As the campaign for the 2023 presidential election heats up, a group calling itself the “Fulani group” led by Ibrahim Abdullahi has bought the N100 million APC nomination and expression of interest forms for former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Remember that on April 22, 2022, demonstrators stormed Jonathan’s Abuja private office, pushing him to run for president in 2023.
A spokesman for the demonstrators, Mayor Samuel, who is also the convener of the Youth Compatriots of Nigeria had said, “We were deceived and brainwashed by those who claimed they could do it in 2015.
“Now, we know better, under Jonathan the minimum wage could buy one or two bags of rice. What do we have today? We are begging President Jonathan to forgive us, we have realized our mistakes, we want him back to complete what he started.
