Jonathan 2027 presidential posters flood Kano
Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential posters for the 2027 election have appeared on major streets in Kano,,sparking speculations about his possible return to the political arena.

The posters were located on strategic areas like Gyadi-Gyadi/Zoo Road, Kofar Nasarawa, and State Road, with inscriptions like “Team New Nigeria 2027; The Goodluck Nigeria Needs— Goodluck Jonathan.”

Jonathan’s spokesperson, Mr Okechukwu Eze, has yet to comment on the matter.

However, the emergence of the posters echoes a similar incident before the 2023 election when supporters purchased nomination forms for Jonathan under the All Progressives Congress, a move he later distanced himself from.

The recent campaign posters were said to be spearheaded by a political movement known as Team New Nigeria (TNN), which had been promoting its activities across the country.

TNN leader, Mr Modibbo Farakwai, said that the group’s actions were informed by public demand for transformative leadership.

“Nigerians are yearning for change and for new party faces to drive that change. They want a transformation in the culture and efficacy of governance at all levels,” Farakwai said.

TNN has constituted a harmonisation committee in Kano State and was on the verge of registering as a political party with the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Already, the group claimed to have mobilised 26,382,000 registered voters across Nigeria and had developed essential party structures, including a flag, logo, constitution, and manifesto.

When contacted for his reaction, a foundation member of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, said Jonathan, like other qualified Nigerians, is at liberty to contest for the presidential race.

Yakasai added, “Jonathan did not complete his second mandate, as he lost the race to former president Muhammadu Buhari. This is another opportunity for him to complete his tenure.”
