Salihu Lukman: Jonathan Is Not An APC Member, It Is Not Possible by oshozondii: 4:58am On May 30, 2022
The National Vice Chairman, North-West of All Progressives Congress, Salihu Lukman, has said former President Goodluck Jonathan is not a member of the party.

Lukman, disclosed this in a telephone interview with The PUNCH at a time media reports are suggesting that some leaders of the ruling party are dragging Jonathan into the APC presidential race.

He said he found the news touting Jonathan as the party’s joker or anointed candidate annoying.

He said, “I can tell you this straight away. Jonathan is not a member of the APC as far as this party is concerned. What is being discussed in the media is very strange to many of us. We are not even aware that anybody has bought form in the name of Jonathan and we have closed the sales of forms.

“All those media speculations, yes we know everything can be possible in this country. But as far as this party is concerned and some of us are there in critical structure, that is not going to be possible.


“You can quote me on this that I said it is not going to be possible. Anybody who is talking about it is just talking nonsense.”

When reminded that there are still some high ranking members of the party and in the presidency who are still keen on his candidacy, Lukman disclosed that he was unaware of it.

“I am not aware whether the chairman or any member of the National Working Committee makes such a statement. But where such a statement was made, it must have been done out of error. It is not possible.

“Jonathan is not a member of APC as far as we know. Besides, our membership in the political party is not a secret. Feel free to quote me please,” he said.

Lukman slammed media reports saying the party has settled for consensus, saying the APC is willing to give every presidential aspirant a level playing field.

As of the time of filing this report, the camp of the former president could not be reached for reaction.

Efforts made to contact Jonathan’s spokesman, Ikechukwu Eze, proved abortive.

He neither picked the calls of our correspondent nor replied his sms.

A Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, had ruled on Friday that the former President is eligible to contest the 2023 presidential election.

The presiding judge, Justice Isa Hamma Dashen, gave the judgment in a suit marked FHC/YNG/CS/86/2022.

Dashen also held that Jonathan’s right to vie for the office of president again cannot be stopped by any retroactive law.

In politics anything is possible.
If his the specially chosen one, he might be granted waiver.
After all, he wasn't a member , yet 100m form was sold in his name.
Are non members suppose to obtain the form?
Anyway, d day is around the corner

You are the one who have no clue about how Politics is been played. Where will GEJ start his campaign from?

And if you want to to talk about being consensus candidate in Apc, what did he do in Apc to warrant such platter of gold gift?

I have always said it here that the Jonathan consensus story is nothing but media speculation. Saharareporters and some rogue media are simply entertaining their usual gullible audience.

APC will conduct a free, fair and credible primary election. Any aspirant that is not willing to compete at the primary level for the party’s ticket is not fit to be the party’s candidate.

I get honestly surprised whenever I hear Jonathan’s name being bandied about with regards to APC’s presidential ticket. The same clueless, gullible, ineffectual and inebriated Jonathan or what changed?

Personally, I don’t bother to read such threads or posts because I know it’s just a media contraption used as a coping mechanism for self consolation, by some that dread the thought of a Tinubu/SW Presidency (which is inevitable by the way).

Arewa for Jagaban.

let's place a bet if you are so certain of him. Be sincere with yourself if you are APC member, would you watch an outsider, a complete stranger come from no where to get the party ticket on a platter of gold? Isn't that weird? Who does that? I know nothing is impossible in naija politics but not up to this extent.
