The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed speculations that former President Goodluck Jonathan could challenge and defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

In a statement on Friday, the party’s spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, said while Jonathan deserves credit for overseeing a peaceful transition of power in 2015, his return to the presidential race would not pose any real threat to Tinubu.

He argued that Nigeria has moved past politics built on emotions and nostalgia. Also, he stressed that the country now needs bold, forward-looking leadership to tackle present challenges. According to him, Jonathan’s administration between 2010 and 2015 left behind serious structural problems. These problems includes rising corruption, insecurity, and economic stagnation.

Oladejo also highlighted legal and political hurdles that could surround a possible Jonathan comeback. Having already served more than one term, he said any attempt at another run would spark constitutional debates and potential instability at a time when Nigeria needs focus and unity.

He further noted that Jonathan’s political relevance is uncertain, pointing to his mixed signals in recent years, ranging from his quiet engagements with the APC to his lack of active involvement in rebuilding the PDP. These moves, he said, cast doubt on the former president’s loyalty and political direction.

But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.

Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
