Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, met with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu in Abuja late yesterday.
The meeting took place in the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja hours after a group, claiming to be Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, bought the APC nomination form for him
TheNewsGuru.com recalls that there have been intense lobbying and calls by some groups advising the former president to contest the 2023 presidential elections as since he is still eligible for another term.
However, Jonathan in statement last night distanced himself from the group which allegedly bought the nomination form for him revealing that if he wants to contest the elections, he would make an official declaration.
Jonathan joined the Peoples Democratic Party in 1998 and went on to be elected deputy governor, governor, vice-president and president on the party’s platform.
He is yet to formally announce his membership of the APC, who he lost the 2015 elections to as incumbent.
