APC considering Jonathan as 2023 presidential candidate – Adeyanju

Popular human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju has said that some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are considering fielding ex-President Goodluck Jonathan as their 2023 presidential candidate.

Adeyanju, convener of Concerned Nigerians, made the statement in a tweet, while emphasising that PDP presently has no leader.

The activist declared that previous presidential candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubakar, who resides mostly in Dubai, has abandoned the party.

He wrote, “If APC decides to give Jonathan their ticket as proposed by some, the PDP will become empty before 2023. But nothing is certain in politics.

“PDP currently does not have a leader. Only Wike is even trying to provide some form of leadership and funding for them. The Dubai guy is a clown.”

Recall that Adeyanju had a few days ago disclosed that some PDP shareholders are fed up of fielding Atiku as the presidential candidate of the party.

The activist had asserted that PDP shareholders are angry with Atiku for allegedly abandoning the party and relocating to Dubai after the 2015 elections.

Taking into account their indignation against Atiku, the activist claimed that shareholders are considering either Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal or Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed as their 2023 presidential candidate.

However, Goodluck Jonathan was the President of Nigeria under the platform of the PDP and has not declared any plans to defect to the APC.
