A political pressure group, Goodluck Nigeria Movement, GNM, has announced plans to stage a ‘200 million man’ rally across Nigeria to appeal to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election.
The plan was disclosed in a statement endorsed by the Director of Strategic Communications of the group, Dr. Derek Omoleh.
The group noted that Nigeria needs an ‘experienced’ leader not an ‘apprentice’ as it navigates the current economic and political turmoil.
The statement said, “We remember when Nigeria was the pride of Africa—the largest economy, a hub for global investment, and a place where dreams were affordable. That was the “Jonathan era.”
“From farmers in the North to traders in the South, the message is universal: “Bring back the stability of the Jonathan years.” His return means a swift return to policies that benefit the masses instead of just the elites.”
The group said it was on a national rescue mission to bring back a leader who it described as a symbol of Nigeria’s last period of true prosperity.
While calling on well meaning Nigerians both at home and in diaspora to join forces with the movement, Omoleh said, ”Nigeria is suffering, and we cannot look away.
“The Goodluck Nigeria Movement is the voice of the hungry, the hope of the unemployed, and the protector of our democracy. We have chosen Dr. Goodluck Jonathan because he has nothing to prove but everything to offer. The movement starts today; the rescue is certain.”
During this time of division, Dr. Jonathan remains the only person who can stay calm amid the chaos and bring peace. His “Peace First” philosophy is what our democracy urgently needs. Recall his historic speech, “my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.”
