Jonathan Has Not Pulled Out of 2027 Presidential Race – Cousin, Azibaola

Posted by Thandiubani on Fri 29th Aug, 2025 - tori.ng

Although Jonathan has not officially declared his candidacy, strong indications suggest he has begun consultations across the country.

Azibaola Robert, a cousin to former President Goodluck Jonathan has denied reports suggesting Jonathan has stepped aside from contesting the 2027 presidential election.

Robert made the statement on Friday afternoon.

He dismissed the report in a post on his verified Facebook page, stressing that Jonathan never said he would not contest in 2027.

Azibaola was responding to a Newsweek Nigeria publication titled “Jonathan Rejects Pressure to Contest in 2027, Says He Won’t Be Used Against Southern Unity.” He described the story as fake and urged Nigerians to disregard it.

He further clarified that the purported “aide of Jonathan” cited as a source in the story does not exist.
