Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebelle Jonathan has said he is under intense pressure to contest in the upcoming 2019 presidential election.


Former and current president – Jonathan and Buhari


Speaking while addressing his kinsmen who paid him an end of year visit in his hometown, Otueke in Bayelsa State on Wednesday, former President Goodluck Jonathan, reportedly disclosed that he is under intense pressure to contest the 2019 presidential election.

According to a report by News24, the former president said he has been receiving calls, messages and e-mails from both local and international groups, asking him to contest in 2019.

Jonathan, however, said he is not thinking of contesting for now, as he believes he has done his best for the country while in service, adding that he believes that his successor(s) would continue from where he stopped.

Recall that since leaving office after he lost to President Muhamamdu Buhari in the last general election, Jonathan’s profile internationally has risen, and there have speculations that Jonathan may stage a comeback bid in 2019, but he has now finally laid those rumours to rest.
