Keyamo Urges Jonathan to Reject PDP Presidential Ticket in 2027

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has urged former President Goodluck Jonathan to decline the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential ticket.

Keyamo said that the PDP faction offering Jonathan the ticket is not recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Previously, the Tanimu Turaki-led PDP had announced Jonathan as its candidate for the 2027 election.

Keyamo advised Jonathan to reject the offer to protect his international reputation.

Posting on X, Keyamo wrote: “This is some kind of bizarre comedy taken too far by supposedly grown adults and some names that were actually in the corridors of power at some point in this country.”

“Giving a whole Presidential ticket to an ex-President and statesman by proxy and by a bunch of people not even registered on INEC’s website.”

“And they don’t give a hoot, dragging such a revered figure into their charade that is certainly a journey to nowhere. Quite sad.”

“For the sake of his global image, President Goodluck Jonathan must immediately issue a strong ‘no, thank you’ statement, lest Nigerians begin to recall the ‘clueless’ campaign that got him out of power – first sitting President to be so ousted.”
