Senator Shehu Sani
Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has criticised moves by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to draft former President Goodluck Jonathan into the 2027 presidential race, describing the effort as belated and politically motivated.
Sani made the remark in a post on his X platform on Monday while reacting to the adoption of Jonathan as the presidential candidate of a PDP faction ahead of the 2027 general election.
According to the former lawmaker, those now promoting Jonathan’s candidacy failed to support him when the party was in a stronger position and more capable of mounting a serious electoral challenge.
