The All Progressives Congress says former President Goodluck Jonathan will be given an automatic opportunity to contest for the 2023 presidency when he finally joins the ruling party.

The National Secretary, APC Caretaker, and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee, John Akpanudoedehe, said this while featuring as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.

He said this when asked about the speculations that Jonathan is considering to join the ruling party.

The APC official also clarified that the ex-president will also be granted a founding member status if he joins.

Chairman of the Caretaker/ Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress, Mai Mala Buni, and some APC governors had unprecedently visited the ex-President in November 2020.

The All Progressives Congress says former President Goodluck Jonathan will be given an opportunity to contest for the 2023 presidency if he joins the ruling party.

The National Secretary, APC Caretaker, and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee, John Akpanudoedehe, said this while featuring as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.

He said this when asked about the speculations that Jonathan is considering to join the ruling party.

The APC official also said the ex-president will be granted a founding member status if he joins.

He, however, said the opportunity that will be given to Jonathan is not automatic, noting that he would compete with other members of the party before getting the ticket.

Akpanudoedehe said, “I am hearing that for the first time that we are expecting the former President. That will be great news. We will welcome him; that will also strengthen the party.

“The last National Executive Council of the party actually gave a blanket approval to any individual that if you join APC today, it is as if you are a founding member of the party.


“So, anyone who joins today has the same opportunity to run for any office in this party. It has always been so, so I am not speculating,” he added.

Chairman of the Caretaker/ Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress, Mai Mala Buni, and some APC governors had unprecedently visited the ex-President in November 2020.

But the Peoples Democratic Party at that time dispelled reports that Jonathan was about to dump the party for the APC ahead of the 2023 elections.

[s]Only Yorubas will disagree with this plan. As for me, it is a good position to explore for two reasons:
1. To enable a restructured Nigeria using the 2014 CONFAB report
2. Implement the single term of 6 years presidency, starting with an extension of his tenure to 2029.
I am also suggesting that PDP adopt GEJ as their candidate as well. Nigeria needs an stabilising lrader of GEJ status. One thing I know is that the GEJ they kmew in 2010-2014 will be different from the GEJ of today.[/s]

After using all manner of propaganda via social media that they have now fully censored to oust a man better than they all are, they are returning to their vomit now that they have rendered the country unsalvageable.

Anybody taking over from this failed regime will suffer a great deal and might end up losing whatever goodwill left.

APC by this action confirms their failure and desperate attempt to hold on to power by proxy and avoid probe of this most corrupt regime in a nation's history.

PrinceOfLagos:
Now I understand what Buhari meant when he said "You cannot sit in Lagos and decide what happens in APC"

I feel for Tinubu, He's been used and dumped like a piece of shit .

Grayoso:


Some of you ethnocentric Southerners are beyond redemption and the reason the South cannot brush aside Northern retrogression to begun forging ahead.

Those who want GEJ back are Northerners in the APC who see him as a meek and controllable simpleton who will not rock the boat too aggressively against them and must of course hand over power to them in 4 years thus denying the South it's possible 8 year slot

This presents the North with a 'shortcut' back to power it does not deserve.

I just don't understand how some of you are so blinded by ethnocentric sentiments you cannot even note when your intelligence is being patronised openly by others who are looking to take advantage of you like a man telling all the lies in the world to get into a pretty girl's pant.

No one is returning to any "vomit". It is Northerners , knowing Southerners will always be ethno-religiously disunited, making their usual and brazenly machiavellian moves that ultimately always works against the progress and interest of myopic and ethnocentric Southerners like you.
