Leaders of a faction within Nigeria’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP) meet with former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja ahead of the 2027 general election, according to multiple reports. The meeting involves the Taminu Turaki–led wing of the party, which announced Jonathan as its presidential candidate for the next election in a process described by one outlet as taking place “in absentia,” with Jonathan not physically present at the event. Photos of the meeting are reported to have circulated online, prompting public speculation about the party’s plans for 2027. The reports describe the gathering as a step by the faction to signal its candidate selection ahead of the election cycle. Neither outlet provides additional details in the supplied accounts about Jonathan’s response, whether the broader PDP leadership endorses the move, or how the faction’s nomination aligns with the party’s formal nomination processes. The reports therefore focus mainly on the meeting, the announcement of candidacy in Jonathan’s absence, and the subsequent online reactions.
