2027 Presidency: PDP Leaders Disagree over Jonathan, Peter Obi, Makinde
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing internal divisions as leaders disagree on potential presidential candidates for the 2027 election. Some leaders are in favor of former President Goodluck Jonathan, while others support former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi or Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde.
The factions within the party are reportedly aligned with different influential figures, with some arguing that Jonathan could pose a serious challenge to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The party recently inaugurated an organizing committee for the 2025 national convention, chaired by Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, in an effort to balance interests amid the intensifying debate.
The divisions within the party reflect a deeper battle for control, with predictions of a possible return to power for Jonathan in 2027.
