The alleged shortlisting of former President Goodluck Jonathan, 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi; and Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, for consideration for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, 2027 presidential ticket, yesterday, caused a stir in the party.
One of the presidential aspirants from the North, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, warned against a plot to use former President Jonathan as a ‘spoiler’ ahead of the PDP presidential primary, noting. However, Jonathan could run for the seat.
Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro, had reportedly said that the PDP had shortlisted three Southern aspirants, including Jonathan, as possible flag bearers.
The party recently zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the South, of which some leaders have been wooing Jonathan and Obi, who left the party in 2022, to run on PDP’s platform.
