In a significant political development, the Turaki faction of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has submitted former President Goodluck Jonathan's nomination to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2027 presidential election. This move comes amid an ongoing leadership crisis within the party, highlighting the faction's determination to secure Jonathan's candidacy. The committee has issued a warning against the submission of alternate candidate lists, indicating potential legal repercussions for those who attempt to undermine their position.

The Turaki faction's actions reflect a strategic push to unify party support behind Jonathan, aiming to reclaim the presidency after years in opposition.
