Former federal lawmaker Shehu Sani has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan not to contest in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Sani said Jonathan’s former party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is no longer united, noting that some members are endorsing President Bola Tinubu.
Sani said, “Each time there is an election, the name of Jonathan comes up, but it is his volition to contest, but I advise him not to do that. The reason is very simple: the PDP he used to know is not the PDP now.”
He added that Jonathan “shouldn’t waste his time” on a divided party.

Sani also commented on the new opposition coalition, arguing that its members are not ideologically different from President Bola Tinubu.
He stated, “We are in a democracy, and it is within the right and ambit of our democratic experiment or law to have an opposition that will give an alternative, but if their only cause for power is to remove Tinubu without providing any alternative to governance and his style, then, they have no agenda.”
According to Sani, the coalition members are “not ideologically and philosophically different from the programmes which the Tinubu administration is prosecuting.” He added that
“During their campaigns and in their dear lives, you can see those liberal values of devaluation and removal of subsidy and some other party.”
