Leader of the Grassroot Network for Asiwaju Tinubu group, Mr Abiodun Mafe has said former President Goodluck Jonathan is not a known member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and therefore cannot be made the consensus candidate of the party ahead of 2023 presidential election.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Mafe made this known, stressing that until Jonathan proves to the whole world that he is a card-carrying member of the APC, he cannot be made the consensus candidate of the party.
“Jonathan has never been a member of the APC, so how will it be possible for anyone to say that he will be made a consensus candidate? Until he now proves to the whole world that he is a card-carrying member of the APC, it can’t be.
“Even at that, there is a process. Constitutionally, anybody who is a member of the APC has the right to contest but as far as I am concerned Jonathan is not a part,” Mafe stated.
Recall that Jonathan was last week asked by a political group to run for the highest seat of power in Nigeria.
Although he did not accept nor reject the plea, he said he is still making consultation(s).
Jonathan has been absent from all PDP gatherings for the past two years, it is unclear if he has switched allegiance to the APC, the party he once condemned.
