About this episode
More than a decade after leaving office, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is once again becoming a major topic in Nigeria’s political conversation.
From social media campaigns to growing public debates, some Nigerians say the country needs Jonathan’s leadership style back, while others believe Nigeria should focus on new political alternatives instead of returning to former leaders.
But are these calls truly widespread among Nigerians… or simply driven by nostalgia and frustration with current realities?
In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we examine the growing calls for Jonathan’s return, what Nigerians really think about it, and whether such a comeback is politically realistic.
