As the agents of the Peoples Democratic Party mount pressure on former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election on the party’s platform, will the former president trust those that allegedly betrayed him in 2015 and throw his hat in the ring? Ejiofor Alike asks
With the allegations and counter allegations of betrayals that trailed the defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan by the late President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election, Nigerians are anxiously waiting for the former president’s formal response to the invitation by the agents of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for him to vie for the ticket of the party and run for the presidency in the 2027 general election.
A chieftain of the PDP and Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro last Tuesday confirmed that Jonathan; ex-Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, and the Oyo State Governor, Mr. Seyi Makinde, were being persuaded by top members of the PDP to join the 2027 presidential race on the platform of the PDP.
