A member of the House of Representatives from Bayelsa State, Fredrick Agbedi, has said former President Goodluck Jonathan deserves commendation for offering himself to contest in 2027, stressing that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should be praised for presenting him as a candidate to “rescue Nigeria.”
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Agbedi insisted Jonathan reserves the right to run and argued that Nigerians want him back to strengthen PDP’s chances of returning to power.
“The PDP has spoken severally about Jonathan running and it has almost completed all the processes. The formal handing over of the certificates of returns is in my custody to be presented to Jonathan,” he revealed.
Agbedi described Jonathan’s past tenure as a period of credible transformation, urging Nigerians to see his candidacy as an act of sacrifice.
“If PDP wishes to bring the right person to help pull Nigeria out of her precarious situation, what Nigerians should be doing is to commend the PDP and Jonathan. If Jonathan will sacrifice for the betterment of Nigeria and people are saying he shouldn’t do that, where do you expect him to go and serve? He is contesting under the platform of the PDP,” he said.
The Bayelsa lawmaker emphasized that Jonathan’s return is not only legitimate but necessary, framing it as a patriotic duty to stabilize the country.
