2027: Why Jonathan is yet to accept PDP presidential nomination form – Umar Sani
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Sani, says former president Goodluck Jonathan is taking his time before publicly accepting or rejecting the party’s nomination form ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Sani made the claims on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television.
He stated that the issue of whether Jonathan is reluctant does not arise because he has been the president before.
The PDP stalwart, who noted that Jonathan wants to become president, stressed that there are obstacles along the way that he wants to clear before making his decision public.
“There is an eligibility case against Jonathan. Even though the court has dismissed the case, the people are adamant and they have gone ahead to appeal the judgment.
“Now, one thing must give way for another to thrive. Jonathan wants to become president. There are encumbrances that need to be cleared before he will express himself.
“So I won’t think there is any reluctance on his part. He is very determined to become president of Nigeria, but he is being very careful about the court case.
“So, as far as we are concerned, Jonathan is our candidate. We have put out his name, though he has not come out publicly to either accept or reject. I think he’s been very strategic. He’s taking his time,” the PDP chieftain said.
