Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi says, the presence of former President Goodluck Jonathan in the race for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), will be another wonder of the world.
The governor said this on Tuesday while addressing State House Correspondents, after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to present him a, “Thank you” letter from Southeast leaders, following his recent visit to Ebonyi State.
He said it would be difficult for the ruling party to campaign with Jonathan as its presidential candidate.
He said even though there have been denials regarding the former President’s rumored move to the APC if he eventually joins the ruling party, it would be material for the Guinness Book of Records.

The governor wondered how the APC would reconcile its policies and promises, with those of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), under which Jonathan was President.
Governor Umahi said he left the PDP in 2020, based on the injustice that was meted out to the people of the region, by not giving a Southeastern the Presidential ticket.
On what would be his reaction, if the APC eventually fails to give the Southeast its Presidential ticket, the Ebonyi Governor explained that he is confident that the party will give the ticket to a Southeastern candidate.
He called on all Nigerians not to vote for politicians who will make empty promises, but one who will fix the nation’s challenges.
