The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has refuted claims that it is courting former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election under its banner.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Ibrahim Abdullahi, made this clarification during an interview with BBC Hausa. He emphasized that the party has neither issued its presidential ticket to Jonathan nor invited him to join the race.
Abdullahi stated, “The report that PDP has issued its presidential ticket to former President Goodluck Jonathan or invited him to contest the 2027 presidential election is false. What happened was this: I had an interview with a journalist who asked for my opinion on Jonathan, given reports suggesting he is being urged to run for the presidency.”https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/12/presidential-ticket-pdp-denies-wooing-jonathan-for-2027-p-residency/amp/
