Nigerians on social media have mocked former President Goodluck Jonathan following news making the rounds that a group has picked the expression of interest and nomination forms for him to contest the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The group picked the forms on behalf of Jonathan at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja, on Monday evening.
Jonathan is yet to announce his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
He took over power when the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua died in 2010 and contested the 2011 election, which he won.
Reacting, some Nigerians on Twitter and Facebook mocked Jonathan, saying he is finally set to embarrass himself. See comments below:
A Twitter user, @SolidHome3 said, “Is this really the kind of government we need. A man who can not stand his ground and do what is right but is being cajoled to the exact thing he rejected.”

A Facebook user, Auwal Moga, said, “Now APC have more than N20billions to win 2023 election for the purchasing of party forms. I know he won’t win but he want to try his luck.”
Brian Aji, another Facebook user, said “GEJ set to finally embarrass himself and strip himself of the small respect Buhari’s misadventure in Government availed him.”
Samcret Boss said, “This is the greatest Mockery of Democracy, is this what the Presidency have become? Thanks to Baba Senseless…, Even thieves that ought to be in jail are buying forms, even Rubber Stamp Senate president.. Nigeria was a Country..”
