Atiku’s Ex-Aide Warns Tinubu of Tough Challenge if Jonathan Contests in 2027

Former spokesman for President Atiku Abubakar, Segun Sowunmi, stated that President Bola Tinubu would face a tougher challenge if former President Goodluck Jonathan decides to contest in the 2027 presidential election. Sowunmi described Jonathan as a potential wild card for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) due to his support in the North and Middle Belt.

Speculation arose about Jonathan eyeing the PDP presidential ticket, although he has not declared his intentions yet. Sowunmi emphasized the legitimacy issues Jonathan may face and the impact of his potential candidacy on the election.
