Jonathan’s cousin denies the report on the former president who set aside …

Former president Goodluck Jonathan denied the relationships that suggest that they have moved away from the dispute of the presidential elections of 2027.

The refutation follows the statements in a report report according to which the statesman born in Otuoke had decided not to run so as not to interrupt the southern unit.

Although Jonathan has not officially declared his candidacy, strong indications suggest having started consultations across the country to implement a second -term ambition.

On Friday afternoon, his cousin, Azibaola Robert, rejected the report in a post on his verified Facebook page, stressing that Jonathan never said he would not contest in 2027.

Azibaola was responding to a publication of Newsweek Nigeria entitled “Jonathan rejects the pressure to contest in 2027, he says that he will not be used against southern unity”. He described the story as false and urged the Nigerians to ignore it.

He also clarified that the alleged “Jonathan’s helper” mentioned as a source in history does not exist.

According to Azibaola, while Jonathan has not yet announced his decision to run, he was not equally excluded from the race.

“The former president clarified that he would not give in to calls not to run, since those who made these warnings had selfish reasons,” said Azibaola, without specifying when or as Jonathan could formally declare his ambition. (Avant -garde)
