A member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has dismissed speculations that former President Goodluck Jonathan may contest the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Momodu spoke on Friday while fielding questions on Channels
Television’s Sunrise programme, noted that entrenched interests within the PDP
remain opposed to Jonathan’s return bid.
He also explained that political meetings, such as
Jonathan’s recent interactions with former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi,
should not be interpreted as signs of an alliance, noting that politicians often
meet for different reasons.
Momodu added that speculation is common in politics, citing
public reactions to a recent meeting between Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and
President Bola Tinubu.
He said: “Those who are saying, oh, former president
Jonathan will run on the platform of PDP, I doubt, because those who are
determined to kill PDP, they are still very much entrenched. Those who are
saying, okay, he and former Governor Peter Obi are meeting, it’s normal for
politicians to meet. They meet all the time.
“The other day when we saw the picture of the senator Rabiu
Kwankwaso with President Bola Tinubu, people said he’s going to dump NNPP and
he’s going to APC. People speculate a lot. This is not a time to speculate.
This is a time to focus and strategize.
“So all this noise about this will go there, let people go.
In a democracy, if you cannot agree on consensus, then let there be primary,
let them go to poll and whosoever wins, so be it.”
