2027: No evidence shows Jonathan running for president – Aide, Imagwa

Jude Imagwe, Special Adviser to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has said that there is no evidence that his former principal has bought presidential nomination forms.

Imagwe made this statement on Wednesday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on News Central Television.

He was reacting to the speculations around the former president’s 2027 ambition, noting that speculations remain unofficial.

Recall that a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Sani, had claimed that Jonathan had purchased a presidential nomination form ahead of the 2027 general election.

But Imagwe dismissed the narrative, saying, “There is no suggested evidence that shows that my boss (Goodluck Jonathan) purchased or obtained the form. 

“Some people said they granted him a waiver. If they have done that in the circuit, I as an individual do not know that they granted him waiver.  They are trying to make all this ceremony out of it.

“I find it relatively difficult to suggest right now that my boss, the former president, is actually contesting an election and if he’s contesting an election, it shouldn’t be announced to people by Prozy.

“He’s a strong man of strong character and strong personality having served in respective capacities, so, people should not announce for him whether he’s contesting an election or he’s not contesting. It’s a decision that he has to take.”
