Goodluck Jonathan Finally Accepts To Run For Presidency, Joins APC In Bayelsa.

Former President Goodluck Ebelechukwu Jonathan has reportedly decided to run for president in 2023, barely 48 hours after disowning a nomination form procured for him by a northern group.

Recall that the former President had on May 9, 2022 rejected presidential expression of interest and nomination forms of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) bought for him by a Fulani group. He later visited APC chairman Abdullahi Adamu, a shuttle his aides said was to distance himself from the purchase.

According to a credible source in Mr Jonathan’s camp, state-run newswire, News Agency of Nigeria, “Mr Jonathan has finally made up his mind to vie for the top post he lost to the incumbent in 2015." The source, pleading anonymity, told NAN that the former president has also joined the APC formally, having registered at his Otuoke Ward in Bayelsa.

Meanwhile, Mr Jonathan is expected to submit the duly filled forms bought on his behalf on Thursday, the source offered further.

According to reports, the former president has secured the support of the required number of APC delegates from across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. “Several bigwigs of the party have also been calling Jonathan to pledge their loyalty and support to the former president,’’ the source revealed.

The source told NAN political correspondent late on Wednesday that some influential African leaders had called Mr Jonathan earlier on Monday to advise him to contest the election in the interest of Nigeria.
