Jonathan Reacts To Rumoured 2023 Presidency Ambition

 

 

 

 

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to his rumoured race for the 2023 presidential election.

There have been speculations that the former president may take over power from President Buhari, who succeeded him in 2015 when he completes his second term.

Jonathan had a brief session with reporters on Friday after attending an event organized by the Commonwealth Community Choir in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

When asked if he would be joining the presidential race in the 2023 general elections, Dr Jonathan said, “It is too early to talk about that.”

Dr Jonathan contested the 2015 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but lost and conceded defeat to President Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

It was the first time an incumbent president would lose re-election and conceded defeat in the history of Nigeria.
