Former President Goodluck Jonathan, Friday, said his intention to contest the 2023 presidential election was speculative.
Jonathan stated this when he paid a condolence visit to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa at the Government House in Asaba, over the recent death of Sir Okorie Okowa.
The ECOWAS special envoy pledged to continue to serve God, humanity, Africa and the world to the best of his ability and with all sense of commitment and sincerity.
According to him: “On the rumor of my interest in the 2023 presidential election, it was mere speculation.
“I will continue to serve God, humanity, Africa, and the world to the best of my ability and with all sense of commitment and sincerity.”
Jonathan was president from 2010 to 2015, losing the presidential election in 2015 to the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.
He also called for synergy among President Muhammadu Buhari, Governors, Security Chiefs and other stakeholders, insisting that such would de-escalate tension occasioned by the challenge of insecurity in the country.
