Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan GCFR, GCON (born 20 November 1957) is a Nigerian politician who served as the President of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015. Before attaining the most powerful position in Nigeria, he served as Vice President of Nigeria from 2007 to 2010 and as Governor of Bayelsa State from 2005 to 2007.

As Buhari prepares to exit in 2023, there have been unconfirmed rumours that he may likely contest for the post of president again. If Goodluck Ebele Jonathan decides to contest, here are 16 Powerful Reasons Former President Goodluck Jonathan Won't Win in 2023.

1.) Goodluck Jonathan has always been riding on luck. He attained political positions upon the downfall of another person. He became governor of Bayelsa state from 2005 to 2007. He later became President after the death of Umaru Yaradua.

2.) He did not achieve anything as President. Just like every other Nigerian government, he promised heaven and earth but delivered nothing. Hence, there are no chances of Goodluck winning.

3.) He is a sectional leader. From the way he dresses, it is obvious he Niger Delta man to the core. He did not hide his loyalty to the region as many people he surrounded himself with were from the region. He did this while neglecting other regions.

4.) His political base is very weak does not cut across. When he won the Presidential elections, Nigerians voted for him out of solidarity. It is not that he achieved so much after he completed Yaradua's tenure. This was perhaps why he failed woefully when he wanted a second term and Buhari thrashed him. His support base is mainly the Niger-Delta

5.) He was the weakest leader Nigeria ever had. During his time as President, many described him as a figurehead. A man who could not take decisions and a man who depended heavily on his kinsmen and wife to take action.

6.) He refused to act during the kidnap of Chibok girls. Nigerians are yet to forget that. He had the opportunity to order the immediate rescue of the Chibok. At first, he never believed that there was a kidnap. When he finally accepted that fact, it was too late.

7.) He is in the opposition. So money and winning will be a problem. This is because he has very few PDP governors in power that would bankroll his presidential bid.

8.) He allowed Boko Haram to fester without doing anything. Goodluck Jonathan was sceptical about tackling the insurgency group. He allowed Boko Haram to fester to the extent that it has become one of the world's most potent terrorist groups.

9.) He was controlled and dictated to by his wife- Patience Jonathan. Patience Jonathan, an alpha female was rumoured to be the pseudo-president because Goodluck was too weak to take the difficult decisions.

10.) Corruption. Goodluck Jonathan's administration was considered by many as a very corrupt government. Almost everyone had access to the cookie jar and it is a question of how much you can steal. The EFCC died under Goodluck.

11.) Goodluck is not respected internationally. Since Goodluck was weak locally, it reflected negatively on our international diplomacy as many of our international friends simply sidelined Nigeria when it comes to funds, security and technical support. A good example is countries of the world refusing to help Nigeria to fight the insurgency.

12.) He betrayed the trust of his political godfathers. After his tenure as elected president, he promised he was going to leave. However, he refused and contest election which he woefully lost. Part reason for this is that he did not get support from his political godfathers.

13.) He made militants and ethnic groups very rich by giving them security contract. It was during his time that militant groups had so much power. The likes of Asari Dokubo and Government Tompolo became so rich from the security contract that Dokubo established a university in the Benin Republic and not even in the Niger Delta.

14.) His political relevance or influenced has waned since he left power. The truth is he is politically irrelevant in the scheme of things in Nigeria. His power is only in the Niger Delta. He cannot pull any strings in other parts of the country.

15.) It will be very difficult for him to win because Northerners will definitely not support him.

16.) He is in the PDP which is perceived by many Nigerians as the main contributor to a failed Nigeria. As long as he is in the PDP, it might be difficult for him to win if he decides to contest.

I think the only Reason Ex President Goodluck Jonathan Won't Win In 2023 is he is not stupid enough to contest!

At least I hope he isn't stupid enough!

Absolute Nonsense.

Goodluck Jonathan will easily win again if he contest and this time even the North will hugely vote for him.

Now their eyes have cleared.
Nobody can contest against Jonathan and win, not even Tinubu or any modaforker from the north.

If Jonathan contest and make Any man from the north is vice President, then it will be a landslide win for him.

PDP can only bounce back through Jonathan and any strong man from the north like Atiku.

Goodluck Jonathan is the reason why We have peace in NIGERIA today and Even Buhari, the Nigeria military, Europe, China and USA knows This.

Had he been he refused to give up the seat to Buhari, that would have been the End of NIGERIA and could have led to the greatest civil war in the history of the world.

NIGER DELTA would have invaded Abuja and turn Abuja to Gaza.

This is why He is respected today and giving award after he condeded defeat.

Obama said NIGERIA will seize to exist by 2014 because he knew if Goodluck Jonathan refuse to accept defeat, Niger Deltans will turn The country to Ashes with the support of the ibos, the middle and it would affect even Lagos.

Investors will run away and the Economy will crumble.
