Why PDP Is Considering Jonathan Ahead Of Peter Obi For 2027

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is reportedly considering former President Goodluck Jonathan as a potential candidate for the 2027 presidential election, ahead of former Vice President Peter Obi. While neither Jonathan nor Obi has confirmed or denied this move, Obi has publicly stated his readiness to serve only one term if given the opportunity.

This promise has reportedly influenced many power brokers within the PDP. A senior party source revealed that Jonathan's appeal lies in his constitutional limit on tenure, which could sway the party's decision in his favor.

The source also highlighted Jonathan's previous pledge to serve only one term if he were to win. This development indicates a potential shift in the party's strategy for the upcoming election.
