Former President Goodluck Jonathan met privately with African Democratic Congress Chairman David Mark in Abuja, stirring political chatter about the 2027 elections – www.naijnaira.com reports.
Naija News noted that the meeting happened shortly after the ADC wrapped up its first national caucus session, where opposition forces formally adopted the party as their coalition platform.
The closed-door conversation has fueled talk that Jonathan may be considering another shot at the presidency, despite remaining silent on any official declaration.
Political insiders within the Peoples Democratic Party have been urging him to take on President Bola Tinubu in the next general election.
Jonathan, who lost the presidency in 2015 to the late Muhammadu Buhari, remains eligible for only one more term if he chooses to run.
The bond between Jonathan and Mark goes back years, with Mark serving as Senate President under his administration.
It was during Mark’s leadership that the doctrine of necessity was introduced, a decisive step that allowed Jonathan to assume power as Acting President in 2010 when Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was critically ill.
While speculation intensifies, the former President has yet to break his silence on whether he will enter the race.
