PDP in talks with Obi, other southern politicians — Jerry Gana

A founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prof. Jerry Gana, has disclosed that the party is holding discussions with the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and other prominent southern political figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Gana, a former Minister of Information and one of the party’s most respected elders, disclosed this during an interview on African Independent Television on Friday, as he reflected on the internal decisions that shaped the PDP’s past presidential primaries.

Following the report that PDP may zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South, there had been insinuations that the party was wooing the former Anambra State governor to its camp.

The insinuations intensified last Friday when the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ibrahim Abdullahi, said, “Peter Obi is our product. We want to get him back, indeed, because he is a very, very great capital for any political party.”

When asked to confirm the discussion with Obi on the AIT interview, Gana said, “Yes, why not? He was our member. In fact, if I were the former Vice President, I would have in 2023 said, ‘No, Peter, you were my vice-presidential candidate in 2019. Now, I’ll support you.’ It would have been a strong statement.”

Gana, who is leading one of the party’s consultative delegations, said although formal talks with Obi had not yet occurred, discussions were underway with people close to him.

“I have met people. I have met him (Obi), and I have met people he would refer to, and I have sat with them for hours. We are moving step by step,” he said.

Gana added that Obi was not the only figure being courted, as the PDP was exploring broader options across the southern region.

“We’re not just looking at one person. One, two, three, even more. You know, the South is full of talents,” he said.

The PDP chieftain also revisited the events leading up to the 2023 election, describing how the party rallied around Abubakar despite reservations from some quarters.

“If you ask many of our members, they’ll say we’re a quietly answered prayer, because really, there’s absolutely nothing else we’ve not done to show that we are brothers with Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

“He left in 2014 to go and form the APC with other people. He only came back to us towards the end. He requested for the party’s ticket in 2019. Do you remember who was our candidate? He was still a candidate. He didn’t get it.”

Gana said that in 2023, PDP leaders gave Atiku another opportunity based on his 2019 candidacy.

He also recalled convening a crucial meeting at his home in 2023, which both Atiku and then-Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, attended in an effort to unite the party before the general election.

“To be fair to both of them, they honored me. They came to my small house, and I said, ‘Look, Nigerians expect the PDP to win this election.’ So let’s resolve this matter, so that we win and form government,” Gana said.

According to him, there was an agreement to respect the outcome of the party’s convention. “Sincerely, this thing should have initially gone to the South. But now you’ve won the primaries, you’ve been elected. We’ll respect the will of the people,” he said.

He disclosed that Wike, feeling sidelined after not being chosen as running mate, requested that the chairmanship be ceded to the South.

Gana emphasised that the PDP was focused on rebuilding its internal structure to serve as a credible alternative to the ruling APC, especially amid rising economic hardship.

Good luck to them

We are waiting
2027 is just minutes away

My advise to Peter Obi is to be focussed.
He should watch before he leaps.
The troubles of the PDP are far from over. Until the likes of damagun and other moles in the PDP is wiped out the party will not move forward.
In my opinion, Obi running as the candidate on any platform will fall short. He should collaborate with a strong northern candidate. At this point there's nothing like the turn of the South. It's time to take off the gloves and fight. When tinubu, a Muslim, chose another Muslim in shetima to deputies, "the turn of a Christian deputy" didn't stop his victory. Obi should work with a strong northerner in 2027 and run afterwards.

Peter Obi is the most confused politician to ever aspire to become Nigeria’s president and his supporters are far more confused and delusional than him and I’m not even making this up 🤣🤣🤣

No. Peter Obi is not confused.

It is you people who have been thrown into confusion by Obi’s multi-pronged political chess moves.

In fact you lots are so confused that even your confusion is now confused.

And all you can do is cry salty tears 🤓

Chai, Penguin 2.... No polling booth dey SM oooo.

It's sponsored to make sure Atiku does not see the ballot, but those who know politics understand it's an exercise in futility. Tinubu will return to Aso Rock easily because of Atiku & Obi running separately.

Penguin2:
Great to hear you are for the coalition. Because you seem to have dismissed every move of the opposition.

Now, about 2023, the reason we keep saying Obi won is because there was a 3 horse race with another candidate canceling out the votes of the states you highlighted.

If we are to go by your argument, how did Tinubu win the presidency then? Did he win those states?

Or are you saying the 6.1million INEC recorded for Obi are the votes he scored? When you and I heard tales of how his votes were changed in places like southern Borno because he had no one to protect his votes.

You need to start giving Obi his flowers please.

I don't dispute Obi and have never.
I just feel he doesn't seem to be open about his political position, he has always been like this since he was Governor. Many who support him today, do not know his politics when he was Governor, he was sneaky about his politics, neither here nor there, especially some of the things he today criticises and he still continues and you applaud him.

Today he is supporting Nenadi Usman and a day after tomorrow, he is sponsoring candidates for Abure to affirm. The Anambra Guber and Anambra South Candidates came from the imprimatur of Obi. He practically handed those names to Abure. They have been his friends and nominees even when he was Governor. Infact the Anambra South Candidate after winning the Primary publicly thanked Obi for supporting him, in front of Julius Abure.

Where does that leave Otti? Abure conducted Primaries and he pushed his friends to get the ticket and is campaigning for them. Do you know the character of the person he is fronting for Anambra South? Many who support him today do not know,
In APGA, as Governor that was how he threw Victor Umeh under the bus, conducted a National Convention & backed Okwu who won, then turned around, reconciled with Umeh, then ditched Okwu without the man knowing.

I hate this one leg here and another there. That is why Otti has technically distanced himself from him. The same thing he is doing today. He should take a stand!

Now, if Obi won the 2023 election, he won't need a coalition today. He ought to have PU agents, even Tinubu will claim his votes were suppressed in Anambra. He should remain in the ADC and fight it out, win or lose, that's my humble suggestion he must not compulsorily take, afterall who am I?

With the way you're going confusedly, you will soon ask him to go back to APuGA 🤣🤣. We thought Atiku was the biggest political wh00re but seems like the Agulu fraud has overtaken him. Anyways, Wike right now.. 😂

Peter Obi should not mind these jesters abeg.



When PDP was alive they refused to work for Obi to emerge their flag bearer, now that they have sucked all the life out of PDP and it is now a working corpse, they want to return the relics back to the founders, Ndigbo, what a wicked people

Coming from a supporter of a man widely known as a notórioûs d-lórd, certificate fórgér, and identity thiéf, whose presidency has delivered nothing but untold hardship, skyrocketing inflation, soaring transport costs, mass joblessness, and deepening insecurity that’s almost comical. If Peter Obi’s clarity and integrity confuse you, perhaps confusion is simply the comfort zone for those defending failure.

I read your second reply to the other guy, I wanted to quote your reply but I couldn't find it anymore, it has been deleted. Anyways, I love the reply, there's a thin line between delusion and hallucination and the difference is weed. He must have been on weed before coming online this morning.


-Kiss the truth!

Can we get the lists of the founding fathers of PDP before some unsuspecting readers fall for this falsehoods. Someone replied you with the factual lists but unfortunately, Nairaland deleted the post. Nowadays, you don't know what you get on this forum anymore. And I put the blame on seun, how can you delete a post that addresses misinformation with facts, how do you explain that?. We know how PDP was founded and it wasn't by any single region or tribe.


-Kiss the truth!

Obi is not going back to PDP.

Atiku will contest with ADC.

Obi will contest with LP.

Kwakwanso will contest with NNPP

Atiku and Kwakwanso will divide the votes of APC and PDP in the north.

I understand your pains bro. He is confusing everyone Including myself. Even Tinubu cannot predict him. That's the best strategy to use when competing against a vicious Tinubu that can do and undo

Lol when chief wike is alive even he chased the almighty Atiku Abubakar Tabuwal and rendered
bukola Saraki useless. Who Jerry Ghana?

Thank you for the heads-up boss, i didn't even know my post was deleted until i got your mentions. You see, that's what this place don turn to and very soon i go carry my load leave here, the nonsense is too much.

Abubakar Rimi, Solomon Lar, Jerry Gana, Tony Aneni, Bola Ige, Sule Lamido, Adamu Ciroma Babangana Tukur and co who are among the founders of PDP are all Ndigbo according to Ipob. And this counter fact annoyed seun that he had to delete it 😂🤣😂 But this time around, I'm shocked i didn't get 30mins ban.

The only solution is for ADC to adopt Obi as its presidential candidate, end of discussion

That's may be unnecessary if some factors are not put into place

There's no solution that can defeat a wealthy incumbent African president

.

Is it the wike faction which is technically APC abi which one?

.

To make him the presidential candidate?. That will checkmate to ADC. But not effective in the race to rescue the nation.

The Northern vote is crucial.

It will not work for you evil people in PDP.
You have your Wike, let him test his popularity, it is time to put his money where his mouth is. After all it is now time for touts to be ruling Nigeria.

Even PO is confused now about what party he truly belongs
Whether it’s APGA , or PDP or LP or ADC, dude is seriously confused. All I see is a two faced liar pretending to be righteous

Hmm 🤔 this Peter Obi na one very hot 🔥 cake 🎂 sha
