Goodluck Jonathan rejects 100m APC Presidential Form

 

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

I am not interested in such gesture! Former Nigeria's president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan reacts barely hours after news broke that he had purchased a presidential form Under the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The N100 million naira APC's "expression of interest" form was purchased by a group known as Fulani Group as reported on evadoosh.com earlier.

Jonathan,however has refuted claims that he dumped his party, the Peoples Democratic Party as he is yet to make any decisions.   In a message this morning, he said he had "no knowledge" of those behind the form, was not a member of APC and "could not have accepted" such gesture. He stated!

The full statement by his Media Adviser, Ikechukwu Eze reads;

It has come to our notice that a group has purportedly purchased Presidential  Nomination and Expression of Interest forms, of the All Progressives Congress APC, in the name of former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

We wish to categorically state that Dr. Jonathan was not aware of this bid and did not authorize it. 

We want to state that if the former President wanted to contest an election, he would make his intentions clear to the public and will not enter through the back door.

While we appreciate the overwhelming request by a cross-section of Nigerians, for Dr. Jonathan to make himself available for the 2023 Presidential election, we wish to state, that he has not in anyway, committed himself to this request. 

Buying a presidential aspiration form in the name Dr. Jonathan without his consent, knowing the position he had held in this country, is considered an insult to his person. The general public is therefore advised to disregard it.
