Arguments for Jonathan’s Return

When asked about the impact of Jonathan entering a race already featuring prominent figures such as Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Omoyele Sowore, Agbedi emphasized that it would completely change the political atmosphere. The Bayelsa-born politician offered several reasons for this potential candidacy:

• Heightened Preparation: Agbedi maintains that Jonathan is currently more prepared for the presidency than ever before.

• A Call for Competence: He argued that in times of national crisis, a serious democracy should seek out a “competent, capable, tested and trusted” individual to lead.

• Public Sentiment: According to Agbedi, many Nigerians are suffering under the current All Progressives Congress (APC) administration and are looking toward Jonathan as a savior who can stabilize the country.

• Comparison to Past Administrations: Agbedi noted that following the eight-year tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari and three years under President Bola Tinubu, there is a growing desire among citizens for another four years of Jonathan’s leadership.
