2027: Jonathan has magic wand to revive Nigeria’s economy – PDP chieftain Sani

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Sani, has said that former president Goodluck Jonathan has the magic wand to revive Nigeria’s economy.

Sani made this statement on Tuesday while answering questions on ‘The Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television.

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, Sani said that the best bet for the PDP is Jonathan, whom he said is the better option in the interest of the Northern region.

“So we are not looking at Jonathan from the promised angle. That has been resolved. The law has already been taken care of.

“He cannot do more than one term. So if he cannot do more than one term by the provisions of the law and the constitution, then the only thing remaining for him is to do that one term and go away,” he said.

Sani had said that Northern Nigeria would prefer Jonathan to emerge as the party’s presidential candidate rather than Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
