2023: Finally, APC ends speculations about Jonathan
The All Progressives Congress has put paid to speculations that former president Goodluck Jonathan would contest next year’s presidential election on its platform. The party has released names of its presidential aspirants but Jonathan is conspicuously missing from it.
APC’s national spokesperson, Bar. Felix Morka, released the list comprising 23 names. Equally missing in the list is the name of the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele. Emefiele had procured the presidential forms of the party apparently through proxies. He however chickened out of the race.
