A member of the House of Representatives from Bayelsa State, Fredrick Agbedi, on Wednesday insisted that former President Goodluck Jonathan reserves the right to contest in 2027.
Agbedi also said the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, should be commended for bringing Jonathan to rescue Nigeria.
The PDP chieftain disclosed this while featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show.
According to Agbedi, Nigerians want Jonathan and he can strengthen the chances of PDP returning to power.
He said: “The PDP has spoken severally about Jonathan running and it has almost completed all the processes. The formal handing over of the certificates of returns is in my custody to be presented to Jonathan.
“As a citizen of this country every member of this country should sacrifice for this nation and with the credible transformation he had as President, if PDP wishes to bring the right person to help pull Nigeria out of her precarious situation, what Nigerians should be doing is to commend the PDP and Jonathan because if you don’t sacrifice for your country who else are you going to sacrifice for? Where else are you going to sacrifice?
“If Jonathan will sacrifice for the betterment of Nigeria and people are saying he shouldn’t do that, where do you expect him to go and serve? He is contesting under the platform of the PDP.”
