A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) reportedly aligned with Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has denied claims that there are plans to affirm former President Goodluck Jonathan as the party’s presidential candidate.
The group dismissed ongoing speculations surrounding Jonathan’s possible emergence, insisting that no official decision or agreement has been reached within the party regarding the 2027 presidential race.
According to party insiders, discussions about potential aspirants remain premature as the PDP continues internal consultations and political realignments ahead of future elections.
The clarification comes amid increasing rumours and political calculations involving prominent opposition figures and possible coalition arrangements.
Political observers say the PDP continues to face internal divisions and competing interests as different factions position themselves ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Supporters of former President Jonathan and other leading political figures have continued to speculate about possible returns, alliances and candidacy options within opposition politics.
Analysts believe uncertainty surrounding party leadership, zoning arrangements and presidential ambitions could shape future dynamics within the PDP.
The Wike-backed faction also stressed the need for party unity and internal stability as preparations for future political contests gradually intensify.
The development has generated fresh reactions across political circles as Nigeria’s major parties continue strategic consultations ahead of 2027.
