Keyamo Warns PDP on Legal Risks of Fielding Jonathan or Obi in 2027 Presidential Election
Minister Festus Keyamo advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against fielding either Goodluck Jonathan or Peter Obi as presidential candidates in 2027. Keyamo warned of legal risks, citing constitutional provisions that could bar Jonathan from contesting due to previous terms as president.
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria cautioned Keyamo to focus on official duties rather than engaging in premature election discussions. Keyamo highlighted potential consequences for the opposition if they relied on Jonathan or Obi, suggesting a strategic disadvantage for the PDP in the upcoming elections.
The debate raised concerns about the party's decision-making process and the impact on its electoral prospects.
