A former governor of Edo State and senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan not to give in to pressure to contest the 2027 presidential election, warning that doing so could damage his political legacy.

Oshiomhole, who spoke on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, said that only Jonathan’s “enemies” would want him to recontest.

“I have a lot of respect for him. Now, how can Jonathan be a threat? We defeated him before when PDP was truly PDP. If a man had a PDP at his best, at his peak and he was defeated, I think only his enemy will push him to go into the race.

“There are other issues that may not be helpful to him. I think he has managed to demonstrate that out of power, you can be relevant and be at peace.” Punch
