Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday joined the 2023 presidential race.
This ended months of speculations that Jonathan would contest for president in 2023 under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
A coalition of northern groups has purchased the N100 million APC Expression of Interest and Nominations forms on behalf of the former leader.
Jonathan, who led Nigeria between 2010 and 2015, is a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
President Muhammadu Buhari defeated Jonathan in keenly contested election in 2015.
