Jonathan speaks on 2019 presidential election

Former president Goodluck Jonathan has denied a report that he has intentions to contest the 2019 presi­dential election.

The report, which was published by an online me­dium, stated that Jonathan declared interest to run for presidency in 2019 in Bayelsa yesterday.

It was reported that Jonathan was inundated with calls from Nigerians “to recontest and salvage the economy from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, Jonathan’s media aide, Ikechukwu Eze, has denied the former president is considering taking another shot at the presidency.

Eze said the former president never made any declaration on 2019 election, either in May or this month.
