Jonathan Fully Eligible for 2027 Presidency – Cousin

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is legally and constitutionally qualified to contest the 2027 presidential election, his cousin Azibaola Robert has said. Azibaola, a lawyer and former pro-democracy activist, made the statement in response to recent comments by senior legal figures, including Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo (SAN) and human rights lawyer Professor Chidi Odinkalu, who questioned Jonathan’s eligibility.
