Nigerian Lawmakers Urge Government Action as Ex-President Jonathan Remains Trapped in Guinea-Bissau Coup

Nigerian lawmakers have called on the federal government to intervene and ensure the safe return of former President Goodluck Jonathan, who is currently trapped in Guinea-Bissau after a military coup. During a parliamentary session, Deputy Speaker Julius Ihonvbere (Rep, Owan East/Owan West) highlighted the urgent security concerns surrounding Jonathan's situation, emphasizing the need for national attention.

The legislators stressed that every Nigerian abroad, including former leaders, deserves equal protection. The House eventually passed a motion directing the government to engage diplomatic and security channels to bring Jonathan back home safely.
