Recall that, in the last 24 hours, a story has been circulating on social media quoting former President Goodluck Jonathan as saying “no coalition formed to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027 will succeed, if he decides to seek another term.”
Jonathan allegedly made the statement in Seoul, South Korea, while receiving the 2025 Sunhak Peace Prize.
He was quoted to have said that Tinubu would not face any serious challenge in getting re-elected, in reaction to the recent announcement of an opposition coalition to challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the next presidential election.
