Figures cited by Leadership show former President Goodluck Jonathan met with the Tanimu Turaki‑led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP and pledged a more active role in the party’s reorganization ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Jonathan urged party members to avoid divisive tendencies and focus on rebuilding unity and a platform that resonates with Nigerians, as the PDP battles internal crises and defections.
The Nation and Daily Post also tracked the development, reporting on Jonathan’s engagement with party leadership and his call for unity and discipline as a pathway to a stronger opposition.
Echotitbits take: Jonathan’s entry could help stabilize the PDP and slow defections, but his effectiveness will depend on balancing governors’ interests with emerging power blocs. Expect internal negotiations to intensify as 2027 draws closer.
