Former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, has dismissed suggestions of a return to the Presidential Villa.
Mrs Jonathan said she cannot return to the seat of power
because of the distress facing Nigeria.
The Guardian quoted the former First Lady as saying that she
needs peace, and therefore cannot return to the Villa.
She said: “The distress of Nigeria is so much that if God
manages to bring you out of it, you should glorify Him.
“Why do you want to go back there? I need peace. My peace is
enough.”
Her remarks come as pressure mounts on former President Goodluck
Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Meanwhile, presidential aide Bayo Onanuga recently cautioned
Jonathan against listening to those urging him to run, recalling his 2015
election defeat.
Speculation is rife that Jonathan may contest under the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2027.
Amidst these speculations, the former president has yet to
declare whether he will run or not.
