Group Rallies Support for Goodluck Jonathan, Calls Him Nigeria’s Best Hope

The Bring Back Our Goodluck (BBOG) movement has rallied support for former President Goodluck Jonathan, describing him as Nigeria’s best hope ahead of the 2027 general elections.

At a press conference held on Sunday at Mumbayya House, Kano, the National Coordinator of BBOG, Dr. Grema Kyari, said opposition leaders must unite behind Jonathan to rescue Nigeria from worsening poverty, insecurity, and economic hardship.

Kyari specifically urged Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Nasir El-Rufai, Rauf Aregbesola, Rotimi Amaechi, and Senator David Mark to put aside their personal ambitions and back Jonathan as a consensus candidate.

He stressed that the failure of opposition parties to unite in 2023 gave the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) an easy victory and warned that such disunity must not be repeated in 2027.

Highlighting Jonathan’s leadership record, the BBOG coordinator said only the former president has the ability to restore stability and national unity. He also cited global examples of political comebacks, including Donald Trump in the United States and John Mahama in Ghana, as proof that Jonathan’s return is possible.

I Will Restore Port Harcourt City to Its Former Glory - ADP Candidate, Owuru Kenneth

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) Chairmanship candidate for Port Harcourt City LGA, Owuru Kenneth Nyeche, has pledged to restore the city to its former glory and reposition it as the “Garden City” of Nigeria.

Speaking during a campaign rally held in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Owuru Kenneth Nyeche said his administration, if elected, would embark on a comprehensive Green Initiative aimed at restoring the city’s natural beauty, boosting sanitation, and encouraging sustainable development.

“I will restore Port Harcourt to its former glory. This city is proudly called the Garden City, under my leadership, it will return to that name. We will begin a Green Initiative that will encourage cleanliness, plant more trees, beautify our streets, and keep our environment safe and healthy. A clean city will attract investors, encourage businesses, and create opportunities for our young people,” he declared.

He further noted that his government would prioritize waste management, drainage systems, and urban renewal projects to combat flooding, reduce pollution, and make Port Harcourt more livable.

“We cannot talk about a great city when refuse litters our streets and when businesses struggle under poor infrastructure. My administration will work hand in hand with residents, community leaders, and entrepreneurs to create a modern, clean, and vibrant Port Harcourt that works for everyone,” Owuru Kenneth assured.

The ADP candidate Owuru Kenneth also highlighted plans to support local entrepreneurs, create jobs, and improve security, stressing that economic growth thrives in an environment that is clean, green, and secure.

The campaign rally, which held across major streets and markets in Port Harcourt, witnessed a massive turnout of supporters who welcomed Nyeche and the ADP campaign team with chants of solidarity, signaling growing acceptance of the party’s message of change and renewal.

The Action Democratic Party (ADP) on Saturday unveiled Owuru Nyeche Kenneth as its candidate for the Port Harcourt City Local Government Area chairmanship seat in the forthcoming Rivers State Local Government Elections.

Speaking during the unveiling, the Chairman of ADP in Rivers State, Kendrick Christian, declared that the party is fully prepared for the polls. According to him, the only way ADP could lose is through electoral malpractice.

“The ADP is fully ready for this election. We have the grassroots support, we have the people, and we have the right candidate. The only way we can lose is if the election is rigged. But let me sound a note of warning, any attempt to subvert the will of the people will not only be resisted but will also plunge the state into unnecessary crisis. We call on INEC and security agencies to ensure a free, fair, and transparent process,” Christian said.

Also speaking, the ADP Publicity Secretary, Goodluck Azunwena, described the party’s candidate as the right choice for the people of Port Harcourt.

“Our candidate is young, vibrant, and entrepreneurial. He has the capacity, the energy, and the innovative mindset needed to take Port Harcourt to greater heights. This election is about giving power back to the people, and Owuru Kenneth Nyeche represents the future we all desire,” Azunwena stated.

Meanwhile, ADP’s candidate, Owuru Nyeche Kenneth assured residents of Port Harcourt that he would restore the city’s lost glory if elected.

“Port Harcourt deserves leadership that truly works for the people. My mission is to prioritize infrastructure, create jobs, and improve security. Beyond that, I am committed to restoring Port Harcourt to the ‘Garden City’ it was once proudly known as.

"We will make our city clean, green, and beautiful again, an environment where businesses thrive, families feel safe, and young people have opportunities to succeed. Together, we can rebuild a Port Harcourt that we will all be proud of,” he declared.

The ADP campaign team later moved across different parts of Port Harcourt City, including major streets, markets, and residential areas, where they were warmly received by enthusiastic residents.

Supporters lined the roads, chanting solidarity songs and pledging their commitment to vote for the party. The warm reception, the party noted, was a clear indication that the people of Port Harcourt are yearning for fresh leadership and a new direction.
