Jonathan Cleared For PDP 2027 Ticket
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has been cleared by the screening committee of the Tanimu Turaki-led PDP faction backed by Seyi Makinde ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The screening committee approved Jonathan as the sole presidential aspirant under the group, strengthening speculation about his possible return to active presidential politics.
The development followed the party’s internal screening exercise.
The Makinde-backed faction has continued preparations for its primaries amid ongoing leadership disputes within the Peoples Democratic Party.
Party loyalists described the clearance as part of efforts to reposition the group before the next election.
Jonathan’s clearance is expected to fuel fresh political debate as different camps within the opposition continue realignments ahead of the 2027 race.
