2027 Election: Goodluck Jonathan Told Not to Contest, Reason Emerges
Legit.ng journalist Ridwan Adeola Yusuf has over 9 years of experience covering politics, elections, and governance in Nigeria.
FCT, Abuja - Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna, has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan not to recontest for presidency in the 2027 election.
Sani, who was a guest on Channels Television’s 'Sunday Politics' programme monitored by Legit.ng, said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Jonathan's known party, is no longer united.
Legit.ng reports that ahead of the 2027 election, talks of Jonathan’s return have gained momentum within political circles, especially with debate about a one-term Southern presidency and the emergence of the new African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition platform.
Speaking on the speculations, Sani urged Jonathan not to contest.
He 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.
“The PDP in the southwest is endorsing the president. Some members of the party are in the coalition. So, it is the party he used to know so he shouldn’t waste his time.”
