2027: PDP leaders disagree over Jonathan, Obi, Makinde
The 2027 presidential race within the People's Democratic Party (PDP) is causing rifts among party leaders, with disagreements over potential candidates. A committee was inaugurated ahead of the 2025 national convention to determine the party's future and flagbearer for the 2027 election.
Speculation surrounds figures like Goodluck Jonathan, Peter Obi, and Seyi Makinde as potential contenders. While some believe Jonathan could challenge Bola Ahmed Tinubu, others push for Obi, citing his influence and strategic value.
However, the party's National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, dismissed claims of wooing back Jonathan and Obi, emphasizing the need for a serious and qualified leader. The party faces internal divisions and must reconcile differences before the upcoming election.
Despite endorsements for Jonathan, concerns about internal unity and strategic decision-making persist within the PDP.
