Former Plateau lawmaker Dachung Bagos has described former President Goodluck Jonathan as a “prophet,” stating that many of Jonathan’s warnings and predictions during the 2015 election campaign have come true.
Bagos made this statement in a video shared by SYMFONI from 2:26, where he reflected on the political and economic state of Nigeria since Jonathan left office.
“Jonathan was like a Prophet; most of the things he said during the campaign in 2015… all of them have come to pass,” Bagos remarked.
During the 2015 election campaign, Jonathan had repeatedly warned that the country could face serious economic and security challenges if not carefully managed.
He cautioned that Nigeria’s unity and democracy needed to be protected, highlighting concerns about governance, national stability, and economic policies.
Bagos pointed out that Jonathan’s concerns have manifested over the years, citing the worsening security situation, economic downturn, and internal divisions in the country.
He suggested that many Nigerians now look back at Jonathan’s administration with a different perspective acknowledging that his tenure despite criticisms, maintained a level of stability compared to the challenges the country currently faces.
The former lawmaker’s comments have sparked discussions among political analysts and citizens with some agreeing that Jonathan’s warnings were ignored at the time while others argue that Nigeria’s current struggles are the result of broader long-term issues.
Bagos’ remarks add to the ongoing political debate about leadership and governance in Nigeria, particularly as the country prepares for future elections.
The video has since gained traction online, with many Nigerians weighing in on the legacy of Jonathan’s administration and its impact on the nation today.
