Former President Goodluck Jonathan has rejected some of the conditions given to him by members of the Aso Rock (Presidency) cabal to get the 2023 presidential automatic ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), SaharaReporters has gathered.

One of the conditions was that Jonathan must officially defect to the APC with some Peoples Democratic Party governors in the South-South and South-East regions.

The cabal, comprising some members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s extended family and friends, are the powers behind the throne.
This group is said to have the ear of the President, influence policy-making and determine those who get major appointments.

Sources told SaharaReporters that the former President rejected the conditions and told the cabal he doesn’t have interest in the 2023 presidency again.

His response, it was gathered, embarrassed the cabal members who described the former President as a traitor.

“They are now accusing Jonathan of not fulfilling some of his promises after all the several meetings and soft-landing given to him.

“He was to come on board by converting some PDP states in the South-South and South-East to APC, and that way he would get the automatic ticket uncontested. Some other conditions were also given to him.

“But guess what? He told them he won't contest again. They are now angry, saying he was deceitful. They said after getting some of his seized monies back, his wife’s monies returned to him, he finally decided not to contest,” a top source told SaharaReporters on Thursday.

SaharaReporters had reported that members of the ‘Aso Rock cabal’ had promised Jonathan the 2023 presidential ticket of the ruling APC.

It was also reported that the cabal members had warned the President against handing over to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the party.

“Buhari’s cabal members have asked Jonathan to prepare for the party’s ticket. They said they don’t want Tinubu or Osibanjo,” a presidential source had told SaharaReporters.

SaharaReporters earlier reported how the cabal had been pressuring Jonathan to defect to the APC.

He was said to have surprised the northern elite and the cabal by his disposition to the Buhari presidency despite all the dirt and campaign of calumny thrown at him and the PDP before the 2015 presidential election, which gave Buhari an unprecedented victory over an incumbent.

It was learnt that some cabal members had also been impressed that despite the Buhari government's glaring failure, Jonathan had not openly criticised his predecessor or his administration, much unlike ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Obasanjo had written open letters condemning the Buhari government and also verbally berated it at any opportunity.

SaharaReporters learnt from sources that the establishment of 'Almajiri' schools by Jonathan to reduce a large number of out-of-school children in the North also scored the former president good points in the eyes of the northern cabal in the APC, especially with most of it now rotting away, even under a northerner as president.

Jonathan is a noble man right from time and not that blood thirsty demon from daur

I know there's no way a noble man like GEJ will stoop so low to accept to go for second term under a complete death and useless party called APC.

GEJ is bigger than the zoo politics. He wasn't good enough, so why licking his ass now to come back? So to restore back the ruins of the dullard and after four years he step down and the power go back to the north, and they come again with their clueless leadership style.

God punish you people.

Johnathan is the symbol of democracy

If Jonathan refuse to contest, he will still have some respect left

They just want to bring him out and humiliate him

Those niggars wanna be controlling him like they are presently doing to Osinbajo
Bleep them!!!!

We want PDP

Jonathan tried for us....

They said they "wont hand over to tinubu or osibanjo"

So this is why they have been boasting that more southern Governors will dump the PDP before the next election

The days are numbered

oya give us the real news or you keep quiet.


Op, 2023 will be very interesting. Watching with keen interest

Let's pretend this article is true. Which SS/SE PDP Governor can GEJ sway over to the APC ? It's definitely not Wike who is a core PDP man and has openly said he prefers fighting from inside, neither can it be Diri who is under enough slavery as it stands and no one will take serious in Bayelsa at all (APC Bayelsa is a dead and useless party by the way) it can't be Okowa, Udom or even Obaseki. What about the SE ? No one, absolutely NOBODY. He knows this

This one na fake news abeg

Evil party with evil agenda.

Whether fake news or not, Northern Oligarchy have their keen interest in filling up the six years they lost to the South during Yar Adua demised. This is the reason for their action, even at all Jonathan accept, he will be eliminated without no distance time for a northern VP to emerge as President. My best advise for PDP governors in SS/SE is that, they should stand on the Delta agreement signed by the 17 southern governors that power must back to the south either APC or PDP.

The truth is that he knows he would lose woefully in the south if he contests because southerners would see him as an unintelligent fellow. See how fresh he now looks compared to when he was president when the country was far better. How would he now entangle himself with the problems of the country when everything don dabaru? And immediately he takes over, northerners would begin to blame him for the country's woes. He should better be wise and allow them sort the mess they created. Jona na gentleman fa

Yoruba Muslims miscreants really dealt with Jonathan that why we the SS people must deal with Tinubu by all means

NIGHTMARE0O7:

You are not fear by your judgment. Tinubu supported Jonathan in 2011to win after the merger between Buhari and ACN failed. Politics is dynamic and every player follow his or her interest. So, Tinubu committed no crime by following his interest and long time ambition.

Coast clear for Peter obi....

APC will field ogbonaya Onu while pdp will field Peter obi. .... .. South East region will be happy again and Nigeria will be great and United once again

Fake news.

Sahara Reporter and mumu report

GEJ can attempt a comeback but not under APC.

The cabal may be interested in GEJ but not Buhari.

Piggiiddioooottts are already all over the place displaying sheer jealousy of their Yoruba masters...

Nobody need buharis support to win election.
Buhari himself won the sitting president.
