A Federal High Court in Abuja is set to hear a legal action seeking to prevent former President Goodluck Jonathan from contesting the 2027 presidential election. Multiple Nigerian outlets report that the case is scheduled for Friday, with coverage noting that the suit challenges Jonathan’s eligibility in the context of ongoing public debate about constitutional term limits. The reporting also links the court action to renewed discussion of whether Jonathan could return to politics, amid speculation about a possible bid for the presidency. The sources do not indicate the specific legal arguments in detail, but agree the matter centers on whether Jonathan can lawfully participate in the 2027 election under relevant constitutional provisions. Both outlets describe the hearing as a scheduled court proceeding that will determine the matter before the court at that time. Until the court rules, Jonathan’s eligibility remains subject to the outcome of the suit.
