He, however, said the former president was free to join the APC but should dismiss the notion of becoming the party’s presidential candidate in 2023.
‘I am not saying Jonathan can’t join APC but he can’t be president under APC in 2023.
‘I’m not saying Jonathan can’t be president but it can never be under APC in 2023 because some people are on the queue already,’ he said.
