by Solomycin

News broke yesterday that some youths went to Goodluck Jonathan’s private office to beg for forgiveness and also urge him to contest in the 2023 election, when the news broke it generated a lot of feedback because it was something people were not expecting to hear.

Babajide Kolade Otitoju also reacted to the news by letting people know that this is not the first time something like this is happening to Goodluck Jonathan, he said Nigerians got tired of Jonathan at a point, but now he has become like a new bride that everyone wants to see. Read what Babajide Kolade said below.

“At a point Nigerians got fed up of Goodluck Jonathan but things have gotten so bad especially in the area of security that Jonathan is now looking like the best thing that happened since slice bread.

You know there was a time Jonathan visited the Sultan of Sokoto and outside the palace before he even got there people were already waiting and some of them were saying we regret voting against you, we regret moving against you. So when people go through the kind of problem they are going through now they tend to feel that anything is possible
If it could happen in Sokoto then I may not be surprised that it is happening now, I also know that efforts have been made to get Jonathan to join the race from within APC, even Goodluck Jonathan can’t deny that some APC leaders went to him to plead with him to contest, if he fears God he can’t deny that those moves were not made because I am aware that those moves were made.


I know that at the end of the day Jonathan may not contest because without the consensus arrangement if he goes to the APC

Champions League action continued on Wednesday night when Atletico Madrid hosted Man City at the Wanda Metropolitan stadium in a quest for the Los rojiblancos to turn around a 1-0 first-leg deficit.


But it was Man City who was in control of the first half but with very few chances to show for it. However, Gundogan did have a chance in the 30th minute to open the scoring when but his effort smashed the post. Both teams played out a goalless draw at halftime.

They first had a chance in the 57th minute to open the scoring and draw themselves level on aggregate but Griezmann’s effort went wide off the left post. Atletico Madrid had another chance in the 70th minute after a nice build-up play from Felix, Correa, and Llorente found De Paul whose effort went wide off the right post.
