Ayodele speaks on 2027 election
He said:
“This one is very important to both the opposition and ruling party. Donald Trump is planning to use Jonathan against you Tinubu (in the 2027 election). Take it or you don’t take it. Watch out for this. He is desperate to use Jonathan.

Jonathan's possible return
Legit.ng reports that on Monday, August 25, the national executive committee (NEC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) resolved to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the south while retaining the national chairmanship in the north.
Southern Nigeria has three zones: south-west, south-south, and south-east. The last PDP president from the South was Jonathan of Bayelsa state in the south-south geopolitical zone, who served until 2015.
Jonathan assumed office in 2010 after Umaru Yar’Adua’s death, won the 2011 election, and lost re-election to late Muhammadu Buhari (APC) in 2015.
There are speculations in some quarters that the PDP may be courting Jonathan for a return bid in the 2027 presidential election. The former president has also been linked to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with a report in August claiming he is holding talks with the party.
Amid the strong rumours, Jonathan has remained silent.
