The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has warned that those urging former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election are deliberately plotting to plunge the country into crisis.
Speaking on Channels Television “Politics Today”, monitored in Abuja on Wednesday night, Wike said it was hypocritical for the same people who frustrated Jonathan’s bid in 2015 to suddenly be calling on him to return, despite his established status as an international statesman.
“Anybody saying Jonathan should return because he will only do one term is only looking for crisis. These are the same people who abandoned him in 2015. Why now? Jonathan has made a name for himself globally and they just want to drag him into unnecessary conflict,” Wike said.
