Ologunagba: Goodluck Jonathan Still with PDP
The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Debo Ologunagba, has confirmed that former President Goodluck Jonathan remains a member of the party and has not resigned.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Wednesday, Ologunagba addressed speculations about potential candidates for the 2027 presidential election following the PDP’s decision to zone its ticket to the South.
While reaffirming Jonathan’s membership, he declined to comment on former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, noting that Obi has not yet indicated any decision to return to the PDP.
“So, for me, it would be improper for me to begin to comment on that. What I can comment on is our capacity, even as we stand, that we have exceedingly qualified individuals,” he said.
He also described Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde—who has been linked to interest in the party’s presidential ticket—as the “poster boy” of the PDP.
“And you mentioned, specifically, Governor Makinde. Of course, that’s one of our poster boys in this party in terms of performance, in terms of capacity, in terms of being able to galvanise Nigerians. And people see that promise in the country, in that individual.
So, for us, we have, in the party today, very eminently qualified Nigerians and governors who are performing. And Nigerians can recognise that,” he stated.
