A Canada-based group, Goodluckan Movement, has called on former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 election.

 

 

Spokesperson of the group, Chidinma Unigwe, made the call on Saturday in Ontario, Canada, during an interview with Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.

 

Unigwe said Jonathan’s leadership style reflects the values that Nigeria urgently needs.

 

 

She said the group believes that Nigeria needs a government that genuinely cares about its people and a nation where citizens have equal opportunities, adding that every Nigerian deserves nothing less from their leaders.

 

“Leaders are accountable and public trust is respected. Our mission is to promote good governance, peaceful civic engagement, and informed national dialogue, particularly at a time like this when Nigerians feel disconnected from leadership.

 

 

“We are all aware that most Nigerians are uncertain about the future.

 

“So in this context and using this platform, we’re publicly calling on former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election because we believe his leadership qualities are relevant to Nigeria’s current challenges.

 

“We call on Nigerians at home and abroad to join the movement.

 

 

“At this moment Dr Jonathan represents respect for democratic institutions, national unity and restraint in the exercise of power. These are qualities that have become even more important in times of economic pressure, such as this, times of social tension, and now that we have declining trust in leadership,” she said.
