PDP Faction Submits Goodluck Jonathan’s Name for 2027 Election
In related news, a faction of the PDP announced that it had submitted the name of former President Goodluck Jonathan to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election. The submission came amid the party’s ongoing leadership crisis.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Interim National Working Committee, Ini Ememobong, stated that INEC acknowledged receipt of the documents, even though the faction claimed it was denied access to electronic submission codes. Ememobong maintained that this group represents the authentic leadership of the PDP, citing a Supreme Court judgment that left the party without a legally recognised national executive.
He explained that the situation prompted the Party’s Board of Trustees and a National Executive Committee meeting, convened through members’ requisition, to establish an interim leadership structure.
