Presidency Warns Nigerians of Jonathan's Alleged Dismal Record Ahead of 2027 Race

The Nigerian Presidency responded to former President Goodluck Jonathan's intention to contest the 2027 presidential race, cautioning that Nigerians won't forget his alleged dismal record in office. Special Adviser to the President on Information Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, criticized Jonathan's potential candidacy, citing economic decline, poor governance, and mismanagement of oil revenues during his tenure.

The Presidency accused Jonathan of depleting reserves and mismanaging security funds, leading to economic challenges. Onanuga highlighted the rejection of Jonathan's leadership in 2015 and questioned his eligibility for another term.

The statement emphasized the need for Nigerians to judge the impact of Jonathan's previous administration on the country's economy and security.
