Mohammed made this statement on Thursday in response to a request from a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) encouraging him to run for president. He expressed high regard for Jonathan’s experience and potential effectiveness as a leader.
“I am still weighing my options regarding a presidential bid,” Mohammed said. “There are many capable leaders in the PDP, particularly my former boss, Goodluck Jonathan. I have always maintained that I will not pursue a leadership position if Jonathan decides to run. If he chooses to enter the race, I would support him wholeheartedly. Out of respect, he has yet to indicate he is ready, but I hope you will encourage him to run.”
Mohammed praised Jonathan for his inclusive leadership and his efforts to address issues like the Almajiri system and youth unemployment during his presidency. He highlighted Jonathan’s exemplary leadership qualities and the positive impact of his policies.
Regarding his current criticisms of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, Mohammed stated that they are part of his duty to contribute to the country’s progress.
