YED4GEJ 2023 described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s presidential candidate in the 2015 election as a true democrat, a nation builder, and a goal-oriented leader with integrity.
It further asserted:
“He has proven that he can sacrifice anything to ensure the unity, peace and development of our great nation Nigeria.
“We, as youths of this great nation after discovering the Nigeria problems and found the solution in Goodluck Jonathan, we are calling on all Nigerians including our political elites, present administration and religious leaders to join the call for the return of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and also join our #BringbackGEJ project."

In the statement signed by Omiloli and Daniel, the group promised to purchase Jonathan’s form in any party he chooses to flag from and fund his electioneering campaign entirely if he eventually expresses interest in the nation's seat of power.
Meanwhile, Jonathan had finally addressed the 2023 presidential topic. Jonathan stated this when he paid a condolence visit to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa at Government House, Asaba, over the recent demise of Sir Okorie Okowa.
He said the rumour was a mere speculation according to a statement sent to Legit.ng by the Delta state government.
