The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan to focus on enjoying his retirement instead of returning to active politics. The party noted that Jonathan had served Nigeria at the highest level and should allow the younger generation to take charge of leadership.

According to Lagos APC, the idea of Jonathan returning to contest in 2027 is unnecessary and would only distract from the progress the nation needs. Party members stressed that Nigeria requires leaders who can bring fresh ideas, rather than recycling former presidents.

The statement has stirred reactions among political observers, with some agreeing that Jonathan should rest from politics, while others believe he still has a role to play in Nigeria’s democracy. The debate continues as 2027 elections gradually take shape.
