A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Tanimu Turaki has declared former President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
The decision was taken on Saturday during a special national convention held at the faction’s national secretariat in Area 10, Garki, Abuja.
Jonathan was not present at the event where his nomination was ratified, but his Certificate of Return was received on his behalf by Bayelsa State lawmaker, Fred Agbedi.
The declaration was made in the presence of delegates and party stakeholders aligned with the Turaki-led faction.
