Jonathan Touted as PDP’s Best Bet for 2027 Presidency

ABUJA, Nigeria (CHATNEWSTV) — Former President Goodluck Jonathan has been described as the most suitable candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 presidential election, according to Ibrahim Abdullahi, the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary.

Abdullahi, in a statement reported by Punch Nigeria, urged Jonathan to consider returning to the PDP to complete his tenure, emphasizing the party’s role in his political ascent.

“If Goodluck Jonathan is seriously considering running, we have been calling him to come back and complete his term,” Abdullahi said. “It will not be out of place, but if he runs with another political party, it will expose the hypocrisy within the APC.”

He highlighted Jonathan’s legacy as a PDP leader and praised the party for nurturing political figures who have shaped Nigeria’s development.

“We’ve said this about Jonathan and our governors. Even the FCT minister is arguably the best performer in his role, and he is a product of PDP. El-Rufai, Okonjo-Iweala, Dora Akunyili, Obi Ezekwesili, Akinwunmi Adesina, Amina Mohammed… these are the pride of this country, and they are all products of the PDP,” Abdullahi said.

The PDP official also cautioned Jonathan against being swayed by recent praise from individuals and groups who had previously criticised his leadership.

“It’s crucial for him to remember how he was derided, criticised, and reduced to nothing by these same people. Now that they are suddenly calling him the messiah, he must not be swayed by their sudden affection. That would be unfortunate,” Abdullahi added.

Jonathan has yet to indicate his plans for 2027, but speculation continues to mount over his potential return to the political arena.
