Following severe hardship and hunger as a result of policies introduced by President Bola Tinubu, some Nigerians have begged former Nigerian President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to come to their rescue.
Some Nigerians urged him to emulate the US President-elect, Donald Trump and make a political comeback in 2027.
Recall that Trump, who lost his re-election bid in 2020, is set to return to the White House after winning the just concluded presidential election in the US.
Trump of the Republican Party, who was the US President from 2016 to 2020, beat the incumbent vice president, Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party, to emerge as the 47th president of the US.
The development was termed one of the biggest political comebacks in the history of America.
Goodluck Jonathan took to his X handle on Sunday to congratulate the US President-elect, describing the victory as impressive.
He wrote, “Dear President Trump, I extend my warmest felicitations to you on your election as the 47th President of the United States.
“Your impressive victory is a testament to the American people’s faith in your leadership and vision for the future.
“I am optimistic that your presidency will not only advance the American dream but also promote the cause for global peace, stability and progress. Please accept my heartfeltcongratulations once again.”
However, Nigerians stormed the comment section of the post to demand his return to the Aso Rock, apparently in the 2027 election.
Some of the commenters urged Jonathan, who also lost his re-election bid in 2015, to return to power and savage the nation from the economic hardship currently bedeviling the citizens.
Here are some of the comments as compiled by DAILY POST.

“@Mrklassiq_: “Look at the way Donald Trump fought with Elon to retrieve America from those wolves , but you will be doing “if you can beat them, join them.” Put your house in order and retrieve Nigeria. You owe”.
@Knightsurge211: “Sir, you still have one more term to serve Nigeria. Nigerians will massively vote you back in. It will be too big for Inec and Mahmood to rig. God bless you, and God bless Nigeria.”
@TheodoreBassil: “See your mate going back to save their country. Imagine you came back to save our country. But ‘mbanu’, you flee like a minor. GEJ, no matter how you avoid this, the truth remains that your fear brought us here.”
@Victorviri: “Please @GEJonathan … Learn from Donald Trump’s victory. Nigeria has had their shares of bad luck since you left and things are getting worse. If Peter Obi can’t do it, you can. We need a Saviour, this suffering is too much.”
@manueldacreator: “You owe Nigerians and the entire youths the mandate to run again for the president of Nigeria. Please, sir save us please.”
