Its fake news, I never supported or tipped Tinubu to win 2027 presidential election —Goodluck Jonathan
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has dissociated himself from an online report claiming he tipped President Bola Tinubu to win re-election in 2027.
The ex-president’s Media Office debunked the online report titled, ‘Tinubu will win 2027 presidential election – Goodluck Jonathan’.
The report claimed Jonathan said no coalition formed to stop Tinubu’s re-election will succeed.
The ex-president was quoted as stating this in Seoul, South Korea, where he received the 2025 Sunhak Peace Prize.
However, Special Adviser to the ex-president, Ikechukwu Eze debunked the online report in a message posted on Facebook on Wednesday.
“The attention of the Media Office of His Excellency Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2010-2015) has been drawn to a piece of false information with the above title, currently spreading on a segment of the social media.
“This is fake news fabricated by agents of disinformation.
“At no point did Dr. Jonathan speak to any journalist on the forthcoming 2027 elections,” the message reads.
