Presidency Welcomes Jonathan To 2027 Race
The Presidency has welcomed former President Goodluck Jonathan to the 2027 Presidential race.
There have been speculations that the former President is planning to stage a comeback.
On Sunday, former Minister of Information and Orientation, Professor Jerry Gana, said Jonathan would contest the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking to journalists shortly after the PDP Congress in Minna, Niger State, at the weekend ,Gana said Nigerians had experienced two other leaders after
“In 2015, former President Goodluck Jonathan said his ambition was not worth the blood of Nigerians. After him, another President ruled for eight years, and now another has ruled for two years.
“Nigerians have seen the difference, and the difference is very clear. Nigerians are now asking us to bring back our friend, former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“I can confirm that Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will contest the presidential election in 2027 as PDP candidate, and we should be prepared to vote for him to return as President again,” he had said.
Responding in a statement on Monday, Bayo Onanuga, Presidential spokesman, welcomed Jonathan to the race, but said “Nigerians would remember his dismal record.”
