Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti, daughter of popular Afro Beat legend, Fela Kuti on Tuesday stated that former President Goodluck Jonathan is now seeking support from people who brought him down in 2015.
Jonathan lost the 2015 election to President Muhammadu Buhari. It is widely believed that at that time, the All Progressives Congress (APC) worked with some governors and chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to cause him to lose the election.
Following his defeat, the APC government condemned the former President and his administration at every opportunity.
There are, however, claims that the ruling party is working on convincing Goodluck Jonathan to contest for the 2023 presidency.
If he yields to the intense pressure, he will only be in government for 4 years, having already served a 4-year term.
On Tuesday, Omoyeni Anikulapo-Kuti stated that Jonathan did not have a good public relations team to project his achievements while in office.
While speaking on a Channels TV programme, Yeni said Jonathan achieved a lot during his tenure despite his areas of failure.
Yeni said, “He didn’t have good PR. There are a lot of things that he did that we didn’t hear about. This railway line that he did that Amaechi finished, he started it, agriculture, he had Adesina then but he didn’t have good PR. He did roads, and power amongst others.
“I am not saying he was a good president or a bad president, I’m not even judging him. This present government used that against him and brought him down. When they brought him down, what did he do? He left with integrity. People are the ones hailing him now that he has no business going back there cos when he was there, we abused him.
“We cannot say there was no fault in his government, we cannot. The people that he wants to go and stand on their back to become president again are the same people that brought him down.”
