It will depend on which platform and the other opposition parties
If he goes to APC ,he will lose ,in PDP he will lose , another party he might have a chance .
If his opposition are Tinubu ,Atiku and Peter Obi , he will lose woefully and disgracefully
GEJ will beat Atiku and Obi blue black.

Let PDP field GEJ with Senator Yar'Adua from Katsina or Shekarau from from Kano and see ADC go up in flames.

Compared to PO, GEJ is corrupt.

Compared to Buhari or Tinubu, GEJ is better. Both individuals are definitely more corrupt than GEJ.

Compared to Rochas Okorocha, GEJ is less corrupt.

Presently, no politician dead or alive in Nigeria, is less corrupt than PO.

So your ethnic baiting will not work. Remember that Obi did not win Bayelsa, yet he clearly won that election, while GEJ won all the 5 SE and 6 SS states in the 2015 election.

Even if GEJ decides to run, the only state he may win is Bayelsa, as PO will win every other SE and SS state.

Over the past 3 years, PO has created a brand for himself, which GEJ will not be able to match
GEJ will never ever in his life, be able to prove that he is less corrupt than Obi
GEJ will never be able to convince anyone that he will do away with the office of the first lady
GEJ will never be able to show he can reduce the cost of governance
GEJ will never be able to show that he was more successful as a private citizen b3fore he joined politics the way Obi can.
GEJ does not have cult followership the way Obi does.
GEJ abandoned Nigerians in he hands of ruthless Buhari and Tinubu, while Obi emerged to give hope to millions of citizens over the past few years
Explanation..

Mtchew..

Nah same thing wey dey talk..

Jona is corrupt because of PO/Igbo presidency. 😃

Nah Fake beings una be..

Gej is bad, GEJ is this and that.

Vote for your son and let SS vote for their son. Let's see who will gather more votes.

GEJ has a PhD, Peter Obi used 10 years to study a 4 year course.
Obi didn't build a single school, GEJ built more than 6 Universities.
But you Igbos are insulting GEJ.
You people will see.

Goodluck Jonathan is constitutionally disbarred from contesting for the Presidency. He is also honourable to allow the mobs to spoil his hard earned reputation.
OGA rest with your reputation talk, he should not contest so that the rogues without réputation continue dragging us back to the mud

Nobody is insulting GEJ.
If GEJ stands in the way of PO, then GEJ is the one causing any negative feedback he is getting.

PO employs tens of Phd holders. PO was a chairman of a bank, something that GEj was not qualified to do.
PO has several multi million dollar businesses and investments with no infusion of corruptly-gotten finance.

No doubt, GEJ is better than Tinubu and Buhari put together.

But PO is far better than GEJ. PO is exactly what Nigeria needs at the moment, and if GEJ wants to scuttle the aspiration of Nigerians, then he will be deserving of any negative blows that come his way.
He ought to be supporting PO right now, after all when GEJ was the president, PO supported him. PO did not try to destroy GEJ's chances by opting to run against GEJ or prop up another candidate to reduce GEJ's chances.

Nigerians no longer are interested in Sunday-Sunday politicians who only show up when elections are around the corner.
Nigerians now want politicians who are constantly there with them, just the same way PO has been, over the past 3 years.

As I wrote earlier on, GEJ will loose woefully and will loose a great deal of respect that he had. This is PO's moment, he should support the aspiration of Nigerians, and not make himself a willing tool in the hands of those that want to destroy Nigeria, because of his selfish ambition.

When did Igbos ever say that GEJ was not corrupt.

GEj is corrupt, but not to the level Yorubas were painting him in the 2023/2025 election season.

Yorubas even labelled GEJ an Ineffectual buffoon, all in their attempt to curry favour from their northern masters.
It was Igbos that stood with GEJ, because we knew he was being unfairly labelled and attacked by Yorubas, who were jealous of the fact that a SSner was the president.

A Yoruba man by the name of Wole Soyinka even labelled GEJ's wife Shepopotamus.

Igbos admit that GEJ had his faults, but we knew he understood the economy better than Buhari and Tinubu.

But as of today, Igbos and the Obidients movement made up of millions of Nigerian, don't just want a better economy. They want a better nation, which includes reduced corruption, reduced cost of governance, a much better economy, movement from consumption to production.
The only candidate who can proffer solutions to the above points, is Peter Obi. He will deliver a better Nigeria than GEJ can ever do.
Let us not even forget that Bayelsa did not vote for PO, even though PO's state gave GEJ 95%+ in the presidential election, so GEJ should not think we are unaware that his state did not support PO. Let him not make it even worse, by now trying to run against the only Igbo man with a chance of bringing in positive change into the political system of Nigeria.

It's good they are having this poll, atleast to enlighten Goodluck not to fall for the political gimmick.

Jonathan won't even get 1million votes.

See as Igbos dey yab GEJ.
People who professed their love for GEJ for the last 10 years.
Igbos still love GEJ.

But Obidients, who are made up of millions of Nigerians, know that PO will deliver a better Nigeria.

We obviously cannot forget that Yorubas labelled GEJ the ineffectual buffoon, and labelled his wife Shepopotamus.
I can also bet that Yorubas will not be voting for GEJ in 2027. This is guaranteed.

Having stated the above, GEJ should not run, as he expects his support base to come from exactly where Obi's support base will come.
GEJ's main support bases are SE and SS. But already, these two camps are already in the bag for PO, so GEJ now wanting to get into the fray at this late stage could be seen as him trying to sabotage Obi.

With the state of play, PO has a massive advantage, as he has been in the public consciousness over the past few years, and his clean image will be hard to dislodge by GEJ.
