Rufai Oseni reacts to calls for Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidency

Rufai Oseni reacts to growing calls for former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidency, raising tough and emotional questions about Nigeria’s future. Rufai asked: *Does Jonathan truly have what it takes to rebuild Nigeria’s struggling economy? Can he genuinely fight corruption? Can he rescue a nation battling deep poverty, unemployment, and a collapsing forex system?* He pointed out the irony that many of the same voices urging Jonathan to return to power today were among those who strongly criticized his administration in 2015, accusing him of mismanaging the country and failing Nigerians. “How did someone considered not good enough in 2015 suddenly become the solution in 2027?” Rufai questioned. He also raised concerns about Nigeria’s failed refinery system, asking: *Can a government that could not fully fix and revive the nation’s refineries truly solve today’s economic crisis?* Nigerians are still suffering from high fuel prices despite being one of Africa’s biggest oil-producing nations. Rufai further questioned the legality and morality of another presidential bid, as many Nigerians continue to debate whether a former president who has already completed a constitutional term can return for another tenure following past court interpretations and constitutional arguments surrounding third-term ambitions in Nigeria. Nigeria is currently facing one of its hardest economic periods in decades, with millions of citizens trapped in severe poverty and families struggling daily to survive. The rising cost of living, unstable naira, and worsening forex crisis have left many Nigerians frustrated and hopeless. Some political observers also believe the renewed push for Jonathan’s return may be a strategy aimed at dividing the support base of Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 elections. For many Nigerians, the real question is no longer about political comebacks, but about leadership that can genuinely restore the economy, create jobs, stabilize the currency, revive local industries, and give ordinary citizens hope again.
