PDP Presidential Ticket: Wike’s Men Are Against Jonathan, They Are Pushing For Peter Obi – Source

The PDP is reportedly facing internal division over who should be its presidential candidate for the upcoming election. While some party members are pushing for former President Goodluck Jonathan, others are backing Peter Obi.

The division is said to be fueled by strategic calculations, with some believing that Jonathan could pose a serious challenge to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while others see Obi as a potential president who could hand power to the North in 2031. Jonathan, who lost to the APC in 2015, is still considering a return to office, while Obi has pledged to serve only one term if elected in 2023.

The internal division is seen as a reflection of a deeper battle for control within the party.
