At the recent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national convention held at Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan, campaign visuals featuring former President Goodluck Jonathan made a notable comeback. Delegates and party supporters prominently displayed posters and banners showcasing Jonathan alongside Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed.
Signs of a Potential Jonathan-Mohammed Alliance
Many attendees sported T-shirts emblazoned with the acronym “GEJBAM,” symbolizing a prospective presidential ticket pairing Jonathan as the presidential candidate with Mohammed as his vice-presidential running mate. This coordinated display signals a growing momentum within PDP ranks advocating for Jonathan’s participation in the 2027 presidential race.
Jonathan’s Position and Emerging Contenders
Despite the visible enthusiasm, Goodluck Jonathan has yet to make any official declaration regarding his intentions to seek the presidency again. Meanwhile, the convention also highlighted support for Governor Seyi Makinde, whose banners and endorsements suggest increasing backing for his 2027 ambitions.
Bala Mohammed’s Conditional Candidacy
Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed has publicly stated that he will only enter the presidential contest if Jonathan opts out, positioning himself as a complementary candidate rather than a direct rival. His supporters emphasize that Mohammed would be an ideal vice-presidential partner should Jonathan decide to run, reinforcing the narrative of a united front within the party.
Context and Implications for the 2027 Elections
This resurgence of Jonathan’s campaign materials at a major PDP event reflects the dynamic and evolving nature of Nigeria’s political landscape as the 2027 elections approach. With internal party discussions intensifying and multiple aspirants gaining traction, the PDP appears to be navigating a complex field of potential candidates, balancing legacy figures with emerging leaders.
