Is he not clueless again? By: Ahmed Abdullahi

The posters the immediate past Nigerian President His Excellency Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has been trending in the social media amidst rumours that the former is way to the rulling All Progressive Congress though he said that Nigerians should not take such information serious.

The posters of the former President with #JonathanMallami2023 is signaling that he is running along the Nigerian Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami SAN who is been described one of the strong bones of President Muhammadu Buhari Government. Those who were made to believed that the preassumtion former President Jonathan was the problem of Nigeria by the present administration Government are free to make judgements themselves.

Jonathan happened to be among living Nigerian politicians who always try to avoid media even when he was on seat as President. Nigerians bigwigs are earger to hear view of the former President whether or not he is running under the Platform of the rulling All Progressive Congress. Nigerians are in the same page regarding this rumour with a many of them if not all are expressing their thoughts that sooner or later the Jonathan will no distance time take a decision.

Lack of Political ideology in Nigeria has done more harm than good to our Democracy as the Political elites are good at gunning for power without knowing how to play with the power. It has force us to believed that APC and PDP are similar with personality traits.It is only in Nigeria that Politicians crosscapates from one Political party to the other where emphasis are placed only on acquiring power. It means that everything in Nigeria is summantable except death.

This give us brief background of how typically a Nigerian Politician behaves each time he is hungry for power and funny enough most of them hardly keep their memories alive. Jonathan was insulted and different names rained in his Government that made Nigerians to convincingly reject him in 2015 and Usher in the current Government of Muhammadu Buhari with the expectations that the pages of the book will very interesting to read.

The romance by the former President Jonathan and the incumbent President has spoke alot about the purported posters currently dominating discussion on the internet. If Jonathan is flying the flag of the All Progressives Congress in the fourth coming elections along the current Minister of justice Abubakar Malami SAN then the campaign will very interesting as Nigerians suprise to same person they once said is incompetent making a return.

Jonathan was the former Deputy Governor and Governor of Bayelsa State ,He was a Nigerian Vice President, acting President and later President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria until he was defeated in 2015 by the revolutionary change Government of the current All Progressive Congress. Nigerians of 2015 are still the same Nigerians of today with their memories afresh to make rethink on practically all issues that led his defeat. Insecurity then was a major challenge that dominated the section of the media of the current APC though in real terms there was massive Government failure to address Security and economic problems during the period he served as President.

President Buhari was a military Governor who later became head of State and was elected President almost 40 years after quitting power with high expectations that a man with vast experience in leadership is coming at the right time to salvage Nigeria. These were expectations of Nigerians as Jonathan Government as blamed for everything that failed to work she he was President. Those who privilege to witnessed the 2015 elections can testified that there was no point in time in the history of our national elections that an elected President Victory is celebrated like that of Muhammadu Buhari.

Nigerians was celebrating that a man they described as an incompetent and incredible has been defeated given a Room for the credible and competent leadership to take over.I am confident that even the former President was not blamed by the incumbent APC Government certainly Nigerians will kick against recycling of leaders in 2023 most especially those who was in power but has failed woefully to make any positive impact.

This article is not projecting anyone as the next Nigerian President and it will not be surprise to see Jonathan in the rulling party though should he consider joining APC then the founding fathers will be left as spectators. Should he consider flying the flag of APC,I am confident that it will be his worst outing because of his incompetency this time around but because no one will make Nigerians to read and believe in two different versions of stories.Those woing him into the rulling APC must keep remember that they Once described him as clueless.

Nigerians will be equally be left with this very questions while judgements follows.
(1) He was clueless and incompetent?
(2) Who is he now ? Who described him as such ? (3) Who is recieving him back to APC?
