Amidst moves to draft former President Goodluck Jonathan into the 2023 presidential race, a support group has started rallying support for him in Bayelsa State.
The group called ‘Goodluck Must Run 2023 Movement’, is out to persuade the former president to heed the calls of Nigerians to once again serve the nation and also to rally support for him.

Already, leaders of the group have appealed to all stakeholders to work and make sure that former President Jonathan is returned to Aso Rock in 2023 as president of the country.
Chairman of the movement, Pastor London Brown and secretary Jones Ebi, in a statement on Monday, said they were rallying support for Jonathan to be returned as president of Nigeria to re-create wealth and ensure even distribution of such wealth to all sections of Nigeria.
He said: “Nigerians need a president that is devoid of sentiments in region, tribe and gender and to rediscover creative, talented Nigerians.
“Some of Jonathan’s sterling qualities are the ability to create wealth and distribute wealth evenly, his tolerance, peaceful nature, experience, fairness, public and international relations skills and his love for his nation.
“We call on political players in the regions, both from the Northern and Southern parts of the country, to allow him complete the remaining one tenure of four years which other regions have also benefited,” he said.
