Former Minister of Information and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP stalwart, Professor Jerry Gana has said that former President Goodluck Jonathan will contest the 2027 presidential election on the party’s platform.
He disclosed this to journalists at the sideline of the PDP State congress in Minna weekend, stressing that the party was ready to return Dr. Jonathan as next Nigeria’s president.
He said, “In 2015, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan said his ambition was not worth the blood of Nigerians. After him, another President ruled for eight years and now another has ruled for two years. Nigerians have seen the difference and the difference is very clear. Nigerians are now asking us to bring back our friend, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
“I can confirm that Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will contest the presidential election in 2027 as PDP candidate and you will vote for him to return as President again.”
He said the party members were democratic, hence they believed that democracy must reflect the will of the people to freely choose whom they want.
On whether there were chances for the main opposition party considering its internal crisis, he said that, “the PDP has tremendous opportunity in 2027 because it is truly a grassroots party, the founding fathers
convened a consultative conference in Abuja and addressed all the issues.”
