2027: Jonathan set to run on PDP platform

The decision to use the PDP followed extensive deliberation over where his chances were brighter in returning to power.

There are said to be various groups, including the Goodluckan Movement, ready to pay the N100 million nominations forms for the former President before the Tuesday deadline.

Other notable groups backing him are the Coalition for Jonathan, the Goodies Movement, northern based The New Nigeria, TNN, the Almajiri Network, Arewa for Good Governance, the Northern Youth Alliance for Good Governance, Northern Coalition for Goodluck Jonathan, the Arewa for Better Government and the North Youth Progressive Movement.

The PDP spokesman, Barrister Ini Ememobong, confirmed that Dr. Jonathan had earlier in the year fulfilled his online registration with the PDP and dispelled the swirling rumours of his political party.

It will be recalled that in 2022, a Northern almajiri group obtained a N100 million APC form for President Goodluck Jonathan, which made the headlines, but which he later disowned and the form was never submitted.

The case will determine whether Jonathan has any chance of challenging the incumbent and returning to Aso Rock.
