A Casual Chat on Politics: The Jonathans and the Tinubus
Bola Tinubu Endorsed Goodluck Jonathan's Presidential Bid in 2011 - Sani
In an unexpected twist, Umar Sani, a former spokesperson for Namadi Sambo, points fingers at President Bola Tinubu, alleging his support for Goodluck Jonathan's election in 2011.
According to our website, this declaration was made in response to Patience Jonathan's support for Tinubu's re-election. Interestingly, the former First Lady, in a recent gathering, asserted that her husband has no intention of returning to Aso Rock. Instead, she expressed her plans to campaign alongside Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu for her husband's re-election in 2027.
However, Sani seems to be less than impressed with this endorsement. He argues that it contradicts the stance of Goodluck Jonathan against Tinubu's political choices.
Sani's statement questioned the internal consensus within the Jonathan household regarding a possible return to politics in 2027. He also raised the question of whether this could be a personal misstep with significant political consequences.
Interestingly, Jonathan's history with Tinubu is complex. While Tinubu reportedly offered some support for Jonathan's campaign in 2011, he played a crucial role in Jonathan's ousting during the 2015 general elections. Since then, Jonathan has consistently denied joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressing his loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The perceived alignment between Patience Jonathan and the Tinubu camp has raised concerns. Is this a quiet defection to the APC? And if so, on whose authority? Sani cautioned that Patience Jonathan's voice carries weight and her statements should align with her husband's public posture and the broader objectives of the PDP.
For those eagerly anticipating the 2027 elections, this isn't the last we'll hear of the Jonathans and the Tinubus. Stay tuned for more political dramas unfolding in Nigeria!
