Former president Goodluck Jonathan and an ex-Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, are among southern politicians the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is considering as its candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
He said that Jonathan, whom he described as the “most celebrated politician today,” had faced political blackmail before he contested the 2015 presidential election but was later cleared by the court.
The former FCT minister said that Obi, who was the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), would be given the opportunity if he chose to return to the PDP.
