‘Jonathan Wants To Be President, There Is No Reluctance On His Part’ – PDP Chieftain, Umar Sani

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Umar Sani, has claimed that former president, Goodluck Jonathan, has not shown any reluctance in joining the 2027 presidential race.

Naija News reports that Sani made this known on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television.

According to Sani, Goodluck Jonathan is taking his time before publicly accepting or rejecting the party’s nomination form because of the various court judgments trailing his eligibility.

The PDP stalwart stressed that Jonathan wants to become president, but obstacles must be cleared before he makes his decision public.

He said, “There is an eligibility case against Jonathan. Even though the court has dismissed the case, the people are adamant and they have gone ahead to appeal the judgment.

“Now, one thing must give way for another to thrive. Jonathan wants to become president. There are encumbrances that need to be cleared before he will express himself.

“So I won’t think there is any reluctance on his part. He is very determined to become president of Nigeria, but he is being very careful about the court case.

“So, as far as we are concerned, Jonathan is our candidate. We have put out his name, though he has not come out publicly to either accept or reject. I think he’s been very strategic. He’s taking his time.”
