Social media has reacted to a poster of former President Goodluck Jonathan with the inscription “GEJ Is Coming Back”.
The poster which surfaced online is suggesting that he may contest for the presidency in the 2023 elections.
Although the poster was done by a faceless group known as the National Agenda for Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, which claimed their aim is for a better Nigeria come 2023, it has, however, been greeted with mixed reactions from social media users, some of who immediately disapproved of the alleged ambition.
But some people who reacted were sympathetic to Jonathan’s possible comeback.
Reacting to the poster, @popcorrnn._ wrote on Instagram page, “Yesss oh, he should please come back. He had a far better government than Buhari, & it took for him to go for us to realize it, he should please come back.”
Another Instagram user, _james_oluwa wrote, “It’s better to vote for him than any other candidate!! The Angel you know before is better than the one u just meet.”

However, it was a contrary opinion from some Nigerians, who said the former President would simply dent his image if he ran for the presidency again.
One of such users is @icobenson who said, “He will fail woefully, he didn’t maximize the opportunity given to him initially, so what does he have to offer this time absolutely NOTHING we need a fresh start. Soro Soke.”
shoes_by_shem opined: “This would be the most foolish move for him.”
Another user el_patron_wanz stated, “Dem wan package backwardness make e be like forwardness give us.”
