Goodluck Jonathan to Launch 2027 Presidential Bid, Likely Clash with Peter Obi

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is poised to re-enter Nigeria’s presidential race ahead of the 2027 elections. He has hinted at a formal declaration as early as Friday after a youth group urged him to contest. Sources close to the former president say he will consult widely before confirming his decision. Political observers expect Jonathan to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress. That move could set up a direct contest with Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, who recently defected to the same party.
