PDP Faces Storm Over 2027 Presidential Ticket Consideration

A fresh storm brews in the PDP over the consideration of Peter Obi, Goodluck Jonathan, and Seyi Makinde for the 2027 presidential ticket. North Gbenga, a presidential aspirant, cautioned against using Jonathan ahead of the primary.

The Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, mentioned the three Southern aspirants as possible flagbearers. However, the PDP Deputy National Legal Adviser, Okechukwu Osuoha, dismissed the names as mere speculation.

The party is engaging in internal discussions to select a candidate who can unite the party and challenge the ruling party in 2027. The upcoming national convention will be crucial in determining the party's flagbearer for the next general election.
