File: Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan
The Kabiru Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party has welcomed the judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja affirming the eligibility of former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election.
The party, in a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, described the ruling as being in line with the law and “common sense.”
The Federal High Court, Abuja Division, had ruled that Jonathan remained eligible to seek the presidency despite previously taking the oath of office as president twice.
Reacting to the judgment, the PDP said laws could not have retroactive or retrospective effect.
