#GEJisComing is a funny hashtag. Beside the fact that he can only do 4 years, I won’t support Goodluck Jonathan in either the APC or PDP. Tinubu & Atiku are a NO for me as well. Nigeria must forward, away from the past. Give me fitness, give me a technocrat, give me competence,

I will rather have Jonathan rule me again than to have Tinubu or Osibanjo rule me. I’m very sure Jonathan will even give Peter Obi a high position when he wins and Peter Obi will be effective in his government. Either way, it’s a win win situation for me 🤝 https://t.co/Ex13FZKv75

When the name of Jonathan comes into the 2023 conversation, I always wonder if people have forgotten, how incredibly incompetent he was as President. It is okay, if we look back at those days with a sense of bad turned worse, but it does not take away the events of the period.

If APC is having a consensus in favour of GEJ, it would be a hard hit on Tinubu because Tinubu did everything to destroy Jonathan in 2015.

Former President Jonathan shouldn't be tempted to contest 2023 election. 4years isn't enough to repair the deep decay in Nigeria. pic.twitter.com/Fyz8L7QBwW

I would only vote for GOODLUCK JONATHAN only if he contests on the platform of PDP, whatever makes him come back to join the APC he warned us about, I’m not buying it.
