The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), under the leadership of Taminu Turaki, has officially cleared former President Goodluck Jonathan as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections. The announcement was made on Tuesday by the party’s screening committee following its evaluation process.
Chairman of the screening committee and former Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu, confirmed Jonathan’s emergence after the exercise, signaling a significant development within the PDP as preparations for the upcoming elections intensify.
Meanwhile, PDP chieftain Umar Sani disclosed during an appearance on Trust TV that Jonathan had already purchased the party’s nomination form. According to Sani, this move demonstrates Jonathan’s clear intention to return to active partisan politics, adding that the former president is expected to publicly submit his completed forms soon.
