Jonathan or Obi? Top Ex-Gov Mentions Best Bet for PDP in 2027

Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has suggested that either former President Goodluck Jonathan or former Governor Peter Obi would be the best bet for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 presidential election. Lamido emphasized the need for the PDP to make a deliberate push to ensure the return of experienced leaders like Jonathan to lead the party.

He highlighted Jonathan's governance experience and ability to work with others as key strengths. This statement comes amidst reports of a potential return of former PDP members to the party in hopes of securing the presidential ticket for the 2027 election.

Meanwhile, Obi has also expressed the importance of opposition leaders coming together to challenge President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming election. The discussions around potential candidates and collaborations within the opposition parties signal a shift in the country's political landscape.

Governor Sani of Kaduna State also added that it would be difficult for Nigerian governors.
