Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday met with Mamman Daura, the influential nephew of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), amid reports that he will be facing the presidential screening of the All Progressives Congress this week.

In a photo posted by Sahara Reporters, Jonathan is seen shaking hands with Daura.

The former President had last month asked his supporters to “watch out” following calls for him to contest.

A group of Fulani and Almajiri communities also claimed to have sold their cows in order to purchase the N100m form of the APC.

In a chat with The PUNCH, the group said Jonathan would turn up for the screening of presidential aspirants in Abuja.

This is even as the group confirmed that the presidency has started reaching out to aspirants to converge for a meeting on talks that borders on his anointed aspirant.

When news of his APC nomination forms went viral, Jonathan had distanced himself from the group, describing it as an insult.

He was, however, spotted with the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on the same night that he denied showing interest in the forms.

His renewed romance with the APC has got many Nigerians pondering if he is the possible joker the party was counting on as a consensus candidate.

Speaking with our correspondent, Secretary of the Fulani Group, Usman Mohammed, confirmed that Jonathan’s form had been submitted.

The National Secretary of the APC, Suleiman Argungu, had also confirmed that Jonathan would be screened.

Mohammed said, “Haven’t you heard that we are going to be part of the aspirants for the screening?

“Did I not tell you two weeks ago that despite the submission deadline, the leadership of the party cannot turn down Jonathan’s forms? Quote me anywhere that from now to Thursday, you will be informed about talks surrounding the APC consensus candidate.”

Asked how the group successfully convinced both Jonathan and the APC national working committee into reaching a compromise, Mohammed declined comment, saying it is not what he can divulge to the media.

Time shall tell

Okay

You guys should Stop fishing for idiots. So Jonathan cannot visit anyone in peace or what?

You tinubu urchins should get busy sweeping floor in SDP by now in anticipation of Tinubu's arrival.

Gej lobbies ke? Abi daura lobbies Gej.
While some people are taking this presidential thing as a do or die affair, someone else is being lobbied to join the race.

GEJ is coming to implement his 2014 Confab report.

It might even be a single term of 6 years for elective positions. Who knows?

It may just be a coincidence and not as narrated in the post ...

Tunibu and his e~rodents don suffer...chai

Is he begging for anointing as well ?

Reno foolish Omokri said it is Tilumbu that will win the primaries and that Goodluck Jonathan is not going to contest again.

People can not take pictures in peace again? Oh well, trust Nigerian politicians at your own peril.

Shebi he rejected and denied the form those herdsmen collected for him.
2ndly, he wasn't announced to be part of those that paid N100m for a firm that's not worth N10K.
This APC govt sha wan crash to pieces like PDP. All they do is to hurt Nigerians daily.
I bought 4 litres white paint yesterday for my office painter at rate of N8200. Last year, it was N4500. Almost 100% increment.
Buhari God ll judge you and APC o.

Fake news.

How relevant or consequential is Buhari's nephew in Apc?

Really? Why not Jonathan not visit him since January? I hope Jonathan will visit him again after the party primaries and he is not adopted to be the flag bearer?

You should know any movement Jonathan makes now will be politicized. So you think he's not being visiting friends and elder statesmen since he left office without cameras following him everywhere?

Omoluabis coming to insult elderstatesman Goodluck Jonathan in 3,2,1...


Amala and Hatewedu eaters.

His movements are purely political. He obtained form from the back door, submitted the form from the back door and now want to be screened, cleared from the back door. Why is he not bold enough in this contest he is very much interested in?

sweets how are you?
:

Jonathan would be the worst mugu ever liveth if he wants to return now. The same person they called all manner of names including ineffectual buffoon is now trying to come back?

If he couldn't change Nigeria when oil prices were high, is it now he would make any difference??

Las Las he would just end up disgracing himself.

My own question is, how will the APC be able to campaign for him and how will PDP be able to attack him?

The same man one party condemned to high heavens and the other party said was better than the replacement

APC, Buhari and suspense are 6 and 9.
Nothing can surprise Nigerians any more.
We've seen the bad , the ugly, the worse and the worst in the government of Mr Integrity.

This guy na mumu. See how an Ex president is belittling himself for a nobody. Real simp

Strange things are happening
