Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo state, has advised ex-president Goodluck Jonathan against returning to the presidential race in 2027, saying such a move could damage his legacy.
Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Sunday Politics’, Oshiomhole said only those who do not mean well for Jonathan would urge him to re-enter the political arena.
The senator representing Edo north said the All Progressives Congress (APC) will easily defeat Jonathan if he decided to contest.
“How can Jonathan be a threat? We defeated him before when PDP was truly PDP,” Oshiomhole said.
“If a man had PDP at its best, at its peak, and he was defeated, I think only his enemy will push him to go into election.”
The former APC national chairman advised Jonathan to preserve his image as a respected statesman, noting that his decision to concede defeat in 2015 earned him global admiration.
