Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s potential run for the presidency in 2027 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been dismissed by Dele Momodu, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

While answering questions on Channels Television’s Sunrise show on Friday, Momodu stated that Jonathan’s return attempt is still being resisted by firmly established PDP interests.

Additionally, he clarified that political gatherings, like Jonathan’s recent encounters with Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, should not be seen as indications of a partnership because politicians frequently get together for diverse purposes.

Citing public responses to a recent meeting between President Bola Tinubu and Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, Momodu continued, “Speculation is common in politics.”

He said: “Those who are saying, oh, former president Jonathan will run on the platform of PDP, I doubt, because those who are determined to kill PDP, they are still very much entrenched. Those who are saying, okay, he and former Governor Peter Obi are meeting, it’s normal for politicians to meet. They meet all the time.

“The other day when we saw the picture of the senator Rabiu Kwankwaso with President Bola Tinubu, people said he’s going to dump NNPP and he’s going to APC. People speculate a lot. This is not a time to speculate. This is a time to focus and strategize.

“So all this noise about this will go there, let people go. In a democracy, if you cannot agree on consensus, then let there be primary, let them go to poll and whosoever wins, so be it.”
