Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan has disclosed that former President Goodluck Jonathan will not join the presidential race in 2027.<\/p>\n

Patience said Jonathan had occupied the highest political office in Nigeria and has no further political ambition.<\/p>\n

Speaking while hosting the Greater Igbo Forum in Abuja, the former First Lady said Jonathan had held numerous significant political positions.<\/p>\n

She assured that the former president was committed to supporting President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

According to Patience Jonathan: \u201cMy husband has reached the pinnacle of political office. What is he looking for again? We are not going in again.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also called on the Igbo people to unite and focus on the collective good rather than personal or political differences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should love this country more than ourselves. Because if you don\u2019t love this country, what is the future of our children?\u201d she queried.<\/p>\n

She also urged the Igbo community to set aside politics and work towards unity and development.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us manage one another. Let us love ourselves. Let us be united and be our brother\u2019s keepers,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
