Mustapha, who made this call in a statement on Sunday in Lagos, said Jonathan should heed the call to run for the office of the president again.
On Sunday, the President of the Nigeria Rescue Mission Organisation and former President of Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO), Dr Jibril Mustapha, appealed to former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest 2027 presidential election.
Mustapha, who made this call in a statement on Sunday in Lagos, said Jonathan should heed the call to run for the office of the president again.
“As the nation prepares for the 2027 elections, the Nigeria Rescue Mission Organisation believes that now is the time for all stakeholders to come together and support a candidate who can genuinely represent the interests of all Nigerians.
“We urge former President Goodluck Jonathan to consider this call and to step forward as a candidate who can unite our country and lead us towards a brighter future.
“This appeal comes in light of the numerous challenges currently facing Nigeria, including economic hardship, insecurity, unemployment, and rampant banditry,” Mustapha said.
According to him, there is the urgent need for a leader who embodies integrity, inclusivity, and a commitment to national unity.
Mustapha added: “Nigeria is at a crossroads. We are grappling with significant issues that threaten our stability and progress.
“We need a leader who can bring all Nigerians together, regardless of their background.”
He said that the former Nigerian leader, during his tenure, demonstrated a commitment to democratic values and governance that prioritised the welfare of all citizens.
According to him, the group believes Jonathan has the vision and experience necessary lead Nigeria.
