There have also been speculations that former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was aware of the plot to install Jonathan as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a reason he said he was going to fight dirty if it comes to it.
Already, permutations are ongoing on who will be the preferred choice if the 2023 contest comes down to Tinubu and Jonathan. In many of the polls on Twitter, Jonathan came top over Tinubu. But many others warned that he should not contest.

A tweet from @drpenking said: “#GEJisComing looks like a joke to me. This guy flushed a whole power of incumbency down the drain and delivered us to Buhari to torture us for 8 years. I blame him for everything Nigeria has been through. He can never be my president again.Who knows who he’ll deliver us to next?”
@ProNigeria1 added: “May we NEVER have the cluelessness of GEJ in Aso Rock again! #GEJIsComing to Otuoke, NOT Aso Rock! Never!.”
,@Paulzerina said: “#GEJisComing, for real? Tinubu, Atiku? Things have blown up. Insecurity is on the rise, loss of lives and hardship, which one should we talk about. One thing is paramount; we must not get it wrong come 2023; that will be a disaster that may be beyond repair.”
