Presidency Mocks PDP's Proposal for Jonathan's 2027 Candidacy, Citing Lack of New Offerings
The Presidency responded to the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) suggestion of former President Goodluck Jonathan contesting in 2027, stating that Jonathan has nothing new to offer Nigerians after his six-year tenure. Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga dismissed the idea of Jonathan running on the PDP platform, calling it absurd and cautioning against premature election campaigns.
The Presidency warned Jonathan to be wary of aligning with the opposition against President Bola Tinubu. This exchange comes amidst political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 elections, with the Presidency emphasizing the need for substantial progress over past administrations.
