Shehu Sani warns Goodluck Jonathan against 2027 return, saying PDP is fractured and coalitions mirror APC policies without alternative vision

Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator, has urged ex-President Goodluck Jonathan not to consider a return bid for Nigeria’s presidency in 2027.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Sani addressed growing speculation around Jonathan’s possible comeback, stressing that the political terrain has changed drastically since his time in power.

“Each time there is an election, Jonathan’s name resurfaces. While it’s his right to contest, I advise him not to. The PDP he once knew no longer exists in that form,” Sani said.

The former lawmaker noted that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), which carried Jonathan to victory in 2011, is now fractured with key members aligning with rival interests.

“The PDP in the South-West is endorsing the president. Some of its members are part of the new coalition. He shouldn’t waste his time,” he added.

Turning to the emerging coalition involving the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Sani questioned its credibility and ideological base, describing its members as no different from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“We are in a democracy, and it’s within our rights to have an opposition. But if the only goal is to unseat President Tinubu without offering an alternative vision, then there is no real agenda,” he warned.

According to Sani, the policies of the coalition closely mirror those of the Tinubu administration, including subsidy removal and currency devaluation.

“There’s no ideological difference. It’s not a battle between opposing philosophies. Their track records and campaign messages show alignment with the status quo,” he argued.

By his assessment, Jonathan’s possible re-entry into politics would face not only structural challenges within the PDP but also an opposition bloc lacking clarity of vision and purpose.

Any Ambition Against Senator Nwoko’s Second Term Bid Is Selfish, Unnecessary —APC Chieftain

Published

By

As Senator Ned Nwoko positions for a return to the National Assembly, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Emmanuel Eboh, has described any opposing ambition as self- serving, unnecessary  and detrimental to the peace and development of Delta North Senatorial District.

Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Chief Eboh, a former civil commissioner in Delta State, said Senator Nwoko continues to enjoy widespread goodwill and the support of the people of Delta North, popularly known as Anioma.

While acknowledging that political aspirations are legitimate in a democratic setting, Eboh cautioned against what he termed the “unacceptable drift towards turning politics into a family enterprise and a tool for power control and manipulation.”

He called on residents of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency and the wider Delta North district to resist  “the inordinate ambition of some Shylock politicians driven by selfish motives and unrestrained personal interests.”

The APC stalwart warned that personality-driven ambitions, rather than people-oriented leadership, could
lead to  avoidable rivalry and division within Delta North.

Chief Eboh maintained that Senator Nwoko’s performance in office has been commendable and deserving of re-election, citing key interventions in rural road construction, electrification, education, potable water supply, and empowerment programmes.

He further highlighted the senator’s sustained advocacy for the recognition and identity of Anioma, noting that it was “unprecedented in the political history of the district”.

According to him, “Senator Nwoko has not only met expectations but surpassed them. He deserves re-election, particularly given the fact that the core constitutional responsibility of a senator is lawmaking for the good governance of the nation.”

Eboh said the people of Delta North regard Nwoko as a progressive leader who embodies unity and dignity across Anioma, stressing that he should not be distracted by unnecessary political contestation.

He reaffirmed that the senator’s commitment to the growth and development of Anioma remains unwavering and urged constituents to sustain their support for his return to the Senate.

The APC chieftain also called for continued backing of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
