Abuja, Nigeria – E be like say the 2027 presidential election go sweet pass any sweet wey person don chop! Dem don talk am say Goodluck Jonathan, na former president wey sabi waka with plenty controversies, fit take stand for the next election. But you know say e no easy like that, sha.
The ‘Aso Rock Palace’ don release statement wey clear say Nigerians no forget wetin happen during Jonathan reign. Dem call am ‘lack of progress’ – and that na heavy wahala (I mean, nobody want party wey no get agenda, yes?).
Some members of the opposition, especially people from PDP, don dey shout say Jonathan make sense to run again. Na so our paddy, Professor Jerry Gana, wey don see many things for this life, come drop this hot take. But wait o, dem still get their eye on Tinubu, the current president wey just dey chop his own part of the national cake.
Dem say Jonathan show himself during normal 2015 election, when he go call Buhari at the end to congratulate am. That one come make plenty people wan consider am like better man, but you know say football where e win dey different from the ‘politics wahala’.
Dakta Ibrahim Baba Shatambaya, wey sabi politics like bread and butter, talk say Tinubu dey shake for this matter. Why? Because Jonathan fit be real threat from the south, where dem don already split into two sides. You know how Nigerians dey tribe, religion, and all those matters matter like say dem be holy grail.
As the dynamics change, the game go change! Shatambaya mention how previous elections dey show say the North hold the power. And if Jonathan no make mistake, him fit collect serious votes from there. This na something wey Tinubu no wan face because abeg, who wan start fight with person wey don carry crown before?
Jonathan don show am: “I fit concede when my time finish,” but the tune dey change as PDP don dey ginger their own southern candidates too. Dem don declare say dey get enough people wey fit rise up, including some possible governors wey sabi the grassroot matter.
For many, Jonathan na the first leader wey fit sit down and talk diplomacy like fine wine (no be wahala, no noise). After him government, e don carry him brand all over Africa – talk about democracy, very classy!
So, as the race for 2027 dey heat up, we dey watch with ginger! Jonathan don enter the chat, and if Tinubu no careful, the game fit belle give am wahala. And as always, Nigerians dey here dey watch, dey laugh, and dey prepare their vote like say na food wey dem go serve for party, who go chop better?
