1. Redemption Narrative & Global Political Pattern

All around the world, we’re witnessing the return of leaders once rejected. Donald Trump, once blamed for America’s chaos, is back in the game because many now feel Biden has failed them. John Mahama, who was voted out in Ghana in 2016, is now leading the opposition with new fire because the people are tired of the current government. This is not coincidence—it’s a global pattern. People are calling back leaders who’ve walked through fire and returned refined. And right now, Nigeria fits that pattern perfectly.

Goodluck Jonathan did not fight, curse, or spill blood to remain in power in 2015. He bowed out like a true statesman, putting the nation first. That singular act earned him global honor, respect, and dignity that no Nigerian president has ever touched. But after watching Nigeria decay under those who kicked him out, the stage is now set for a divine comeback. His return is not for ego—it is for destiny. Nigeria is bleeding, and the one who left in peace must now return in power to finish what he started. This is not just politics. This is the trend.

2. Proven Track Record of Economic Growth, Freedom, and Stability

Let the truth speak for itself. During Jonathan’s istration, Nigeria’s economy became Africa’s largest. Inflation was stable. The naira stood firm. Fuel was affordable. There was no drama with subsidies. The exchange rate didn’t make Nigerians weep. Civil liberties were respected. Nobody was locked up for speaking truth to power. The middle class was rising. Businesses were growing. Foreign investments were flowing into the country. People were struggling, but they had hope. Today no hope at all in sight.

Look at Nigeria under Tinubu now. Fuel subsidy was removed with no proper plan in place. What followed was hunger, anger, and chaos. The naira is in free fall. Prices of food and transportation are insane. Youth are jobless and hopeless. Healthcare is now a luxury. Education is gasping for air. Nigerians are tired of hearing “we are planning, be patient, it is reforms” while they are starving. Jonathan doesn’t need to promise change. He already delivered it before. We traded gold for gravel, and it’s time to return to what worked.

3. Tinubu Championed Jonathan’s Fall—Now It’s Time to Flip the Script

In 2015, Bola Ahmed Tinubu used everything in his political arsenal to tear down Jonathan. He called him weak, corrupt, and clueless. He fueled the propaganda machine. He built the APC on Jonathan’s downfall. He pushed Buhari to power and made Jonathan the scapegoat for everything that went wrong. They laughed when he conceded. They celebrated when he walked away.

But now, the table has turned. Tinubu promised to fix Nigeria, yet within just two years, he has delivered more suffering than Jonathan did in six years. What a perfect moment it would be for the same man they threw out to return and politically retire Tinubu with class, strength, and vengeance. This is David returning to defeat the Goliath who once mocked him. It’s not about personal war—it’s about legacy, justice, and national recovery.

4. National Appeal and Southern-Christian Balance

Nigeria is fractured along tribal and religious lines. What the country needs now is not a tribal king or a regional emperor. Nigeria needs a healer. A peacemaker. A man who can sit at the table with both the North and the South, the Christians and the Muslims, and be trusted by all. Jonathan fits that description.

He is a Southern Christian who never ruled like one. Under him, no region felt neglected. He appointed Muslims. He gave the North key positions. Even during the Boko Haram insurgency, Jonathan tried to unite, not divide. But under Tinubu, tribal favoritism is tearing the nation apart. Appointments are lopsided. Decisions favor one region over the rest. Nigeria is now a house divided against itself, and we need a leader who can bind the wounds of a broken people. Jonathan is the only one with the moral credibility and calm temperament to bring the nation back together.

5. Global Respect, Diplomatic Clout, and Clean Image

Since leaving office, Goodluck Jonathan has become one of the most respected African leaders on the global stage. He didn’t disappear into the shadows—he rose in influence. He became an ECOWAS envoy. He was called to monitor elections across Africa. He stood with the United Nations. He was celebrated as a symbol of peaceful leadership and democratic values. While others were trying to fix their image, Jonathan’s name was opening doors across Washington, London, and Addis Ababa.

Now compare that to Tinubu. His public image is shaky. His international trust level is questionable. Nigeria’s reputation under Tinubu has been struggling. In an age where global respect determines foreign investment, loans, aid, and partnerships, Nigeria can’t afford to be led by a man who sparks suspicion on the world stage. We need a man the world already trusts. That man is Goodluck Jonathan.

Conclusion: A Divine Reversal is Coming

The same man they mocked for being too soft is now the one the nation sees as too honorable for a dirty game. In 2015, Goodluck Jonathan walked away like a man of peace. But in 2027, he must return like a lion with fire in his bones. This is a battle for the soul of Nigeria. Like Trump and Mahama, he must rise again—not with pride, but with power. Not with noise, but with results. He is wiser, stronger, and more focused now. The scars have become symbols of experience. And the voice they once ignored must now echo through the ballot boxes.

The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. A divine reversal is coming. And this time, it will shake every altar of lies and deception.

My love for GEJ is unparalleled. God knows I love that man and respect him a lot. After Peter Obi, the next politician I love so much iS GEJ and those are the two politicians I love and respect a lot in Nigeria, the rest are useless. However, we want total destruction of Nigeria and the fóolish cl0wn in aso rock is currently doing that. So my amiable ex president, you don't have any business rescuing this country. When you were in power they said that you were the worst ever, even the ineffectual buff0on now in aso rock was saying all kinds of trash then, but now the power is in his hands, he's now clueless.

GEJ my lovable ex president, enjoy your retirement in peace, let the foóls who elected Buhari and The idiót now figure a way out how they will save their already dilapidated ZOO

He shouldn't cuz Nigeria has deteriorated beyond redemption.

Jonathan is a good man who left office with his head held high. Coming back to fix one of the world's most corrupt nation might tarnish his reputation.

Make him rest

Goodluck Jonathan is now pro-Tinubu. By the time Bayelsa Governor decamp to APC, he will move with all the leadership structure in Bayelsa including Jonathan.

Pre-2023 election, we also heard Jonathan was Buhari anointed secret candidate so all this rumor no dey move anybody.

One thing is sure, no mortal can defeat Asiwaju in 2027 election.

Many Nigerians are very funny

They just write thrash based on what they think n not reality, so the op doesn't understand that political dynamic have changed n right now even south south politicians will never Jonathan.


As it stands now, 2027 n 2031 political chess game have started. With the way south south governors moved to APC, if they can give tinubu the needed to win in 2027.

One of them will definitely become vice President in 2031 when a northerner takes over n with that they have higher chance of contesting presidency when next it comes to the south.


Many people are just too emotional, they don't see reality.

Reason 2: President Tinubu has failed the entire country and the south in particular.
