Although the purpose of the visit has not been officially disclosed, reports suggest it may be connected to Obi’s ongoing political consultations ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Meanwhile, Jonathan has responded to comments made by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar regarding his time in office.

Atiku, during a live television interview, described Jonathan as “inexperienced,” saying it contributed to challenges during his presidency.

He said, “I know Goodluck Jonathan very well. He is a decent young man, but also inexperienced, and I believe that contributed to his inability to manage the affairs of the country, particularly when he was faced with challenges.”

Responding at the 2025 Association of Retired Career Ambassadors of Nigeria awards ceremony in Abuja on Monday, Jonathan said no leader can claim to have governed without making mistakes.

He maintained that he gave his best while in office and stood by his record as president.

Jonathan said: “Not too long ago, a very senior politician said, ‘Oh, Jonathan was too young and probably that’s why he made mistakes.’

“If I made mistakes, yes, nobody who becomes a governor or a president will say you did not make mistakes. Even when you promote yourself to the level of a god, you become a deity.

“All human beings must make mistakes. I became president in 2010 at the age of 53. I left in 2015 at the age of 58, and they say I was too young. Must it have been 100 years before I ran the affairs of the state?”

He reiterated that while no administration is perfect, he acted in the best interest of the country during his tenure.
