They wielded placards and banners with inscriptions such as “Goodluck Jonathan Must Run for President, 2023 and “Jonathan is our Candidate,” among others.

The ex-president had gone into a closed-door meeting with the leaders of the group.

Addressing the supporters after the meeting, Jonathan said the youths should keep getting involved in the political process for a better Nigeria.

The ex-president said, “You are calling me to declare for the next election. I cannot tell you I am declaring. The political process is ongoing, so just watch out. The key role you must play is to pray that Nigeria gets somebody that carries the young people along; somebody that can also work very hard to see that some of the problems are addressed by the government; and I believe we will work together.”
