The Coalition for Goodluck Jonathan 2027 has described former President Goodluck Jonathan as the most qualified and experienced leader to address Nigeria’s current challenges, confirming efforts to position him for the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking at an international press conference in Abuja on Sunday, the coalition’s president, Tom Ohikere, said the group is mobilising support across Nigeria and the diaspora to facilitate Jonathan’s return to national leadership.

Ohikere said the coalition serves as a central coordinating platform, bringing together various support groups with a shared goal of restoring stability, rebuilding economic confidence, and promoting responsible governance.

He noted that Nigeria is grappling with serious economic and security challenges, including rising inflation, unemployment, insecurity, and currency instability, which have deepened hardship and eroded public confidence in government.

According to him, the situation requires experienced leadership with a solid understanding of governance, adding that Jonathan’s record across different levels of public service places him in a strong position to lead the country again.

“Jonathan remains one of the few Nigerians with extensive governance experience and a proven track record of national leadership,” Ohikere said.
