BREAKING: Goodluck Jonathan Cleared as Sole PDP Presidential Aspirant
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reportedly been cleared to contest as the sole presidential aspirant of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) by the screening committee of the Makinde-backed Turaki PDP group.
The development marks another major twist in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to reports, the screening committee approved Jonathan’s candidacy after completing its internal review process, positioning the former president as the group’s preferred aspirant.
The involvement of the faction linked to Seyi Makinde has further intensified discussions about shifting alliances and internal power dynamics within the PDP.
Jonathan, who previously served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015, continues to remain a significant figure in national politics, with supporters often calling for his return to active leadership.
Political observers say the latest development could reshape conversations within the opposition party and influence strategic alignments ahead of the next election cycle.
As reactions continue to emerge nationwide, attention is now focused on how the PDP and other political actors will navigate the growing competition and political maneuvering leading into 2027.
