Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has cautioned those urging ex- President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Wike warned that such moves could destabilise the country.
He stated this on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme Thursday night.
He described the campaign as hypocritical, recalling how many of the same voices abandoned Jonathan during his failed 2015 re-election bid.
“Anybody saying Jonathan should return because he will only do one term is only looking for a crisis”.
“These are the same people who frustrated him in 2015. Why now? Jonathan has made a name for himself globally, and they just want to drag him into unnecessary conflict,” he said.
The minister argued that fronting Jonathan or any southern candidate, under the guise of a “one-term presidency”, was a ploy lacking sincerity and a threat to Nigeria’s political balance
