Former presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad has alleged that some politicians are mounting pressure on former President, Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election.
In a post on his official X handle on Monday, Bashir stated that those pushing the former president claimed his candidacy will be easy to market in the North.
He wrote, “From all indications, there are ongoing subtle moves by certain political elements trying to convince former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest again in 2027.
“They calculate that his candidacy will be easy to market in the North under the guise that he would only serve a single term.
“But the troubling part is that this push is not rooted in what he would offer the North or the country at large, but merely in political convenience and power rotation.
“The North deserves more than being used as a political ladder”.
Political analysts say Jonathan is the only politician from the South who can beat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
