I have no interest in the 2023 presidential election – Goodluck Jonathan

The Former President of the Federation, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has categorically stated that he has no interest  to run for the presidency in the  coming 2023 Presidential election

He claimed that reports about his interest in contesting the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria were only speculations.

The former President disclosed this while speaking at a condolence visit to the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa on the death of his father, Sir Okorie Okowa at the Government House in Asaba.

In his words: “On the rumor of my interest in the 2023 presidential election, it was mere speculation.

“I will continue to serve God, humanity, Africa, and the world to the best of my ability and with all sense of commitment and sincerity.”

Buhari is not sleeping.

The Balyesa Born Statesman also used the opportunity to address the issue of insecurity that is presently bewildering the country, stating that the present administration is doing everything within its power to combat insecurity.

In his words: I believe that with the commitment of the governors and the Federal Government, we will be able to address the issue of security in the country.

“I believe that the President himself is not sleeping and that the governors are not sleeping as well over the insecurity challenge in the country.

“As long as the governors, the President, and all the security agencies can work together, Nigeria will be able to cross over this very ugly phase of societal evolution.”

Governor Okowa however, appreciated the former President for his thoughtfulness and support in commiserating with

him and his siblings on the death of their father.

“We appreciate your fatherly role even within our own South-South region and I must actually use this opportunity to thank you for the establishment of the Maritime University in Okerenkoko because that actually did bring peace to us as a state,” Okowa noted.
