Arise News anchor Oseni Rufai has warned former President Goodluck Jonathan against heeding pressure to contest the 2027 presidential election, saying those pushing him were the same people who worked against him in 2015.
Arise News anchor Oseni Rufai has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan to abandon plans to contest the 2027 presidential election, warning that those encouraging him have ulterior motives.
Rufai gave the advice on Wednesday during Arise Television’s Morning Show, days after the Tanimu Turaki-led PDP cleared Jonathan by waiver ahead of the party’s presidential primary.
He said, “Those that are pushing you were those that disgraced you in 2015. They were those that used the media arsenal against you. Those that are behind you now and are pushing you to run were the same that did not find you worthy in 2015.”
Rufai urged Jonathan directly, saying, “I know the pressure is much on you to run. They are pushing, they are doing everything, but please be careful. Don’t listen to them. They’ll lead you astray.”
