JUST IN: PDP faction declares Jonathan presidential candidate in absentia

A splinter group within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced former President Goodluck Jonathan as their chosen candidate for the 2027 presidential election. The faction made this declaration despite Jonathan not being present or having officially declared his candidacy. This move signals a potential internal division within the party ahead of future elections. The group's decision was made without direct input or confirmation from the former president himself.

This development highlights potential internal party realignments and could influence the political landscape leading up to the 2027 general elections.
