The Middle Belt Progressive Forum has expressed readiness to purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms of any political party for ex-President Goodluck Jonathan should he decide to join the 2023 presidential race
Paul Agada, convener of the forum, in a statement issued on Tuesday, said Under Jonathan, jobs were created for youths and the agricultural sector blossomed.
According to him: “Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is a man of peace who has demonstrated in times past that he does not place his personal ambition over the peace and stability of the country,”
“This rare quality has seen him gain recognition as a peacemaker and key negotiator in conflicts across the African continent.
