The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has urged former President Goodluck Jonathan to reject the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, factional presidential ticket.
Keyamo said the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, does not recognize the PDP faction that gave Jonathan the presidential ticket.
Recall that the PDP under Tanimu Turaki had adopted Jonathan as its presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
But Keyamo advised Jonathan to turn down the gesture on his global image.
Keyamo wrote on X: “This is some kind of bizarre comedy taken too far by supposedly grown adults and some names that were actually in the corridors of power at some point in this country.
“A whole Presidential ticket handed over to an ex-President and statesman by proxy and by a bunch of people that are not even registered on the INEC’s website.
And they don’t care two hoots, dragging such a revered figure into their charade that is certainly a journey to nowhere. Sad very.
President Goodluck Jonathan should immediately issue a strong ‘no, thank you’ statement in the interest of his global image, lest Nigerians start remembering the ‘clueless’ campaign that got him out of power – the first sitting President to be so ousted.
