The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has formally extended an invitation to former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election under the party's banner, according to Punch Newspaper. This development comes as speculation mounts about Jonathan's potential candidacy.
Jonathan's presidency, which spanned from 2010 to 2015, was marked by significant economic growth and infrastructural development. Despite losing the 2015 election to Muhammadu Buhari, Jonathan has maintained a high level of popularity among Nigerians.
The PDP's Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, emphasized the party's eagerness to have Jonathan back on board. Abdullahi cautioned Jonathan against joining forces with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing the party's previous criticism of Jonathan during his presidency.
Jonathan's potential candidacy has sparked widespread interest, with many Nigerians eager to see him return to politics. The PDP's invitation has also raised questions about the party's strategy for the 2027 election and whether Jonathan's candidacy would be enough to secure victory.
As the 2027 presidential election draws near, the PDP's invitation to Goodluck Jonathan has added a new layer of complexity to the political landscape. Jonathan's decision will undoubtedly have significant implications for the outcome of the election and the future of Nigerian politics.
