Please, share this story:
Supporters of former President Goodluck Jonathan and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have started wooing key aspirants to back former President Goodluck Jonathan to beat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should he become the PDP flagbearer.
It is reliably gathered that a host of PDP top shots, especially from the North, have been pressuring Jonathan to join the race.
Similarly, some PDP bigwigs had also been wooing former Anambra State governor and 2023 presidential standard bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, to return to the PDP.
Obi was noted supporting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition that has the likes of former Rivers State governor and immediate past Transport Minister, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi; former Senate President, David Mark; former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola; and former Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufai.
Obi said on many occasions that he is for any move that will save the country from the APC.
Among Southern politicians nursing the ambition of confronting Tinubu are Mr. Peter Obi, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, and Oyo State governor Mr. Seyi Makinde.
Jonathan’s camp has reportedly been holding meetings with key aspirants and has even met Obi “to step down for Jonathan.”
However, the former president was yet to respond to pressure to join the race.
