Nigeria’s political landscape is heating up as the 2027 presidential elections draw closer, and speculation is swirling around former President Goodluck Jonathan potentially making a political comeback. While Jonathan himself has not officially confirmed any intention to run, several indicators are keeping political watchers on high alert.
Recent statements by political figures, including former Minister of Information Professor Jerry Gana, have fueled speculation that Jonathan may contest the 2027 elections. Gana publicly suggested that Jonathan could emerge as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate. Additionally, the PDP Northern Support Group has voiced strong backing for Jonathan’s return, amplifying the buzz in political circles.
Jonathan has reportedly held private meetings with key political and party leaders, including Senator David Mark and other influential figures in Abuja. These meetings are seen by many as an indication that Jonathan is weighing his options ahead of the election.
Despite growing speculation, Jonathan has not made any public declaration about running. His wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, has openly dismissed the idea of a return to power, emphasizing that her husband has already served at all levels of government.
Adding to the drama, a lawyer has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking to prevent Jonathan from contesting the 2027 presidential election. The suit argues that a Jonathan candidacy would contravene certain constitutional provisions, further intensifying debate around his potential comeback.
While official confirmation from Jonathan is still absent, endorsements, political meetings, and legal maneuvers suggest that a 2027 comeback is still very much a topic of discussion. Political watchers and Nigerians alike are keeping a close eye on developments as the countdown to the elections continues.
