Former President Goodluck Jonathan has revealed that Nigerians are mounting severe pressure on him to throw his political hat into the 2019 presidential election.
The ex- president stated this while speaking with his kinsmen who paid him an end of year visit in his hometown, Otueke in Bayelsa State on Wednesday.
According to a report by News24, the former president said he has been receiving calls, messages and e-mails from both local and international groups, asking him to contest in 2019.
Jonathan, however, said he is not thinking of contesting for now, as he believes he has done his best for the country while in service, adding that he believes that his successor(s) would continue from where he stopped.
It would be recalled that since leaving office in May 2015, Jonathan’s profile internationally has risen, and there have speculations that Jonathan may stage a comeback bid in 2019, but he has now finally laid those rumours to rest.
