In December 2020, I wrote, thus: “It seems some politically sagacious northern states’ governors in Nigeria’s ruling party, APC, want former President Goodluck Jonathan to be APC presidential flagbearer in 2023, if Jonathan agrees to decamp from PDP to APC. Lol. That is really unfair as Ndubuisi Ekekwe has not even tasted any water in Aso Rock, and they are focusing on making more presidents out of former presidents. Haba Nigeria….Obasanjo, Buhari…and Jonathan.
It does not sound really crazy if you look at the permutation: Jonathan can only serve a single term. Period. And if that is the case, he is the only Southern Nigeria politician that would make it possible for many governors from the north to have a chance in 2027.”
This does not seem crazy as we read that some people have bought forms for Jonathan to run for president.

In August 2021, I noted that Jonathan and Tinubu were the frontrunners in APC for president. But let me add that President Buhari can save these men these troubles (or some troubles) by calling and endorsing Ndubuisi Ekekwe!
Yes, irrespective of the campaigns for delegates, only Buhari and Buhari alone will determine the flagbearer. So, watch what he does in the coming days! The race is not open because it is possible Buhari has decided.
Buhari for APC is like Tinubu in Lagos State; Lord Lugard handed Lagos to Tinubu while Buhari got Nigeria for 2023!
