2027: Jonathan Doesn’t Need Your Counsel, Brother Tells Keyamo, Odinkalu

A brother of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Azibaola Robert, has blasted the minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo (SAN) and legal scholar, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, for opposing Jonathan’s speculated 2027 presidential ambition, saying he does not need their counsel.

Keyamo and Odinkalu had urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to hand its ticket to Jonathan, insisting that his return bid would face legal obstacles since he had already been sworn in twice as president.

But in a statement issued on Monday, Robert dismissed their concerns, stressing that Jonathan’s eligibility was not in doubt and that he did not need unsolicited advice.

Robert, writing on his verified Facebook page, said: “Dear Festus Keyamo (SAN), Chidi Odinkalu (Prof.), I greet both of you. For the records, three of us are lawyers. We were all pro-democracy activists in the 90s, and I was a better activist than both of you combined.

“Rule No. 1: Do not offer legal advice where none is solicited. GEJ (PDP) has numerous, more cerebral, more experienced SANs at his disposal who give him sound, unblemished professional legal advice.

“Please note: GEJ is 100% constitutionally and legally qualified to contest, if he chooses to. If he decides not to yield to the overwhelming calls to run, it will not be because he is unqualified.

“Your unsolicited legal view is not of any concern to him and will never be. Don’t waste your precious time dwelling on this.

“Or should I schedule a meeting so you can be properly educated on the subsisting court judgments on the matter — one of which your party, APC, was a party to?”

Robert added, in a lighter tone: “This is not a confirmation that GEJ is running, though.”
