2027: Jonathan will contest presidency on PDP ticket – Gana

Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will contest the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) and he is ready to return as Nigeria President again, former Minister of Information and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) Professor Jerry Gana has said.

He stated this in Minna at the weekend while speaking with journalists at the party’s state Congress.

He said, “In 2015, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan said his ambition is not worth the blood of Nigerians. After him, another president ruled for eight years and now another has ruled for two years. Nigerians have seen the difference and the difference is very clear. Nigerians are now asking us to bring back our friend, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

“I can confirm that Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will contest the presidential election in 2027 as PDP candidate and you will vote for him to return as president again.”

He further stated that the PDP members are democrats and that democracy deals with the will of the people to freely choose whom they want, adding that, the PDP has tremendous opportunity in 2027 because it is truly a grassroots party.

Professor Gana stated confidently that, “The people of Nigeria love the PDP because it came with programmes that are people-oriented. That is why they remember PDP immensely, and they are urging us to come back.”

He dismissed claims that there is crisis in PDP, saying that when there was a near crisis in the party, the founding fathers convened a consultative conference in Abuja and addressed all the issues at that time.

Professor Jerry Gana took a swipe at the government for making the mistake of not allowing foreign investors to bring money to Nigeria.
