Jonathan Denies Social Media Post On 2027 Presidential Bid by iwaeda(op): 8:07pm On Jun 13, 2025

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has distanced himself from an Instagram post suggesting he is planning a comeback in the 2027 presidential election.

The post, shared by an account bearing Jonathan’s name, criticised Nigeria’s current leaders, claiming they are “pretending to sleep”, while urging citizens to choose better leadership in 2027.

“Since our current leaders are pretending to sleep, we pray that we will get our good leadership back in 2027; your choice will determine the betterment of our future,” the post read.

The message was accompanied by music and an image, believed to be AI-generated, of Jonathan shaking hands with U.S. President Donald Trump. The post has since attracted over 16,000 views and 1,261 comments.

However, when contacted by TheCable on Friday, Ikechukwu Eze, Jonathan’s spokesperson, dismissed the post as fake and clarified that the former president does not operate an Instagram account.

“Former President Jonathan does not own an Instagram account,” Eze said.

This is not the first time Jonathan has had to disown political activity linked to his name. Ahead of the 2023 elections, he rejected a presidential nomination form purchased on his behalf by a support group. The form, bought under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was disavowed by Jonathan through a statement from his media team.

“He was not aware of this bid and did not authorise it,” the statement read at the time.

APC are in morbid fear of the possibility of Jonathan entering the race. It would significantly distort their equation. Keep eyes on these two personalities heading into 2027, Jonathan and Akinwunmi Adesina.

Hmmm, this is bold , he should not allow himself to be dragged into petty politics. The same people they betrayed him and sold him out to the oppositions are now romanticizing him to wrestle power from Tinubu, wise person won’t fall for such!

Those people are wrong. Buhari is the Messiah while Tinubu is the god himself. Can't you see that clearly?

Jonathan is no longer interested. If you all mean well for real, there are other good candidates that have been and will still present themselves...but will tribalism and religious sentiments allow us elect the best? GEJ was kicked out using the above stated sentiments

Anybody who's busy canvassing for Jonathan to come back is definitely myopic. Just because things are worse now than when he was president doesn't mean his own tenure was bearable as at then

It's most likely because most of our people suffer from chronic short term memory

People seem to have completely forgotten that Uncle Jona was labeled Clueless-in-Chief with some female Commander Generals like Diezani and his dearly beloved Mama Patience running the whole show for him...

God forbid BAT thing

I would've loved to see who Wike would support between Tinubu and GEJ if the latter would run!

Re: Jonathan Denies Social Media Post On 2027 Presidential Bid by Nijaforward: 10:14am On Jun 14, 2025

Anytime Tinubu and his followers hear the name GEJ is going to contest 2027 election fears grips all of them which shows their failure ,a performing president will not fear any opposition in an election ,they know they have no chance against Obi or GEJ in 2027!

If Nigerians can vote for GEJ, then it's obvious we all don't learn. I dear to ask the qualities you want to vote for in a GEJ.

Just like Amaechi, all politicians are for themselves. So, a single person cannot make Nigeria great. Under Jonathan, Dazieni stole so much. Mama peace controlled too much. Only those who think they can gain from him want the dude back. Jonathan is empty.

Tinubu Tinubu Tinubu, he's not the one Nigerians want, he just scattered the whole nation, we want someone to save Nigerians. If Jonathan can do that, why not?
