1 min read
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are trying to get former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election on its platform.
PDP’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, stated this while speaking with Punch.
Abdullahi claimed it would be a regrettable development if Jonathan chose another party for his presidential bid.

He revealed that the PDP had been eagerly awaiting the former president’s return for a second term, stressing the party’s continued connection to Jonathan’s political rise.
Abdullahi highlighted the party’s historical role in shaping Nigeria’s leadership, citing several notable figures who had emerged from the party.
“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,” he added.
The PDP chieftain urged Jonathan to heed the call to finish what he started within the party, and warned against the “hypocrisy of the All Progressives Congress.”
