Multiple Nigerian outlets report that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja rules that former President Goodluck Jonathan is eligible to contest the 2027 presidential election. According to the reports, the court’s decision clears Jonathan to run, overturning or rejecting attempts to bar him on eligibility grounds. One outlet also provides an explainer, saying the ruling reignites constitutional debate over presidential tenure limits and how succession should be interpreted under Nigeria’s constitution. After the initial Federal High Court ruling, at least one report states that the matter shifts to the Court of Appeal, indicating that the legal dispute is continuing and may be reviewed by a higher court. Another report adds that a faction within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) welcomes the verdict, reflecting political reaction to the court’s decision. Across the coverage, the central point is the Federal High Court’s determination that Jonathan can participate in the 2027 race, while the outcome of any appeal remains unresolved.
