A political pressure group, Citizens Network for Peace and Development in Nigeria (CNPD), has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to adopt former President Goodluck Jonathan, as the party’s candidate for the 2023 presidential election.

The National Coordinator of the group, Mr Ralph Okorie, who made the call on Monday at a news conference in Abuja, urged President Muhammadu Buhari, to endorse the Jonathan project.

“There is a need for experience and continuity. The two enjoy the most cordial relationship that had ever existed between an incumbent and his immediate predecessor,” he said.

Okorie said the call for Buhari to endorse Jonathan was to ensure that candidates without a clear cut vision do not emerge as the party’s flag-bearer in the 2023 presidential election.

He said that allowing candidates without a clear cut vision to get into the Presidential Villa in 2023, would not only be suicidal but would be like aiding and supporting incompetence over competence.

According to Okorie, the persistent calls from different parts of the country for Jonathan to contest the 2023 presidential election indicates that Nigerians have genuinely and passionately joined the support for Jonathan.

"We acknowledge that the ripple effects of good governance are multi-generational, hence, the CNPD for Jonathan call on all Nigerians to support this agenda.

“We strongly believe that this administration is working round the clock to address the two major problems of security and economy bedevilling this country.

"It will be counter-productive to bring an amateur to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari at this material time.

“As vanguards for Nigeria’s development, peace and unity, we want to reiterate that, our beloved country cannot afford to have a regional champion as a flagbearer.

“It is imperative that Dr Abdullahi Adamu as the National Chairman of APC will use the best man for the job to win this election bearing in mind that anything short of a Jonathan ticket will cost APC the presidency in 2023,” Okorie said.

He noted that his achievements of Jonathan stood him out among all the aspirants that have so far indicated an interest in the presidential election and described him as one of the most outstanding presidents the country had produced.

“For instance, within two weeks, Jonathan grounded the activities of Boko Haram insurgency and gave Nigeria a credible election adjudged by domestic and international observers as free and fair.

“Nigeria’s economic trajectory under his presidency was globally recognised as his national economic prowess earned the country the status of the largest economy in Africa.

“Today, some of the talented people who worked under his government are championing global economic transformations.

“Nigerians have not forgotten the glorious days of GEJ with Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala as the minister of Finance, Olusegun Aganga, Akinwumi Adesina, Mohammed Pateh, to mention but a few.

“We are still yearning for the immense contribution of Akinwumi Adesina who was the brain behind Jonathan’s agricultural transformation agenda that saw the increase in agriculture produce, value chain and foreign exchange earnings from the sector.

“In terms of foreign policy, Nigeria under Jonathan saw huge foreign direct investment, FDI, and infrastructure developments due to his economic liberalist and friendly dispositions,” Okorie added.

The CNPD coordinator also said that the Nigeria diasporic policy enhanced over 24 billion dollars in remittances under Jonathan which made Nigeria and Nigerians the pride of Africa and the world.

He added that Jonathan’s return to power would not only enhance the economic, foreign policy and security situation but would provide a favourable environment for national engagement and dialogue.

Okorie, however, called on Jonathan to listen to the numerous calls and observe the political mood across Nigeria as he would give impetus to APC’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.

In all honesty, this administration doesn't come close to doing what Jonathan did to tackle these insurgencies. During Gej's regime, how many bandits were on rampage? And when people keep talking about the chibok girls, I am like "seriously?" it's not like this administration got them back in good piece and we all know how bandits kidnap school girls in multiple folds every other week right now. Or how many of you can comfortably do road trips to the north now? Oh I forgot, they can even shoot down planes and derail trains now. o ma she oo

another noisemakers making noise. And you think APC will give Jonathan ticket? still he's not a member up till now

What kind of human being are these people? Buhari should endorse someone he spent 7years blaming of failed governance in Nigeria?? Administration he (Buhari) referred to as the worst since inception in terms of corruption. No hope for this country again!!!

Jonathan should never be so dunce to fall for all these traps!

The North surely knows how to destabilize the south during elections.

What a country, calling for a failure to return because the one's that took over also failed.why do we like experimenting or do the same mistake over and over again and expect a different result? Make God help person leave this country,the matter don tire me.

May it never be well with Lord Luggard.
The forced marriage foisted on us by the Colonial thieves greedy people don't seems to be working from time immemorial.

Let's go back to regional government or better still let everyone go his separate ways.

I am shock by these people,no redemption for us as a country.

Jonathan should pick a Southern candidate as his running mate if APC makes him their flag bearer.

That way, power will remain in the south after Jonathan, s tenure.

But it will be more honourable for him to ignore APC.

North calculation

Because they know that Jonathan can only spend one tenure.

A new Jonathan will be different from the old Jonathan that they know.

The old Jonathan was naive, peaceful and innocent

The new Jonathan is now very experienced, angry and possibly set on revenge.

Jonathan had clear cut vision and Dieziani was stealing money in billions from NNPC? What madness is this? What sort of vision is blind to stealing money from government coffers? Was it because stealing was not regarded as corruption by Jonathan? And if Jonathan was good, why was he voted out to bring in Buhari? What else does Jonathan want? Does he want to kill Nigeria by encouraging further stealing? May God punish these enemies of Nigeria clamouring for return of Jonathan.

If Jonathan enters and he has only one term, he is going to deal with a lot of people Sha.

All those northerner that were frustrating his agenda in his first term, if they try it again, will be parked like sardines and thrown into prison.

And who knows, he may finally clear the system of nonsense.
He has nothing to lose.

Anyway, Peter obi is my Candidate.

Their reason to do so is to collect the Presidency after 4 years. Non of the presidential aspirants of today is coming to fix Nigeria, they are all after the power and influence.

Even if Buhari and Goatluck Jonaddaft run on a joint ticket. Tinubu will humiliate them.

Tinubu worked for Goatluck Jonaddaft iin 2011 to put Buhari in his place which is with his barren cows. In 2015, Tinubu pitied Buhari and so worked with him to put Goatluck in his rightful place which is among his fellow useless drunks in Otuoke. Tinubu helped the two idiots to get a job at different times, will he help then to do the job again?

If the two idiots come come together against Tinubu, he will humiliate them jointly. 100 rats cannot take a single cat.

Jonathan will never fall to their political trap. Jonathan will never join Apc this week.

okooo

Make I laugh Tinubu small

Jonathan is a good man but the northerners are just trying to be clever by half, if at all the southerners are producing the next president then it should be someone who can atleast spend 8 years like buhari did and not just 4years as in the case of goodluck Jonathan

Madness on cloud 9. They are confused walking on their heads

Jonathan should shun these miscreants and unserious fellows who are hell-bent on tarnishing the very beautiful image and status that he is currently enjoying both from within and outside the country.

How can somebody ask Buhari who has consistently blamed Jonathan for his own failure to take over from him?

Will Jonathan accept if called? His problem.
