Former President Goodluck Jonathan has yet to make a decision on the 2023 presidential election since he is still consulting, according to the Citizens Network for Peace and Development.
While urging Jonathan to run, the human rights organization stated on Monday that the ex-president may run on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Raphael Okorie, the CNPD’s national coordinator, said this during a news conference in Abuja.
Okorie said, “The entire country, men, women, East, North, South and West are unanimous for Jonathan to contest the 2023 presidential election.
“The presidential election is not a Local Government election and a man who has been the Grand Commander-in-Chief of this country knows the full import of running in a presidential election.
“What he is doing is to respect every facet that have a role to play in the 2023 presidential election by consulting and having discussions with them and having them buy into this project. The man we are talking about is not selfish about becoming a President, he is not ambitious about becoming a President because he has been the commander of this nation.
“Therefore, he is making every step to see that consultations are full and conclusive before taking a step. But I can assure you today that Jonathan is going to run for the 2023 presidential election, God’s willing he is going to become the next President.”
