The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reportedly settled for former President Goodluck Jonathan as its sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
The development is already generating reactions across political circles as consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections continue.
Supporters of the move believe Jonathan remains one of the few politicians with nationwide acceptance and the experience needed to reposition the party.
Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015 and is still widely respected for conceding defeat peacefully after the 2015 presidential election.
Although there has been no official confirmation yet from Peoples Democratic Party or Jonathan himself, the report has sparked widespread debate online.
While some Nigerians have welcomed the possibility of his return, others believe the PDP should focus on producing younger candidates ahead of 2027.
More details are expected to emerge as political consultation
