Could former President Goodluck Jonathan make a political comeback in 2027? A former presidential aspirant believes Nigerians still need him.
Mathias Tsado, who once contested under the Action Democratic Party (ADP), has urged Jonathan’s close associates to persuade him to enter the 2027 presidential race.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Tsado described the former Bayelsa governor as a leader with the right qualities to put Nigeria back on track.
“Yes, he has not declared that he wants to run for election, but for somebody like me, I am praying for a day that will come when President Goodluck Jonathan will declare and say, ‘I want to run’,” Tsado said.
He further encouraged Jonathan’s allies to remind him of the speculations around the 2023 elections, stressing that this time the call should be real.
“Those who have his contacts, those who have access to him, should speak to him. They should point out the other rumors around in 2023 that he was going to run and all that. There were rumors, but this time around, [they should tell him], ‘Please come around, sir, because Nigerian people today need you’,” he added.
