Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, has revealed that discussions are ongoing to bring Peter Obi and former President Goodluck Jonathan back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, August 26, Moro disclosed that key party figures have approached both leaders as part of the PDP’s strategy to reclaim power in 2027.

“So, in the run-up to 2027, I am aware certain individuals have been talking to Peter Obi: ‘Hey, come back home, this is what we are likely to do, and if you come, you stand a chance of being the candidate,’” Moro stated.

When asked about Jonathan’s potential return, Moro added:

“Some persons are talking to the former president to come and run. It is a possibility.”

Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s president from 2011 to 2015, became the first incumbent to lose re-election after being defeated by Muhammadu Buhari. Since then, he has remained largely inactive in PDP politics despite persistent calls for his comeback.

Peter Obi, former Anambra State governor, served as the PDP’s vice-presidential candidate in 2019 before defecting to the Labour Party, where his 2023 presidential campaign galvanized massive youth support, finishing third behind Bola Tinubu (APC) and Atiku Abubakar (PDP).

With the 2027 polls drawing closer, Obi has been collaborating with key opposition figures under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition and has signaled his intention to run again, though his platform remains uncertain.

Joro , Wike still dey for Pdp, make we no forget in hurry.

With the way things are going with the political parties and the politicians,

Pdp and LP might likely form a coalition ( Secretly/openly) with APC as they have nothing to loose in doing that.

Koleman:
A former Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, David Paradang, has narrated how former Interior Minister, Abba Moro, reversed ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s directive to employ relatives of the deadly 2014 Immigration recruitment victims.
.
Mr. Paradang said the former minister described the employment of some family members of those who died in the stampede, as “illegal”.
Only those who were qualified for junior positions out of 45 total family members of 15 victims, were given jobs, he told a court trying Mr. Moro on Friday.
.
Mr. Paradang did not say the exact number of those employed. It was also unclear whether former President Jonathan was consulted by the former minister before the employment offers were cancelled.
.
Mr. Moro and four others are facing an 11-count charge of money laundering, arising from the conduct of the tragic recruitment.
.
They are accused of defrauding 676, 675 applicants of N676. 7 million being the aggregate of N1000 paid by each applicant to the recruiting agent, Drexel Nigeria Limited, a company Mr. Moro had ties with.
.
Despite the huge amount realized from applicants, the recruitment was poorly organised, resulting in deadly stampedes across the country.
.
Mr. Paradang, who is the first prosecution witness in Mr. Moro’s trial, told the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday that after a presidential directive of employment to victims’ relatives, Mr. Moro ordered the withdrawal of offer letters.[/b]
