for the presidency in 2023.
