Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Taminu Turaki held a meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan this Friday to discuss the upcoming 2027 general elections. Reports indicate that this specific PDP faction previously named Jonathan as their presidential nominee in his absence. However, the former president was not in attendance during the event where his nomination was officially confirmed.
Although the faction has positioned him as their candidate, Jonathan has not officially confirmed his intention to participate in the 2027 contest. Following a May 7 demonstration where supporters gathered at his Abuja office to encourage a presidential bid, Jonathan stated he would engage in broad consultations before finalizing his decision. He has remained silent on the matter since that time. As of now, the specific outcomes of this recent meeting remain undisclosed.
