South-South Group called on former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest 2027 presidential election
A group in the South-South has called on former President Goodluck Jonathan to consider contesting the 2027 presidential election, citing his experience and democratic credentials as assets Nigeria could draw upon at a critical time.
The call was made in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, by the spokesperson for the South-South Vanguard Renaissance Group, Mr Henry Tamuno, in a communiqué issued yesterday.
He said members of the group believe Jonathan remains well-placed to contribute to national leadership if he chooses to re-enter active politics.
According to Tamuno, the former president’s time in office and leadership style continue to resonate with many Nigerians who are concerned about the country’s current economic and governance challenges.
He described Jonathan as a seasoned democrat with a track record that, in the group’s view, deserves renewed consideration.
