Wike PDP Camp Rejects Jonathan Endorsement
A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Nyesom Wike has called on former President Goodluck Jonathan to reject a planned convention set to endorse him for the 2027 presidential race.
The group described the planned gathering as illegitimate and urged him to protect his public image.
The convention, organised by the Kabiru Turaki–led faction, was scheduled for Saturday in Abuja.
It was expected to formally affirm Jonathan as the party’s preferred candidate for the next general election.
The event was planned for A-Class Park and Event Centre in the Federal Capital Territory.
However, tensions have grown within the PDP over who controls the party structure and the legitimacy of competing factions.
The Wike-backed camp insisted that Jonathan should publicly distance himself from the process, warning that associating with it could damage his reputation.
The dispute adds to ongoing internal struggles within the PDP ahead of 2027.
