The group made the disclosure in a statement signed by its Director of Strategic Communications, Dr. Derek Omoleh.
The movement argued that Nigeria currently needs an experienced leader rather than “an apprentice” to navigate the ongoing economic and political challenges facing the country.
In the statement, the group painted a nostalgic picture of the Jonathan administration, describing it as a time when Nigeria was “the pride of Africa” with the largest economy, a hub for global investment, and where dreams were affordable.
“We remember when Nigeria was the pride of Africa — the largest economy, a hub for global investment, and a place where dreams were affordable. That was the ‘Jonathan era,’” the statement read.
“From farmers in the North to traders in the South, the message is universal: ‘Bring back the stability of the Jonathan years.’ His return means a swift return to policies that benefit the masses instead of just the elites.”
The Goodluck Nigeria Movement described itself as being on a “national rescue mission” to restore a leader it called a symbol of Nigeria’s last period of true prosperity.
Dr. Omoleh called on well-meaning Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora to join the movement.
“Nigeria is suffering, and we cannot look away. The Goodluck Nigeria Movement is the voice of the hungry, the hope of the unemployed, and the protector of our democracy,” he said.
“We have chosen Dr. Goodluck Jonathan because he has nothing to prove but everything to offer. The movement starts today; the rescue is certain.”
The group further praised Jonathan’s ability to remain calm in times of division and highlighted his “Peace First” philosophy, referencing his famous declaration that “my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.”
