Fellow Nigerians, something big is about to happen in our dear beloved country. I wish I could foretell a pleasant development. I truly wish. But what I see is total confusion. I refuse to see mayhem out of faith and not by conviction. I’m praying, fasting and hoping that our benevolent God would avert yet another dangerous crisis hovering over our great country. Nigeria has suffered too much since attaining Independence in the year of our Lord 1960. We have tried all sorts of permutations and configurations but nothing has work to our collective benefit. Each time we thought we were close to Eldorado, something came from the blues to dash our hopes and put us all into absolute disarray. I sometimes wonder who we have offended as a people and a country. Why are we so jinxed? A gracious God actually provided us with everything we needed to make our lives as comfortable as we wanted or desired.

I have been reading about the rising profile of our former President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and wish to state without equivocation that no one should rule him out of the 2019 presidential race. I first hinted this possibility about two months ago and wish to reiterate that Nigerians should prepare for the shock that awaits us. The story of Donald Trump should bring us back to our senses.

The second coming of Goodluck Jonathan may be so far-fetched or even belong in those categories of impossibilities but I wish to plead with our government and my fellow citizens not to rule it out. As one of those who made our modest and humble contributions to the coming of this Buhari government, I’m pleading with trepidation. Jonathan’s popularity is rising not because of anything he has done to atone the sins that must have led to his waterloo but as a result of what our change government has failed or refused to do. The obsession of our government with going all out...

Former President Goodluck Jonathan received a hero’s welcome when he visited Sokoto State on Thursday, November 17, 2016 to pay a condolence visit to the family of the late 18th Sultan of Sokoto, Ibrahim Dasuki. The late Sultan is the father of the incarcerated former national security adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki, who served under the former president. Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki passed away on Monday evening at the National Hospital in Abuja. Jonathan had earlier sent a condolence message and followed it up with a visit. Sokoto youths carried placards hailing former President Jonathan and asking him to come back as president. “Come back Baba Jonathan”, one of the youth’s placard said. Security operatives had a hard time keeping the youth in check as they chanted songs in honour of Dr. Jonathan.
