Unveiled: The Hidden Motive Behind Tinubu's Delegation to Ooni for Meeting with Jonathan According to insider sources, the Ooni's meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan was primarily a fact-finding mission.

Accompanied by other delegates, the Ooni aimed to ascertain whether Jonathan has any intentions of running in the 2027 presidential election. This inquiry is considered crucial for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who seeks to counter the growing opposition from northern leaders by forging unity among the Southern states, a strategy essential for his reelection bid. Although Goodluck Jonathan has publicly stated that he has no interest in pursuing political roles, particularly the presidency, his wife, Patience Jonathan, has supported this sentiment. Nonetheless, former President Jonathan is reportedly facing pressure from northern political factions and interest groups who view him as a credible alternative to Tinubu's government, which is often criticized for its perceived ineptitude in addressing the numerous challenges faced by Nigeria, the most populous black nation in the world.
