Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential posters for the 2027 elections appeared across major streets in Kano on Thursday, sparking speculations about his possible return to the political arena.

The posters, seen at strategic locations such as Gyadi-Gyadi/Zoo Road flyover, Kofar Nasarawa, and State Road, featured messages like “Team New Nigeria 2027; The Goodluck Nigeria Needs—Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.”

This development has intensified conversations about the 2027 presidential race, with prominent figures like Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and the incumbent president expected to contest.

Jonathan’s spokesperson, Okechukwu Eze, has yet to comment on the matter.

However, the emergence of the posters echoes a similar incident before the 2023 elections when supporters purchased nomination forms for Jonathan under the All Progressives Congress, a move he later distanced himself from.

The recent campaign posters are said to be spearheaded by a political movement known as Team New Nigeria, which has been promoting its activities across the country.

TNN leader, Modibbo Farakwai, when contacted, explained that the group’s efforts are informed by public demand for transformative leadership.

“Nigerians are yearning for change and for new party faces to drive that change. They want a transformation in the culture and efficacy of governance at all levels,” Farakwai said.

TNN has constituted a harmonisation committee in Kano State and is on the verge of registering as a political party with the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Already, the group is claiming to have mobilised 26,382,000 registered voters across Nigeria and has developed essential party structures, including a flag, logo, constitution, and manifesto.

When contacted for his reaction, a foundation member of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, said Jonathan, like other qualified Nigerians, is at liberty to contest for the presidential race.

Yakasai added, “Jonathan did not complete his second mandate, as he lost the race to former president Muhammadu Buhari. This is another opportunity for him to complete his tenure.”

Hmm, if Jonathan decides to run in 2027, it will be a big challenge for Tinubu and APC


I'm sure they will try to persuade and negotiate with him
