The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has urged former President Goodluck Jonathan to consult it first if he wants to contest the 2023 presidential election.
PANDEF said its urging on Jonathan became necessary following the report of APC presidential form purchase for the ex-president..
Though, the media aide to the ex-president, Ikechukwu Eze had come out to deny the authorization of his principal on any group to purchase 2023 presidential form for Jonathan.
In a chat with our correspondent, the National Publicity Secretary of PANDEF, Ken Robinson urged Jonathan to first consult PANDEF if he wants to contest the forthcoming presidential election.
“We will tell Jonathan the political platform to use as well as other confidential information at our disposal that will secure victory for him.
“Jonathan has the constitutional right to seek another presidential term but he has to listen to us for his own good and that of the Niger Delta region.
“We understand why some Northern groups are calling on him to contest the 2023 presidential election after same Northerners ignored his good deeds and voted him out of office in 2015.
“It will be very wise for Jonathan to hear from us before seeking presidential election in 2023,” Robinson said.
PANDEF added that a lot of APC members and the Northerners who are calling on Jonathan to contest the 2023 presidential election are doing so for political reasons and “we know their antics”.
