Mr. Jonathan Vatsa, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State, has threatened to abandon the party and leave politics if former President Goodluck Jonathan decides to run for president in 2023 under the governing party’s banner.
He said that the current APC has been blaming Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the country’s problems since 2015, but that they are now going to restore power to him.
If Jonathan accepts the move, Vatsa, a former Commissioner for Information, Culture, and Tourism in Niger State, says he will agree with a previous governor’s remark that politics has no morals.

According to him,” I pray it is a mere rumour or fake news, but if former president Goodluck Jonathan accepts to contest the forthcoming election and under APC, then I will agree with a former governor who once said there is no morality in politics. I will not only leave the party, I will quit politics and go back to the farm”.
In response to the announcement that Jonathan will run for President under the APC banner, the former state publicity secretary for the party said he understands the APC’s desperation to prevent the opposition PDP from regaining power in 2023.
He bemoaned the fact that, after seven years of underwhelming performance by the APC in all areas, Jonathan’s candidacy for president should not be considered.
“We told Nigerians in 2015, that Jonathan was a devil, Jonathan was corrupt, Jonathan was incompetent to address Insecurity in the country, Jonathan is from a minority tribe, and all manner of propaganda, seven years after he is now an angel”

“The ruling APC lied to Nigerians in 2015 in a desperate move to get the power at all means, including the threat of violence which has today divided the country along ethnic and religious lines, adding that “this country has never been so divided as it is today,” The state party stalwart noted
He continued, “since 2015 we have continued to blame Jonathan and PDP for our inability to perform and fix the country, and now we want to give the government back to the same man we accused of destroying this country, this is a huge joke and amount to taking Nigerians for granted”
Vatsa further declared that under the APC, Jonathan cannot win the election no matter the amount of rigging by the party, adding,” Nigerians can not sincerely vote for APC again no matter who is the candidate, or is it those that their relations are with kidnappers that will vote you or those that their loved ones have been killed by kidnappers”.

“The desperation at which we want to bring Jonathan back is a confirmation that there was nothing wrong with the Jonathan government, rather some people wanted power at all cost even when they know that they are not competent and capable”.
