The Publicity Secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Tukur Muhammad-Baba, has stated that former president Goodluck Jonathan must prove to Nigerians that he is different from who he used to be.
Speaking during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme on Thursday, Muhammad-Baba insisted that Jonathan needs to do more if he is to stand in for the forthcoming presidential election in 2027.
The Arewa spokesman said GEJ needs to sell and offer himself as an alternative.
The statement comes amid indications claiming that Jonathan is ready to contest the 2027 presidential election.
The Bayelsa politician is said to be getting set to battle President Bola Tinubu for the nation’s number one job.
Speaking during the interview, Muhammad-Baba said, “But, you know, Goodluck Jonathan will be a candidate. But of course, he needs to do a lot more to sell himself, to offer himself as an alternative, to show that he’s now different from the Goodluck Jonathan we knew as a person. Circumstances have turned out that some of the criticisms against him were simply political and so on.
“Well, anybody could be a candidate. But I think, given the circumstances right now in the country, the difficulties people are facing the challenging the economic conditions, it will take a lot more for a politician, whether they are from the south, the north or from the moon, to convince themselves, to convince the electorate, that they are different, or that they offer a new alternative.”
