Let's Talk: The People’s Democratic Party, battered, bruised with haemorrhaging supporters, like an old ship taking on water, has pulled out its most glittering ace, a comeback wish for former President Goodluck Jonathan.
With a steady mass exodus of loyalists to the African Democratic Congress, the APC, the NNPP and other smaller parties, the PDP’s latest move is as desperate as it is bold: dangle GEJ’s name to spark hope, grab headlines, and perhaps, just perhaps, breathe life into a party on a political life support
It’s no secret why PDP is doing this. The party has been reduced to playing second fiddle in its own supposed opposition role, thanks in no small way to the political havoc wrecked by the FCT Minister and immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who has unwittingly turned the PDP into a willing support arm for the ruling APC.
With the recent look of things and how the system is, can Goodluck Jonathan be the Trump card in Nigeria's politics come 2027?
The conversation will go on live on Let's Talk as Richard Badung hosts Longkat Ephraim.
