Political aspirants for the Plateau governorship seat in 2023 may be facing an ‘unexpected’ opposition as a Dutchman has declared his gubernatorial intentions.
The aspirant, Wiebe Boer aka Yohanna Maigona, is a Dutchman who has over time naturalized and become a Nigerian.
Boer or Yohanna Maigona already has his campaign poster all over the internet even though his party, All for All Peoples Party is yet to be registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
According to PM News, Maigona has lived all his life in Jos and is said to be quite fluent in Hausa as he is in English.
Maigona is the CEO of a renewable energy company and was described by a publication in 2018 as a black man in white skin.
Meanwhile, the reasons former President Goodluck Jonathan has not declared his intention to join the presidential race have been revealed.

Addressing the demonstrators, Jonathan said that the political process is ongoing, adding that he can’t tell them if he would be declaring or not for the 2023 presidential race. Read more
