The spiritual head of the Inri evangelical church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has said that the invitation of former President Goodluck Jonathan to join the race for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket is a ploy to destroy ‘the good name and integrity he built’ while in office. In August, Bauchi state governor, Bala Mohammed, also lent his voice to the agitation, vowing to jettison his presidential ambition if Bayelsa-born Jonathan agrees to contest.....CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE
According to Governor Mohammed, the former Nigerian leader has the requisite experience to revamp the economy
and would do a good job if given a second mandate to manage the country.
In the same vein, in an interview withThe Punch, Ibrahim Abdullahi, the deputy national publicity secretary of the PDP, said the positions of the Bauchi
governor and northern elites resonated with the main opposition party.
Reacting, Ayodele advised Jonathan
not to yield to the temptation to contest in the 2027 general election.
He said in a video posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, September 6:
“Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, don’t contest in 2027. If you contest, you will spoil your image. Don’t contest, don’t let any politician push you. You have done so well. You have a better record, you have a good record, don’t contest. Please, don’t contest.”
