Jonathan says it’s too early to talk about 2023 presidential contest

Former President Goodluck Jonathan had said it is too early to talk about his interest in the 2023 elections.

Reports have been making the rounds about the former president being persuaded to run at the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term.

Similarly, two weeks ago, some governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) visited Jonathan at his Abuja residence in commemoration of his birthday but also held a private meeting with him.

Issues discussed at the meeting were not disclosed but according to sources “2023 permutations are taking shape”.

However, Jonathan said there are still other issues to focus on ahead of the next general election.

He made this known to reporters on Friday after attending an event organised by the Commonwealth Community Choir in Abuja.

When asked if he would be joining the presidential race in 2023 he said: “It is too early to talk about”

The ex-president also spoke about the issue of insecurity in the country calling for support for the federal government and the security agencies to overcome the challenges.

Jonathan said Nigeria is not the only country affected by insecurity, adding that he had his challenges to deal with while in office.

Jonathan has been enjoying goodwill from APC leaders in recent times.

Last week, Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno south district, had said Jonathan had become great in the “eyes of his critics”.
