File: Former President Goodluck Jonathan
A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party led by Tanimu Turaki on Saturday declared former President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
The decision was taken at a special national convention held at the faction’s national secretariat in Area 10, Garki, Abuja.
The group had planned to hold a special national convention at the A-Class Event Centre in Wuse 2, but moved its activities to its operational office in Garki after security operatives sealed off the venue.
Jonathan was not present at the event where his nomination was formally ratified, but his Certificate of Return was received on his behalf by Bayelsa lawmaker, Fred Agbedi.
