SEE What NIGERIANS Begged Goodluck Jonathan To Do After Trump Won US Election
Following the recent victory of Donald Trump in the United States, a cross- section of Nigerians is urging former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to consider a political comeback in the 2027 elections.
The calls come as Trump, after losing his re- election bid in 2020, made a historic return to the White House, securing the 47th presidency of the U. S. by defeating incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris. This unprecedented political comeback has inspired Nigerians to suggest a similar return for Jonathan, who lost his re- election bid in 2015.

Taking to social media on Sunday, Jonathan congratulated Trump on his victory, calling it ” impressive” and a sign of the American people’ s confidence in his vision. ” Dear President Trump, ” Jonathan wrote on his X handle, ” I extend my warmest felicitations to you on your election as the 47th President of the United States. Your impressive victory is a testament to the American people’ s faith in your leadership and vision for the future. I am optimistic that your presidency will not only advance the American dream but also promote the cause of global peace, stability, and progress. ”
Soon after Jonathan’ s post, Nigerians flooded the comments section, urging him to follow Trump’ s lead and consider a return to the Aso Rock in 2027. Many expressed nostalgia for Jonathan’ s administration, describing the current economic challenges facing the country and appealing to him as a potential savior in a time of hardship.
@TheodoreBassil wrote, ” See your mate going back to save their country. Imagine if you came back to save Nigeria. But ‘ mbanu, ‘ you fled like a minor. GEJ, no matter how you avoid this, the truth is that your fear brought us here. ”
@Victorviri added, ” Please @GEJonathan … Learn from Donald Trump’ s victory. Nigeria has had its share of bad luck since you left, and things are worsening. If Peter Obi can’ t do it, you can. We need a savior; this suffering is too much. ”
@manueldacreator summed it up, saying, ” You owe Nigerians and the entire youth the mandate to run again for the president of Nigeria. Please, sir, save us. ”
These comments reflect a widespread sentiment among Nigerians who view Jonathan’ s leadership favorably in hindsight, especially compared to the present economic difficulties. Many believe that Jonathan’ s return could provide relief from Nigeria’ s worsening economic and social challenges. The conversation has reignited discussions about Nigeria’ s leadership needs, as many citizens express frustration and disillusionment with current conditions.
