Umar Sani, a former presidential aide and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has announced that former President Goodluck Jonathan has acquired the party's presidential nomination form for the upcoming 2027 general elections. This development occurs amid a backdrop of increasing political activity and speculation regarding Jonathan's possible candidacy on the PDP platform. A faction within the party, led by Tanimu Turaki, SAN, has indicated plans to screen Jonathan as the sole presidential aspirant, with a screening committee set to include notable figures such as former Vice President Namadi Sambo and former Plateau State Governor Jonah Jang. However, reports suggest that Jonathan did not submit his nomination form as anticipated, resulting in an indefinite postponement of the screening process, highlighting ongoing factional tensions within the PDP as it navigates its leadership crisis ahead of the elections.
