Goodluck Jonathan May Run for Nigeria’s President Again in 2027

Reports suggest that former President Goodluck Jonathan may be preparing to enter the 2027 presidential race. There’s been growing speculation about a potential comeback, especially with signs that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is working behind the scenes to bring him back into the spotlight.
A close associate of the former president revealed that Jonathan has allegedly agreed to run, and talks have progressed significantly within the party. The source claimed that Jonathan is motivated by a desire to tackle the worsening poverty, economic hardship, and general suffering that has plagued Nigerians since the APC came into power in 2015.
It’s also reported that Jonathan has quietly consulted with key political figures, including leaders from the north and other influential players within and outside the PDP. One of those meetings reportedly took place last weekend in Minna, where he visited former military president General Ibrahim Babangida to discuss his interest in running for just one term.
Meanwhile, the PDP’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Ibrahim Abdullahi, noted that efforts are indeed being made to bring Jonathan back. He added that many Nigerians now regret voting him out and are calling on him to return and help steer the country out of its current struggles.

Nigerians React with Anger as Students Brutally Fail WAEC 2025

WAEC is currently facing intense backlash after releasing the results of the 2025 May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The results have caused conversations, with students, parents, teachers, and education experts expressing concern over the poor performance.
Only 38% of candidates passed with five credits, including English Language and Mathematics, subjects necessary for gaining admission into higher institutions. This marks a steep drop from the 72.12% success rate recorded in 2024, making it one of the lowest performances in recent years.
On X, education advocate Dr. Richard Ayo-Dairo (@RArakunrin) suggested the midnight timing of the English exam may have contributed to the poor performance. “No one is talking about the WAEC 2025 Midnight English Language examination, which clearly played a role in the mass failure,” he wrote. “Someone needs to be held accountable. This is about the future of our children.”
Another user, Femi Organ (@FemiOrgan), blamed an issue. “How many students today can even speak proper English, let alone write it? And those who speak well can’t explain or use it meaningfully. Shortcuts and slang have taken over,” he said. “WAEC is just the mirror. The real problem is around us.”

Gov. Adeleke Travels to the U.S. to Attend Davido and Chioma’s White Wedding in Miami

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has travelled to the United States to attend the white wedding of his nephew and famous Nigerian singer, Davido. Davido had earlier revealed that he and his wife, Chioma Avril Rowland, would be having their white wedding in Miami, Florida, this August. He made the announcement during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, which aired on April 8, 2025.
The governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, confirmed the trip in a statement, responding to speculations about Adeleke’s sudden absence raised by the opposition APC. Rasheed explained that Governor Adeleke left the country a few days ago using the family’s private jet to be present at the wedding of his nephew, whom he described as a global music star.
He also extended an invitation to members of the opposition to join the celebration, either in person or virtually. He noted that since assuming office in November 2022, Governor Adeleke has not taken an official vacation and decided to keep this trip short to stay committed to his duties. According to him, the governor remains in touch with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, who is overseeing state matters during his absence.
