Former President Goodluck Jonathan says he is confused about whom to support among the 12 aspirants seeking the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 election.

Jonathan said this while speaking at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt, during the presidential primary of the party.

He said many of the aspirants were eminently qualified to lead the country.

“I’m confused as to the one to pick among the aspirants. I know them very well and I can say they are all eminently qualified,” he said.

“We must select the next president that can bring Nigeria together. The delegates have to look at this critically before voting.

“Yes, we are in opposition but today we have the senate president and speaker. The number of governors have also increased. This shows we are the party to take over power.”
