2023: Jonathan Not Contesting -Aide

The Spokesperson to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Ikechukwu Eze has described some online publication that the former president is under pressure to contest the 2023 presidential election as untrue.

Some online platforms  had reported  that Jonathan said he was under immense pressure to contest the presidency in 2023 and that he had been promised the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, should he decide to contest.

But Eze said it was untrue that the ex-President made such comments.

 He said such reports had surfaced in some online platforms in the past, adding that such insinuations never emanated from Jonathan.

According to him, Jonathan has not made any comment on the coming 2023 elections.

He said, “There was nothing like former President Jonathan saying he is under pressure to contest. The former President has not made any comments nor spoken to anyone on the coming elections. He is busy concentrating on his foundation, The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation (GJF), and its work of promoting peace, sustainable democracy and youth empowerment in Africa.

“This is an old fake story that keeps coming up every now and then. If you check online, you will discover that a story with similar headline had been published in the past by a few shady online sources. The last time this same story circulated online was before the 2019 Presidential elections.

“It has now come up again. The good thing is that Nigerians already know this to be fake. That is why Nigerian newspapers and serious online news media will not publish such falsehood.”
