A northern political organization called the Arewa Consensus for Jonathan has called for former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to run for president in 2027.

Jonathan, who presided over Nigeria from 2010 to 2015, is well-known for his contributions to the development of democracy and his orderly resignation following the 2015 election defeat.
His name has continued to be a topic of conversation regarding Nigeria’s future leadership even after he left office.

During a news conference in Bauchi over the weekend, the group’s head, Munir Musa, made the request and emphasized how important Jonathan’s return to office was to solving Nigeria’s urgent security and economic issues.

He maintained that in order to restore stability, Nigeria, which is dealing with serious economic downturns and growing security concerns, requires a leader with Jonathan’s background and skill.

Musa told reporters, “We think that Goodluck Jonathan is the right man to steer us out of the current malaise,” as the country is at a crossroads.

He said he was sure Jonathan’s leadership could mend the nation’s growing scars and bring about a new age of development.
