Senator Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa believes former President Goodluck Jonathan should be offended by reports that he is re-entering the presidential race.
Jonathan has been linked to conspiracies to seek reelection in the ruling All Progressives Congress, according to Anaedoonline.ng (APC).
According to reports, efforts to pull Jonathan into the presidential contest were hatched by certain northern governors and close allies to President Muhammadu Buhari.

A group also bought the APC’s Presidential nomination and expression of interest forms for the ex-president for 100 million naira.
Jonathan, on the other hand, did not attend the APC’s presidential screenings on Monday and Tuesday.
Bulkachuwa, speaking on Arise TV on Wednesday, called the speculation about Jonathan running for the APC presidential ticket “laughable.”
According to the legislator, the former President was politically nurtured by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) until he was elected president.
He said: “I have to laugh because anybody that has been spreading this wild rumour about Goodluck Jonathan contesting the election under APC, I think this is the most bizarre thing I have ever heard. And if I were his relative or if I were him (Goodluck Jonathan), I would feel insulted.

“How could I have served as president under a party that groomed me from the chairman of a local government to deputy governor, governor, vice president, and to the position of the president, then abandon that party for the sake of what?
“What has he forgotten in the Villa that he wants to go back and take? I would feel insulted about all that rumour. In any case, I am very happy that this thing has turned out to be absolutely baseless. So, we should put it aside and make it a non-issue.”
