There has been speculation in some quarters about a possible return to electoral politics by Jonathan, but the former president has not made any public statement on the matter.
Jonathan’s visit comes months after his last meeting with Tinubu on November 29, 2025, shortly after he was evacuated from Guinea-Bissau during a political crisis. At the time, he was leading an election observation mission under the West African Elders Forum.
In recent years, Jonathan has remained active in regional diplomacy, participating in election observation and mediation efforts across countries such as Mali, The Gambia and Liberia.
