2027 Sh*ckwave: Politicians Beg Goodluck Jonathan To Return As President – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Reveals

Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide to the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has alleged that certain political figures are lobbying former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election.

In a post shared via his official handle on Monday, Ahmad suggested that the effort appears to be motivated more by political expediency than a sincere desire to advance national development.

He wrote:

“All signs indicate that some political actors are quietly working to persuade former President Goodluck Jonathan to run again in 2027.
Their reasoning seems to be that his candidacy would appeal to Northern voters based on the promise of serving only one term.”

Ahmad voiced his concern about the motives behind such a political move, criticizing what he sees as an attempt to exploit the North for rotational power purposes.

“What’s troubling is that this agenda isn’t centered on what Jonathan can genuinely offer the North or the country. It’s about convenience and power-sharing. The North shouldn’t be reduced to a stepping stone for political ambitions.”

Reports also suggest that some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are weighing the idea of supporting either Jonathan or former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential race.
