According to PM News, Former President Goodluck Jonathan has ignited widespread speculation about a potential return to politics with a cryptic Instagram post shared on Wednesday.
The veiled message, seemingly directed at Nigeria’s current leadership, has fueled debate over whether the former president is eyeing a dramatic comeback ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Posting a solemn photo of himself looking downward during a past encounter with U.S. President Donald Trump, Jonathan wrote: “Since our current leaders are pretending to sleep, we pray that we will get our good leadership back in 2027; your choice will determine the betterment of our future.”
The post, which has garnered over 3,800 likes, triggered a wave of mixed reactions from Nigerians, many of whom interpreted it as a sign of potential political ambition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
While Jonathan did not mention any names or declare intentions, political observers see the message as a possible signal of renewed political ambition.
The post quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions from Nigerians across social media platforms.
Some interpreted the statement as Jonathan’s way of expressing dissatisfaction with the performance of the current administration, while others saw it as a rallying call for political change.
Speculation around Jonathan’s potential return to active politics has surfaced multiple times since he left office in 2015.
Though he has largely maintained a diplomatic posture, focusing on his roles in peacekeeping and democracy advocacy across Africa, his occasional political commentary continues to generate debate.
The aides close to the former president have neither confirmed nor denied any 2027 ambitions. However, the timing of his post amid growing national discontent over economic challenges and insecurity has only added fuel to the fire.
