Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan has rejected the conditions given to him by the presidency to clinch the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress in 2023.
A source that spoke with SaharaReporters disclosed that the presidency asked Jonathan to join the ruling party with some Peoples Democratic Party governors in the South-South and South-East regions.
The source further stated that the former president rejected the conditions and told the presidency that he doesn’t have an interest in the 2023 presidency again.
It was gathered the presidency was embarrassed by the response of Jonathan, describing him as a traitor.
The source said, “They are now accusing Jonathan of not fulfilling some of his promises after all the several meetings and soft-landing given to him.
“He was to come on board by converting some PDP states in the South-South and South-East to APC, and that way he would get the automatic ticket uncontested. Some other conditions were also given to him.
“But guess what? He told them he won’t contest again. They are now angry, saying he was deceitful. They said after getting some of his seized monies back, his wife’s monies returned to him, he finally decided not to contest.”
This is coming a few days after a former Minister from the South-South was reported to have said the former president is set to decide if he would join the APC with the convention of the ruling party now over.
