I cannot believe that this man wants to accept this offer again.
How do you mean? He's representing a people, and his people will be happy. He's not the father of South, okay?

Don't get it twisted, no one is desiring his return except the Northern cabals that removed him in the first place! They're now selfishly trying to bring him back knowing he can only rule for 4 years so that they would take over again after 4 years and continue ruling Nigeria! They don't want another Southerner who they know will want to rule for 8 years!

Don't be gullible, it's all about selfishness of the North and their penchant to dominate the South always. It's never about the good of Nigeria! The same person they called all manner of names and claimed he was so corrupt everyday and mismanaged Nigeria when oil prices were high is the same person they want to bring back??

Nigerians will be foolish to fall for this rubbish and Jonathan will even be a bigger fool to accept this offer knowing the reason behind it.
Pained mofo.

I thought they claimed Tinubu was the slayer of GEJ. Oh, is it now the Northern cabal?

Confused lots.

This is simple English, GEJ, is just educating the people of Gambia on the benefits of good leadership, and not that he's returning as president.
I hope so

BecomeALandLord:
Couldn't be said any better.
You just wrote my mind here.
You people are so myopic

Even if it’s for 4 years - GEJ can do a lot.
He can midwife the dissolution of this evil enterprise called Nigeria by calling for a referendum so that the different regions can seceded peacefully along the pre - 1967 state lines which will be (North, West, East and Midwest) without one bullet fired.

See how Biden is changing America within one of his inauguration- That means Jonathan can do a lot to dismantle the current structure which is tilted to favor the north politically. Even if he cannot get us outright secession but if he can get us rigid confederacy, where the various regions will be heavily autonomous by weakening the center so much that it becomes unattractive and cannot never be used by successive administrations to control the various states, then he would have written his name in gold

One of the things I will be looking for is a full fledged regional army for the various regions just like the US national guard which state governors have rights over in their various states. If we have such in Nigeria then no president at Abuja will allow herdsmen to create insecurity in the states as the governors can summon them to protect the people.

And once the president is not needed to fund the states as monthly or annual funding is done for an independent organ or bureaucratic institution- then the President either from any region will not have the power to starve any governor who is not doing the bidding of the president at Abuja

If the supreme court at Abuja is removed from hearing political litigations or election matters and such is referred to a state supreme court just like it is done in America where state electoral cases are heard in the state supreme courts, then the president will not wield fear on the governors to do his bidding and the states will be stronger

If these 3 alone can be done, all this nonsense going on in Nigeria will stop

Many people did not really like Buhari in the elections that brought him into power.

The people just voted the Daura man because GEJ had proven beyond reasonable doubt that he was not capable of leading the nation, and people wanted to try another person.

Although Buhari has failed, GEJ is still not the good option, and neither is it Tinubu.


May God give Nigeria good leaders.
God does not give leaders, there is too much God in our daily narratives. The people should go out on election day and vote massively for the candidate of their choice, without selling their conscience.

We rise by lifting others

Just one question, this was not achievable during his 6 years of power? I think it's plain to see that the politicians are not really the problem of this country but false prophets of hope like yourself dreaming of El Doraldo.

A man that could not hold on to power when he had it will now all of a sudden go against the Northern bulldogs and demons? Hahahaha....If na play make you STOP AM angry angry angry
Re: GEJ: Leader Can Be Called Upon To Come Rule Again After Losing Elections by Didi2d(m): 7:41am On Feb 25, 2021
I fear for Nigeria, if this trick pulls out and jona decides to accept this Greek gift.
The strong man in Lagos will understand clearly that he has been betrayed and decides to look for another option probably an alliance with the east or an Oduwa republic.

But way things are going, 2023 election might cause doom for Nigeria
Re: GEJ: Leader Can Be Called Upon To Come Rule Again After Losing Elections by 9gerian:
It’s a trap to create confusion and divide the south. Tinubu, Jonathan, Umahi are all being edged on.

PDP will present a northern candidate. Northern leaders will decamp from APC using all manner of excuses and accusations. They will blame the south especially the SW for Buhari’s woeful performance and join PDP in droves in order to demonize and defeat any southern candidate presented by APC. All this is after they try to present another Northerner but encounter stiff pushback in APC by southern leaders. The cycle continues.

I'll never willingly support any Nigerian politician again in my life but let's face the truth, GEJ was not a good leader but Nigeria was a much better place under his tenure than it was with the IDIOT at Aso rock.

Ogbeni calm down .. be realistic sometimes u mean TINUBU is incompetent like buhari and GEJ?? u may hate tinubu cox of political indifference but it's an insult to mention Tinubu among GEJ and Buhari..


Last I check GEJ was also an ex Gov. same as TINUBU and with the Money Bayelsa gets on allocation u hardly point to what he did as Governor compare to Tinubu as a Gov. abeg o...


just like mentioning Umahi and ikpeazu in same line bcox ikpeazu. stop it even if u hate tinubu politically which is Democratically assumed.
Re: GEJ: Leader Can Be Called Upon To Come Rule Again After Losing Elections by Nobody: 8:08am On Feb 25, 2021
Nigerians do not need a President.

What is needed in Nigeria is total and uncompromised Confederal System of Government with great Governors at the States level.

We must do all it takes to make the Federal Government Level a toothless bulldog, cos that is where nepotism impregnates sin.
Re: GEJ: Leader Can Be Called Upon To Come Rule Again After Losing Elections by Stephenozili: 8:11am On Feb 25, 2021
We want an intelligent and visionaryleader who will drive this nation to the frontiers. Someone that will have second term opportunity to drive and sustain good governance.

Oga GEJ, please, note this; if you insist on running again, you have 4 years to do what you think will be best for you and may not be the best for the interest of the people and prevailing situation.

If you are allowed to effect any change to what is happening now, it will only take just 4 years for the perpetrators to reverse it. Nigeria is a project that no leader had ever owned. Rather they have remained operators and never owned the project in their drive. It is now clearly becoming a regional affairs than ever. It is not about being a good person, it about being a visionier.

Please, GEJ. don't run for this 4-year term. It is a bitter seed coated with honey of just winning and thereafter subjecting the nation into turbulent waters than whata we are experiencing.

REMEMBER THE SEVERAL WARNINGS BEFORE YOUR SECOND TERM BID .- A REALITY TODAY.
Re: GEJ: Leader Can Be Called Upon To Come Rule Again After Losing Elections by Freemasonry: 8:11am On Feb 25, 2021
The real reason why some northern power blocs want GEJ back is just out of political expediency and hubristic intelligence.
Their calculations are that if Goodluck is persuaded to run, then he would only spend four years and step aside, then the north can take over again- that’s to show you how little they think of the south.
Another reason is that they believe that Jonathan given his antecedents of pandering to the wishes of the north, and his gentlemanly disposition and democratic credentials will ensure that he doesn’t retaliate the north’s nepotism.

So that’s basically what is at play, but Jonathan would be foolish to step on this banana peel, ruining his statesman image from the fall.

What a pity. Despite all bad words used to describe this man. So he still did better than "alphaa, sheikh and imam change"?

Oga jona, no disgrace yourself. You've had your turn. They're only deceiving you. Just rest

Only way APC can win without rigging
Before nkor? So you think when you see a news item flying that is a lie? His body language already has shown he wants to contest under APC in 2023.
But my advice to him even though I am much younger than him, is for him not to contest.

If GEJ is wise he should reject any form of temptation to run under APC with El-rufai as running mate!

APC knows they have messed up big time and the next election will spell doom and total failure for them so they decided to plot a simple political script that has been written thus...

> Front GEJ as Presidential aspirant and El-Rufai as running mate...

> They win the elections...

> GEJ is then "eliminated" either literally or impeached...

> El-Rufai takes over from him and the Fulani dynasty continues!
here is exactly the plan or GEJ rules for 4 years and El-Rufai continues after four years

Your problem is that you have a very rigid and unrealistic idea about life

You honestly think Jonathan of 2021 is still the Jonathan of 2015? So you honestly think he hasn’t done some sober reflections on his time in office and how he was treated by fiends and foes when he left power? If you think Jonathan is still the same man of 2015, then I have a bridge to sell to you.

And you claimed that he is not tough enough to hold on to power, so what were you expecting ? that he overwhelmingly lost an election because of the lies and propaganda of the APC and majority of Nigerians felt he should leave at that time thinking Buhari was the Messiah. If Jonathan held on against the people’s will like you are proposing here now, will you not be happy to join in giving him the lynchin of his life in 2015? So he is weak because he left office after losing an election? You are the problem Sir

Lastly- you claimed he couldn’t do it after spending 6 years in office but you forgot the first 2 years was to serve out Late President Yar’Adua’s term. The next 4 years was his official first term - and world wide, politicians roll out their legacy projects or policies in the second term because they won’t be running for re-election, so they show their real colors in the second term. Was Jonathan given that last term ? No, he wasn’t - he lost

So if he gets the opportunity to serve that last term in 2023, you will know the real Jonathan.

Case closed!

I love GEJ but I don’t want him anywhere near that power again. This present government has destroyed this country beyond repair. Now they want someone to dump it on, as we know that Nigerians forget easily. Just two months into the power, same north will start shouting that he has finished Nigeria. He doesn’t have the will power to fight these terrorists plaguing this nation
