2027: ‘Jonathan Is The Only One Who Can Influence Peter Obi Not To Run’ – Party Source

A party source has revealed that former President Goodluck Jonathan is the only person who can influence Peter Obi not to run in the 2027 elections. The source believes that Jonathan's potential entry into the race, possibly with former Kano State governor Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate, could significantly impact the political landscape.

Jonathan, who led Nigeria from 2010 to 2015, is seen as a unifying figure with broad acceptability across regional lines. Analysts suggest that a Jonathan-Kwankwaso ticket could bridge political divides and attract support from both PDP loyalists and opposition party members.

Additionally, a senior PDP figure highlighted the structural advantage of the northern political bloc in Nigerian elections.
