Tinubu vs Jonathan: Ex-President's Associates Challenged Ahead of 2027

Former presidential aspirant, Mathias Tsado, has urged Goodluck Jonathan to join the 2027 presidential race to challenge Bola Tinubu. Tsado, speaking on Channels TV, emphasized the need for Jonathan to reposition Nigeria.

This call comes after Atiku Abubakar's resignation from the PDP, leaving the party divided on its 2027 presidential candidate. Sources reveal that factions within the party are supporting different candidates, with some backing Peter Obi and others advocating for Jonathan.

The party has inaugurated an organizing committee for the 2025 national convention, chaired by governors Fintiri and Adeleke, to balance interests. Meanwhile, Jonathan and Obi have announced subsidies for kidney dialysis treatment, aiming to help millions of Nigerians access healthcare.

The push for Jonathan's candidacy intensifies amid these developments.
