On Sunday, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan visited the Aso Rock Villa for a private, closed-door session with President Bola Tinubu. Official details regarding their discussion remain undisclosed, as no formal comments followed the encounter.
This meeting occurs as rumors circulate regarding a possible bid by Jonathan for the 2027 presidential election. Previously, the Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party claimed on May 30 that they had submitted Jonathan’s credentials to the Independent National Electoral Commission as their chosen candidate.
Despite these claims, the electoral body did not include Jonathan on the final list of 19 presidential candidates published this past Saturday. While the specific intent of his conversation with President Tinubu remains unconfirmed, observers suggest it could be linked to the upcoming election cycle.
