Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan can run in next year’s presidential election, a court ruled on Friday, clearing doubts over his eligibility and paving the way for him to return to national politics.

Goodluck Jonathan, former President of Nigeria.

His spokesperson said this month he would not seek the ruling All Progressive Congress party’s ticket although a group of supporters from northern Nigeria bought nomination forms for him. President Muhammadu Buhari signed a constitution amendment in 2018 seeking to bar vice-presidents from serving more than one full-term in event of succeeding a president through death, impairment or ill-health, a hurdle which Jonathan had to clear.“If the court had said it was binding, Jonathan would have been deemed to have done eight years in office and therefore not qualified to contest election as President of Nigeria,” the lawyer said.

Well... Goodluck pal!

Like seriously! What did he really do for Nigeria for him to come back for another term? Or just another power hungry politician?

As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Allison_Grillo.

Good luck to Jonathan.
