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 hu

Same Jonathan you terrorised his administration and called a thief?

The North are planning something sinister, we need to be very careful.

God punish you people. After idiots like you people voted Jonathan out and bring in a complete useless Idiotic nonentity that completely destroyed Nigeria beyond repairs , fools like you people now want Jonathan to come and perfect the ruins of the idiotic useless dullard.

They should all rally around Tinubu that is a billion times worst than Buhari to come and help them suffer the more, they should leave Jonathan out of their stinking smelling mouth. Jonathan is nobody's mate in this shithole.

We are waiting to see how the whole game plays out..

Why do I have the feeling that the Jonathan they think they knew then, would not be the same as the same person now?....

Honestly I strongly have this feeling that if Jonathan clinches that sit, that he's gonna be tough towards them and would want to finally seriously adhere to the needs of people of the south unlike how it was during his first tenure...!!....
Anyways, what do I know?..... one's bitten; twice shy!!

All these nonsensical make to belief about jonathan leadership is nauseating, obviously this is coming fromt lazy thieves and enemies of nigeria that want freesbies. Jonathan is a confirmed dullard that lack capacity to coordinate personnel and complex resources. He truthfully assessed himself by ceeding coordinating minister role to okonjo iweala, one would wonder, if a president is afraid or lack the understanding of dealing with ministers, what is left for him to do as the ptesident. What role is he playing, if not coordinating the ministers?

Jonathan would be a big fool to fall into this trap

Buhari is not bad per se, it is his excesses of fronting for northern interests that is counting against him. Jonathan pioneered nepotic federal government of Nigeria, Jonathan set Nigeria on the momentum of a failed state if not removed on time.

Lies from the pit of hell

Devil's advocate, continue to support evil. After everything you go back to beg Jonathan to save you.

Whazar:

but tinubu won't be a fool falling into the hands of caliphates

What an irony of life. So, Jonathan is waiting for Buhari endorsement?

The same Jonathan that was rejected in 2019 now remains the best candidate for the Job ahead. Lol

Even Gov Yahya Bello will trashed him tackles of other big wigs involved.

I will humble advise the man not to deceive himself and stay clear of 2023 politics.

JONATHAN - ZULUM 2023.

I said it and i am saying it again.

Umahi then becomes minister of Works, Housing and Urban Development.

Then, Zulum - Umahi 2027.

After their tenure, power returns to North Central.

And to be straight forward, Buhari HAS NOT ENDORSE OR HAS ANY CANDIDATE IN MIND.
