As the 2027 elections draw near, former Nigerian President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has called for active participation of Nigerian youths in electoral processes.

DAILY POST reports that Jonathan made the remark in Abuja on Thursday when a large number of youths stormed his residence, appealing to him to join the 2027 presidential race.

Addressing the crowd, Jonathan urged those advocating his comeback to get their Permanent Voters Card, PVCs, and actively participate in the election.

He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to carefully look at the growing apathy in Nigeria, lamenting that Nigerians are not interested in elections.

He said that young citizens of the country “must be involved in the electoral process”.

Lamenting the prevailing voter apathy in the country, Jonathan told the youths, “Probably 50% of you don’t even have voters card and you are asking me to go and contest the election”.

DAILY POST recalls that on 5th May 2010, upon the death of then President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Jonathan was sworn in as Nigeria’s President.

On May 29, 2011, the Bayelsa-born politician was again sworn in after winning the April 2011 presidential election.

Although Jonathan, who lost the 2015 election to Mohammadu Buhari is yet declare his intention to join the 2027 race, a cross section of Nigerians are calling for his comeback.

Some political analysts, however, argue that the Nigerian constitution does not allow for a person to be sworn in as President three times.

“The evil that men do lives after them. I said this because we (Northern Muslims) are going to interrogate and question Peter Obi’s tenure when he was the governor of Anambra State. What he did to northerners.

“He even made them have an ID card, their names, where they are from and their occupations. In this Nigeria that we live. He will come and explain to us.

“It is the same Kwankwaso that had to fly to Awka and sit with him and say, be careful. I have more Igbos in Kano living in peace than there are northerners throughout the South-East,” Yusuf said.
