Goodluck Jonathan denies claim of endorsing Atiku

Claims that former President Goodluck Jonathan has endorsed the Atiku/Okowa presidential ticket is false, according to a report.Infomation Guide Nigeria

According to the article, Jonathan’s clarification may be a result of his affection for Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, whom he has supported morally and otherwise in the runup to the 2023 general election.

A close associate of the former president who attended the recent courtesy visit arranged by the governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, told Daily Sun that Jonathan is unhappy that the PDP transformed the private visit into an endorsement of their presidential candidate.

He stated that journalists were not permitted to observe the private visit and chat. Unbeknownst to the host (Jonathan), PDP hawks secretly recorded the event and released it online to make it appear as though the former president had endorsed Atiku.

According to a source of ours, President Jonathan is a statesman who provides the same courtesy to all presidential contenders; hence, the ceremony in which he prayed for Okowa was no exception.

He added that the guests, led by the governor of Bauchi, brought some kola nuts for Jonathan to pray for the incoming vice president (Okowa) and that the former president simply used their own words to pray for him.

GISTLOVER source told Daily Sun: “You know that President Jonathan has a soft spot for the Bauchi governor who led the delegation. Atiku who had made several efforts to get Jonathan’s support was not even part of the delegation.

“Jonathan was surprised when his attention was drawn to the news on the social media that he had endorsed Atiku. That did not happen but as a statesman, he just let it go instead of putting up a statement denying it.

“ It was to forestall the PDP making a political capital of the visit that Jonathan’s aides prevented the media from being in the meeting but who knew that some hawks in the party had planned to use it to gain some mileage.”

The report stated that if there is any presidential candidate that enjoys the support of the former president, it is Peter Obi. He said that the LP candidate had visited Jonathan at least three times since the conclusion of the party primaries unlike candidates of other parties..Jamb Result 

“You know that Obi is very close to Jonathan for obvious reasons. When Oga was in power, Obi was one of those close to him and they have continued to enjoy the relationship till now. I am sure that is why many people are surprised when they started to read that he has endorsed Atiku/Okowa ticket. Jonathan is a statesman and he treats all the presidential candidates with respect but people should not misunderstand that as an endorsement”, he said.
