Abba Moro Says Obi and Jonathan Might Come Back to PDP Before 2027 Elections
Senate Minority Leader and PDP chieftain, Abba Moro, has hinted that Peter Obi and former President Goodluck Jonathan could return to the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the Benue South Senator revealed that conversations are already taking place about Obi’s possible comeback. According to him, some individuals are reaching out to the former Labour Party presidential candidate, urging him to return with the promise that he stands a strong chance of becoming PDP’s candidate if he does.
When asked about Goodluck Jonathan, Moro admitted that some party members are also in talks with the former president about a possible run. While acknowledging concerns from those who argue over constitutional limits due to Jonathan’s previous terms, Moro dismissed the fears, recalling how the matter was settled in 2015 when Jonathan’s eligibility was legally upheld.
He maintained that both men remain influential figures, and their return could reshape the PDP’s strength ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Presidency has reacted to the ongoing dispute between former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and the state government over the state’s finances.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, said Obi had claimed he left Anambra debt-free and promised to stop his presidential campaign if proven wrong.
Onanuga said the Anambra government had presented figures showing outstanding obligations to workers, pensioners and contractors under Obi’s administration.
Obi, however, denied the claims, saying his administration cleared over ₦35 billion in historical gratuities and arrears before leaving office.
“If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning,” Obi said.
Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has spoken about why he believes Igbos are supporting President Bola Tinubu’s bid for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
He said the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has given Igbos greater access to the president.
He said “We Igbos now have access to Mr. President Tinubu through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That’s why we’re doing everything to make sure he’s re-elected.”
Cubana Chief Priest also spoke about the growing support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, saying “Thousands of Imolites are trooping in for registration for APC. Ndi Imo don’t just love the City Boys Movement, they believe in it. Let’s do politics with lifestyle. On Asiwaju’s mandate, we shall stand. Imo is APC. Here, it’s zero competition.”
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
