2023: Buhari’s Aide ‘Confirms’ Jonathan’s Defection To APC

President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Bashir Ahmad has all but confirmed the defection of the former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Bashir in a tweet on Thursday morning while responding to those who questioned his earlier prediction that Goodluck Jonathan would defect to the ruling party said he knows what others don’t know.

He added that not everything is executed on social media.

Following the rejection of the presidential form from the Fulani group, many Nigerians had doubted the possibility of Goodluck Jonathan joining the All Progressives Congress Party.

Bashir tweeted: “When I shared the news of former President Jonathan joining our party, his uninformed supporters insulted me saying it can never happen even in the wildest dream”.

“They should know that we know something they don’t know and not everything is planned and executed on social media”.

It would be recalled that Jonathan became Nigeria’s president under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He, however, lost his second term bid to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
