In a report published on the official X account of ARISE NEWS on Saturday, August 30, 2025, Jonathan’s cousin, Azibaola has reacted to report that the former President will not be contesting in the 2027 presidential election.
In the report that surfaced, Jonathan’s cousin described the statement as baseless and untrue. He said the former President has not even come out to tell Nigerians that he will run in the election not to talk of saying he won’t run.
Jonathan’s cousin stated that while the former President has not come out publicly to declare his intention to compete in the election, he has equally not ruled himself out of the race.
Azibaola stated that Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has consistently stated that he won’t listen to the people telling him not run in the forthcoming presidential election because most of them don’t mean well for him.
According to ARISE NEWS, Jonathan’s cousin said that;
“The story is completely false. Former President Jonathan never said he would not contest in 2027. The so-called aide quoted in the publication does not exist“.
