Amid rising hardship and economic challenges tied to policies under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, many Nigerians are calling on former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to step in once again.
Echoing the recent victory of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who made a historic return to the White House, some Nigerians are urging Jonathan to consider a similar political comeback in 2027.
Following his 2020 election loss, Trump’s re-election as the 47th U.S. President is seen as one of the country’s most notable political revivals.
Trump, a member of the Republican Party and former president from 2016 to 2020, secured his win against Kamala Harris, the incumbent Vice President and Democratic candidate.
The victory has energized supporters of former leaders around the world, including those of Jonathan.
Taking to his X account on Sunday, Jonathan extended congratulations to Trump, calling his achievement remarkable.
In his message, he wrote: “Dear President Trump, I extend my warmest felicitations to you on your election as the 47th President of the United States.
Your impressive victory reflects the American people’s trust in your leadership and vision for the future. I am hopeful that your presidency will support the American dream while advancing global peace, stability, and progress. Please accept my heartfelt congratulations once again.”
In response, numerous Nigerians flooded the comments, calling on Jonathan to return to Aso Rock and provide relief from the current economic strain.
Supporters urged him to follow Trump’s example, reminding him of the potential impact his leadership could have on lifting the nation from the challenges it currently faces.
