Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has rejected the presidency’s demands for clinching the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket in 2023.
According to a source who talked to Newsmen, the presidency invited Jonathan to join the ruling party along with certain governors from the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-South and South-East regions.
According to the source, the former president rejected the terms and informed the White House that he would not seek re-election to the presidency in 2023.
REVEALED: See Condition Goodluck Jonathan Gave Presidency To Join APC
According to reports, the president was mortified by Jonathan’s answer, which labeled him a traitor.
“They are now accusing Jonathan of not keeping some of his commitments after all of the meetings and soft-landing offered to him,” the person added.
“He was to come on board by converting some PDP states in the South-South and South-East to APC, and that way he would get the automatic ticket uncontested. Some other conditions were also given to him.
“But guess what? He told them he won’t contest again. They are now angry, saying he was deceitful. They said after getting some of his seized monies back, his wife’s monies returned to him, he finally decided not to contest.”
This is coming a few days after a former Minister from the South-South was reported to have said the former president is set to decide if he would join the APC with the convention of the ruling party now over.
