The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan not to contest the 2027 presidential election, urging him to “preserve his legacy as an international statesman.”
Wike’s comments come amid “growing speculation” that Jonathan may be considering a return to the presidency under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform.
During his monthly media chat in Abuja, Wike stated, “I know Jonathan very well. He enjoys being respected internationally as a statesman and I believe he will continue in that role.”

The FCT minister took direct aim at those promoting Jonathan’s potential candidacy, accusing them of “hypocrisy and betrayal.”
He pointed out that many of the “same political actors” had “played him” and “worked against him in 2015.”
Wike asked, “People pushing Jonathan, what strength do they have? Were they not the same people who worked against him in 2015?”
He also warned the PDP against making decisions that could “worsen its ongoing internal crisis,” adding, “For Christ’s sake, nobody should create problems for the party. When you cause problems, you are the one to blame.”
