The President of the Nigeria Rescue Mission Organisation and former President of the Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO), Dr. Jibril Mustapha, has called on former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Lagos, Mustapha urged Jonathan to heed growing appeals for his return, describing him as the leader Nigeria urgently needs to navigate the country’s current challenges.

He said: “As the nation prepares for the 2027 elections, the Nigeria Rescue Mission Organisation believes that now is the time for all stakeholders to unite behind a candidate who can genuinely represent the interests of all Nigerians.

“We urge former President Goodluck Jonathan to consider this call and step forward for Nigeria as a candidate who can unite our country and lead us toward a brighter future.”

Mustapha stressed the need for a leader who embodies integrity, inclusivity, and a deep commitment to national unity.

“Nigeria is at a crossroads. We are grappling with significant issues that threaten our stability and progress. We need a leader who can bring all Nigerians together, regardless of their background,” he said.

Mustapha praised Jonathan’s previous tenure, noting that he demonstrated a firm commitment to democratic values and prioritised the welfare of all citizens.

He added that the Nigeria Rescue Mission Organisation firmly believes Jonathan possesses the vision, experience, and leadership qualities needed to guide Nigeria toward a stronger and more unified future.

Subject to the proper interpretation of the relevant laws, GEJ contesting in 2027 will be the strongest challenge to bat.

I don't think so

Jona should enjoy his retirement in peace

E be like say una wan finish the small money wey the man save remain...

If GEJ comes out , it’s over for tinubu, he can’t win no mater the rigging

Look at this ozuoo calling on GEJ to come and rescue Nigeria. He has forgotten when they carried coffin and claimed GEJ was a terrible person. Let him enjoy PBAT.

Some people don't really care about good and able leadership, they just want their person to be in power. Jonathan was a terrible president

Gej coming back is a welcome idea.

If he couldn't then, he can't now. We need leaders with balls of steel

Jonathan is not that foolish.

Jonathan was the one that allowed APC to come in, he should be the one to come and kick them out

coming back to receive insults abi?

After discarding Jonathan like a piece of trash...

Same people are calling for his return.


Round and round we go like a barber's chair!

his wife has already warned the sentimental losers should leave her husband alone o.

He is the only southern candidate that can do one term , bringing another fresh southerner will jeopardise the opposition plan to win . Most northern politicians will rather stick with Tinubu who has only 4 more years than to a new person who will want to use 8 years

If the north/south can come together and bring back GEJ. The East will follow suit, Tinubu’s second term is dead!

he has done his 2 , he is not eligible to contest, more so he will never go against tinubu even he was too legit to quit.

Stupid people make ona leave my brother, when he was president you lot said he was weak, he was corrupt, even general overseers protested against him, now you want him to come rescue you people from what you voted for

If GEJ comes out, we will implore Obi to step down

He hasn't oo,he only did one term , the term that would have made it two was the one he lost the election. If he had won in 2015 then he would have done two . He competed Yar adua tenure ,then contest his own ticket . He still has one term of 4 years left ,reason why the opposition see him as a viable option because he won't seek another term after the one he wins

Every 4 years, they will be disturbing Jonathan to contest. They will not allow the old man to be drinking his ogogoro in peace

"Who will want to use 8 years"

Is the new person who WANTS to do 8 years the owner of Nigeria?

I don't know how educated & exposed people still reason in this century. More focused on power rotation than competence. Nawa o

If someone doesn't do well on their first tenure, they should be no mumu chance again like we did under BUHARI that took us a million years back with this current istration continuing were it stopped by taking us way further backwards.

Jona saw the future when he said something about choosing between moving forward or backward, choosing between glaring reforms or empty promises. Na the bad Side of that forsight from jona be wetin wey dey suffer now from the inception of APC till date

Dey deceive yourself.

You would rather Tinubu wins again right ?

The weak man that losed as incubent president is who you expect to win this time.

He gave APC the power

That's the biggest insult to Nigeria. Forward ever, backward never.

Jonathan still faced the problem of swearing in 3x. This was a case take to court, I can't the outcome but it will be too much of a distraction. You can't be sworn 3x as president.
