LunagisthubPDP’s Big Move: Talks with Obi and Jonathan for 2027 Presidency
The revelation by Senator Abba Moro that talks are ongoing for Peter Obi and Goodluck Jonathan to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 presidential race has significant implications for Nigeria’s political landscape.
The possible return of these two high-profile figures could bolster the PDP’s chances in the 2027 elections. Both Obi and Jonathan have shown strong appeal to different segments of the Nigerian electorate, and their presence in the PDP could help the party regain power.
The PDP’s decision to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South adds another layer of complexity to the situation. This move could influence the party’s choice of candidate and potentially affect the negotiations with Obi and Jonathan.
Peter Obi’s recent alignment with key opposition figures in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition and his expressed interest in another presidential bid suggest that he is still keen on running for office. His potential return to the PDP could depend on various factors, including the party’s chances of winning and the level of support he can garner.
Goodluck Jonathan’s potential return to the PDP would also be significant, given his experience as president and his influence in certain parts of the country. His involvement could help the party tap into his network and support base.
As the 2027 elections approach, the PDP will likely continue to engage with potential candidates and allies to strengthen its position. The outcome of these talks and the party’s eventual choice of candidate will be crucial in determining its chances of success.
What are your thoughts on this development? Do you think Obi and Jonathan joining the PDP would be a game-changer in the 2027 elections
