It’s gathered that some political stakeholders are mounting pressure on the former president to vie for the presidency again in the 2027 election.
Speaking on the matter, Patience Jonathan stated that her husband will not be on the ballot come 2027.
She explained there is nothing more the former president is looking for again in public service having already occupied the highest political office in the country.
She made the disclosure when the Greater Igbo Forum in Abuja visited her.
She assured that the former president was committed to supporting the government in building a better Nigeria.
According to her, “My husband has reached the pinnacle of political office. What is he looking for again? We are not going in again.”
She also called on the Igbo people to unite and focus on the collective good rather than personal or political differences.
“We should love this country more than ourselves. Because if you don’t love this country, what is the future of our children?” she queried.
She also urged the Igbo community to set aside politics and work towards unity and development.
“Let us manage one another. Let us love ourselves. Let us be united and be our brother’s keepers,” she added
