The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, says former President Goodluck Jonathan has not informed him of any plan to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Wike stated this on Friday during a media parley with journalists in Abuja, while responding to questions about speculations that Jonathan was being pressured to return to the presidential race.
He said, “You’re the one telling me here. Jonathan has never told me; he has never called me one day.
“Look, I’m being pressured to run, what’s your thinking? If he calls me and asks me, I will be able to tell him my mind and what I feel.
“I will not because you people put something on the pages of the newspapers — just like you said they flew me out of the country — then, I now assume it’s correct.”
