Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporting the political ambition of former President Goodluck Jonathan have stormed the venue of the party’s ongoing elective convention in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The supporters were spotted flying flags with Goodluck Jonathan’s photo projecting the governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, as his running mate.
ThemomentNG reports that there has been speculation about Jonathan’s possible comeback to run for the 2027 presidential election.
Although the former president has been mum on the matter, his associates confirmed his alleged readiness to contest the much anticipated election.
The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde’s posters were also sighted at the convention venue on Friday.
Meanwhile, four governors of the PDP have arrived in Ibadan, Oyo State, even as a Federal High Court order has halted the party’s planned national convention scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
The South-West Chairman of the party, Kamorudeen Ajisafe, confirmed to Saturday Punch on Friday that the governors of Bauchi, Bala Mohammed; Zamfara, Dauda Lawal; Adamawa, Ahmadu Fintiri; and Oyo, Seyi Makinde, were already in Ibadan ahead of the exercise.
The leadership presence comes amid deepening internal battles between factions loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and those aligned with the acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum.
