Former President Goodluck Jonathan has met some northern leaders to intensify his plan to return to power in 2027.
Jonathan’s ally said the Otuoke-born politician had already met behind the scene with some top leaders within and outside the PDP to consult them and seek their support for the 2027 presidential race.
According to the politician, Jonathan met with former Nigerian military president, General Ibrahim Babangida [rtd], last weekend in his Hilltop Mansion in Minna, Niger State, and briefed him on his desire to run for one term in 2027.Although the source did not say what General IBB’s response to Jonathan was, he, however, expressed optimism that the idea had been properly sold to the north.
The official also disclosed that Jonathan was currently in the South-South consulting and meeting with critical stakeholders, with a view to selling the project to them and soliciting their unflinching support.
