PDP Speaks On Alleged Invite To Jonathan To Run In 2027 Presidential Election On Its Platform

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed reports claiming it invited former President Goodluck Jonathan to run in the 2027 presidential election on its platform.

In an interview with BBC Hausa, the PDP’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, clarified that the party had not offered its presidential ticket to Jonathan.

He said, “The report that PDP has issued its presidential ticket to former President Goodluck Jonathan or invited him to contest the 2027 presidential election is not true.

“What happened is this: I had an interview with a journalist where we discussed some issues. But in the course of the interview, he mentioned President Jonathan, asking about our opinion of him, because there are reports that he is being urged to run for the presidency.

“I responded by saying that he (Jonathan) is eligible to contest the election, because he is a Nigerian and has the right to do that by the provision of the law, and he still has one more term left. So, there is nothing wrong about him contesting the presidential election because he is eligible in the face of the law.”

He further stated that the PDP had already done enough for Jonathan, and as a member of their party, there was no chance they would try to woo him.

“It wasn’t long ago that his wife said nothing would make her husband run for the presidency, that he didn’t leave behind or forget anything in the Villa for people to think that he’d come back to contest the position again. How then can we consider him. Ticket is given to someone who has shown interest.”
