"Party Insider Reveals: If Candidate Selects ADC Role, Presidency Will Be Zoned to Southern Region"
Former President Goodluck Jonathan Considering African Democratic Congress Offer for 2027 Election
Reports suggest that former President Goodluck Jonathan is giving serious thought to the proposal from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to be their presidential candidate in the 2027 election. A source close to both Jonathan and the ADC confirmed this on Friday.
The ADC, which is positioning itself as a potential alternative for Jonathan, should he decide to leave the Peoples Democratic Party, is willing to restructure its zoning arrangement to accommodate Goodluck Jonathan, should he choose to join the party. However, the source did not mention any specific zoning arrangement for the ADC in the North.
Jonathan's potential candidacy in the ADC is not without concerns. His hesitancy about running against Peter Obi, who enjoyed massive Igbo support during his 2015 campaign, remains a concern for his potential candidacy in the ADC. Goodluck Jonathan is reportedly worried about certain persons with strong links to the Villa potentially controlling the PDP and causing issues if he seeks the party's ticket.
Influential figures within the ADC are positioning Goodluck Jonathan as a top contender for the 2027 election. The ADC's leadership believes that Goodluck Jonathan's candidacy could tilt the scales in their favour in 2027. However, there is no available information regarding who will be the ADC candidate for the 2027 presidential election, should Goodluck Jonathan join the party.
The source did not mention any specific plan or strategy for dealing with potential opposition from Peter Obi's supporters within the ADC. Moreover, no new information was given about any potential conflicts within the ADC regarding Goodluck Jonathan's candidacy.
If Goodluck Jonathan does not join the ADC, the party is prepared to look towards the North for a presidential candidate, as politics is about winning. The ADC's belief that Goodluck Jonathan's candidacy could tilt the scales in their favour in 2027 remains unchanged.
Jonathan's loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party remains a question mark. No new information was given about Goodluck Jonathan's loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party in the reports.
This development comes at a time when the political landscape of Nigeria is undergoing significant changes, with various parties positioning themselves for the 2027 elections. The decision of Goodluck Jonathan, a key figure in Nigerian politics, could have a significant impact on the outcome of the elections.
The ADC's courting of Goodluck Jonathan is a clear indication of their ambitions for the 2027 elections. Whether Goodluck Jonathan will accept the offer remains to be seen.
