Jonathan's Cousin Denies Reports of Presidential Race Withdrawal for 2027 Election
Former President Goodluck Jonathan's cousin, Azibaola Robert, refuted claims that Jonathan had withdrawn from the 2027 presidential race. This denial came in response to reports suggesting Jonathan opted out to maintain Southern unity.
Azibaola clarified that Jonathan never made such statements and is actively consulting across the country for his potential candidacy. The rebuttal followed a publication titled "Jonathan Rejects Pressure to Contest 2027," which Azibaola dismissed as fake news.
Jonathan's camp urged Nigerians to disregard the misinformation and emphasized that the former president has not ruled out running for the presidency in 2027.
