A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Abba Moro, has suggested that Goodluck Jonathan and Peter Obi might be running for president as the election campaign rages on.  ,
Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro revealed that discussions are ongoing over a possible return of the duo to the main opposition party while speaking on Tuesday while answering questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
According to Moro, “I am aware that some people have been talking to Peter Obi in the days leading up to 2027,” “Hey, come back home, this is what we are likely to do, and if you come, you stand a chance of being the candidate.”
Senator Moro of Benue South responded to questions about the possibility of former president Jonathan running for president by saying, “Some people are talking to the former president to come and run.” It is a possibility.
From 2010 to 2015, Jonathan presided over the PDP. Following Musa Yar’Adua’s passing in 2010, the former governor of Bayelsa succeeded him.
The following year, he won the presidency under the PDP. In an election since the return of democracy in 1999, Jonathan was defeated by former president Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, making him the first incumbent to lose.
He hasn’t been seen in PDP meetings since then, keeping a low profile politically.
However, he has been subjected to apprehensions regarding his inauguration. Although Jonathan has yet to make a comment on the situation or declare his desire for the nation’s number one seat, which he left in 2015. Additionally, he hasn’t formally left the PDP.

Obi was formerly a PDP member, unlike the former president. Before quitting in the run-up to the 2023 elections, he served as the party’s vice presidential candidate in the 2019 elections.
The former governor of Anambra State teamed up with the largely unknown Labour Party (LP) to prepare for that election. Obi flew the party’s flag during that exercise because of the country’s youthful demography.
However, he lost to then-candidate Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who won the election against former vice president Atiku Abubakar under the PDP, who was also up for election.
The LP chieftain has joined forces with some of the most popular political figures in the opposition coalition party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in preparation for the next round of general elections, which will take place less than two years later.
