A veteran Nollywood actor, lawyer and politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has advised former President Good Jonathan to stay away from the 2027 presidential race for his own good.
He said the Bayelsa-born politician should not even consider or contemplate entering the race.
Okonkwo, in a video shared on X on Friday evening, noted that Jonathan had served as a President and during this period of almost six years, went against certain conventions and norms.
The former Labour Party chieftain believes that giving Jonathan another four years would mean that the former Bayelsa State governor would be President of Nigeria for about ten years, having ruled for almost six years.
There are speculations about Jonathan coming back to contest for the presidency in 2027 and the former president has not come out to publicly debunk or validate the rumours.
Earlier in the week, the Presidency, through Bayo Onanuga, spokesperson to President Bola Tinubu, kicked against the idea and added that the court will decide Jonathan’s fate.
“My own advice is that Jonathan should not consider contesting for the presidency in 2027. He should not contemplate it,” Okonkwo said.
“The same forces that nearly destroyed his name when they were not in power are now in power, they will take his name to toilet.”
