According to Daily Post, GEJ said he has been receiving calls from people across Nigeria to run in 2019.
The former President said this while addressing some of his kinsmen who paid him a courtesy visit at his country home in Otuoke, Bayelsa state.
Reports also say chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been calling on GEJ to become the party’s flag bearer in 2019.
