Jonathan Faces Tinubu in the Most Challenging Election

Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s former president (2010‑2015), has become a key figure opposing incumbent President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential race. While Jonathan is not a candidate himself, he is actively supporting the main opposition coalition—particularly former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi—thereby turning the election into one of the most fiercely contested in recent Nigerian history. His involvement adds significant political weight to the challenge against Tinubu’s ruling All Progressives Congress. Views Nigeria
