Jonathan is not interested. All those mentioning Jonathan now voted against during election to support Buhari

OfoIgbo:
Nigeria's act of parliament bars Jonathan from seeking office.

Buhari, in his attempt to cage Jonathan encouraged the Parliament to enact a law barring anyone who has been sworn in on two occasions from seeking the presidency.

As Jonathan had already been sworn in on two occasions, he can no longer go for a second term.
He was sworn in, when Yaradua died.
He was also sworn in when he worn the 2011 election.

I doubt whether Tinubu will ask the parliament to change that law, as he wouldn't want to give a look-in to a potential rival that may deny him his 2027 dreams.

Even if Jonathan were to even run, that will mean that Peter Obi, Tinubu and GEJ will have to slug it out.

The Obidient family is way to numerous to be an underdog in such a race, and Peter Obi is more likely than the other two to drastically reduce corruption in Nigeria. Peter Obi will definitely have an advantage.

Moreover it was GEJ that handed over Nigeria to those who destroyed Nigeria, starting from Buhari to Tinubu.. All these will come to play.
GEJ was sworn in as President once, the other time he was acting President. GEJ still has one more term to go legally.

North will prefer Jonathan to Obi, the same Jonathan that they rejected in 2015. The phobia for Igbo presidency is real and it's wearing Nigeria aground. North can go to Huellll...... for all we care. undecided

The North will NEVER support a candidate like Peter Obi. They know his antecedence. Especially after the "yes Daddy" audio leaked. Obi should quit trying. He will NEVER rule this country called Nigeria

Goodluck Jonathan is still a coded Igbo man in Ijaw land, so whichever one you guys prefer, we are good with it but one thing we want to hear is that Tulumbu is going 2027, otilor for baba sope....aka Lagos landlord, aka bullion van cheesy

Just like Fubara & Wike agreement abi? You so much believe and trust in Nigerians especially a Nigerian politician.

The man gave a very good point. You don't need to sign nothing. GEJ cannot do more than a term. Simple.

mrvitalis:
People like Obi and Osibanjo are people you can easily build an agreement with

All you have to do is to sign it and let him sign it publicly... His reputation is the only guarantee... I don't think he would spend all this years then waste it for extra 4 years of presidency

Ye ye people with useless way to reason.
Obi can never be President of Nigeria 🇳🇬.
They call Nigeria Zoo now how you want rule there.

How PDP treated Jonathan after the election loss does not speak well of them.

After Jonathan, Atiku has contested on the platform of PDP 2x. This is one of the reasons for Wike destroying the party because they did not keep to their rotation agreement, an agreement which ironically was one of the problems Jonathan faced. He was told he was using the term of the North and should not contest election again. Look at where we are today.

The same Obi that lies effortlessly on trivial issues . The same Obi that claimed to possess just one watch and told the world even his own immediate family members do not believe him .
No one is trusting Peter Obi on anything . The so called agreement that would never be legally binding or constitutional.

This is akin to a hor.ny guy begging to ‘put just the tip’ 😂😂😂
He even swore before agbari ojukwu with his life that he would never defect from Apga. He cannot be trusted for anything....

On 6 April 2010, Jonathan swore in his new cabinet. Yar'Adua died on 5 May 2010, and Jonathan was sworn in as president the next day.

In 2011, after winning the election, he was sworn in again.

What is this one insinuating? That Jonathan should come back to play the role of a"useful idiot"

Jonathan has served it's capacity which Nigerians havd seen.
Obi is a goal getting oriented type of leadership. His agender is from consumption to production. Production creates job than consuming.
Obi Peter is a complete fiasco

Northerners are Selfish power hunger, imagine what this one saying, so that they can dictate for Jonathan again to move power back to bother after all what Nigerians has went through from their brother bubu .

Don't use Osibanjo to sell Obi! Osibanjo integrity is well confirmed many times, but that of Obi is always in doubt through many bursted lies in the past or go and verify after chunning out on fake statistics.Use Obi past record to sell Obi, and never hide behind Osibanjo to sell him
Who is Osinbajo compared to Obi?
Glorified VP who never win any sort of election...
Abeg,who are his followership except the western propaganda media
Re: 2027: North Will Prefer Jonathan To Obi – PDP Chieftain, Umar Sani by PDPdestroyer(m): 12:32pm On Jul 28, 2025
My Obidient neighbour fell into depression on hearing this news. He’s suggesting that Obi should ‘undig’ the boreholes he dug in the north to force the north to have a rethink

GEJ was the acting president, when Yaradua was seriously ill and possibly in coma.

However, once Yaradua died, GEJ was immediately sworn in as a full fledged president, and he served roughly one year before the 2011 election which he won, and was sworn in again.

GEJ has already been sworn in two times.

North always eating their vomit.

You people rejected a man who came to serve calling him all kinds of names.

All of a sudden you want him back as a messiah after destroying the country using Tinubu and Buhari.

You can no longer play around with the future of this country.
Re: 2027: North Will Prefer Jonathan To Obi – PDP Chieftain, Umar Sani by qleap2all(m): 12:56pm On Jul 28, 2025
As at today, the only acceptable candidate from the South remains Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ;the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to the North!
Check the last election, Tinubu votes is more than 50%!

GEJ was sworn in as acting President, he completed the tenure of Yara'dua. He was sworn in as President for the first time in 2011. Stop arguing.

So you created the Office of The Acting President grin That was your own doctrine of necessity?

You are the one who should take care of your advice. Nigeria did not have a president from 2010 to 2011, we had an actor shey 🙂

Who was the acting vice president?

Maybe watch the videos and listen to what he swore by on both occasions.

Only the President or Senate can make the VP or the SP the Acting President. Jonathan was given the AP in February 2010 and in May 2010 when Yar Adua was confirmed dead, he was sworn in as President and he nominated Namadi Sambo as his VP. Prior to this time, he had no VP and he could never have as Acting President because that would have meant he was taking his Oga's position or acting a coup as he was the VP acting as the President till Yar Adua came back. Under Buhari, Yemi Osinbajo was Acting President 2x after the President (Buhari) sent a letter to the senate and he was called Acting President.
He only completed the tenure of Yara'dua, same thing happened when the late Aketi died in Ondo. Gov Lucky still has one term to go after his current tenure.

Like the promise he kept with Ojukwu concerning never leaving APGA abi?PO is too desperate to be trusted with anything.

If Jonathan is elected president of Nigeria a second time, his administration will be worse than Buhari's and Tinubu's combined.

We need a candidate with a thorough understanding of economic policy who will only appoint honorable leaders who can complete the tasks at hand for the nation.

What of Atiku who also promised to do one term if elected? In other words, the south should not trust Atiku with his promise.
