Turaki-led PDP Ratifies Jonathan’s Candidacy In Absence At Abuja Convention

 

 

Former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana, on Saturday received the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Certificate of Return on behalf of former President Goodluck Jonathan at the party’s ‘National Convention’ in Abuja.

The presentation by the PDP Interim National Working Committee led by Kabiru Turaki, SAN, thrust Jonathan back into the political spotlight amid growing interest in the opposition’s plans ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Gana received the certificate before party leaders, delegates, former ministers, state officials, and supporters gathered at the convention venue in Area 10, Garki, Abuja.

He later addressed party supporters and journalists shortly after the presentation.

Meanwhile, Jonathan’s candidacy was ratified on Saturday at a special national convention held at the party’s office in Area 10, Garki district, Abuja.

The Turaki-led faction had initially planned to hold its convention at the A-Class Park and Event Centre.

However, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) directed owners of hotels and event centres to only deal with the leadership of political parties recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
