2027: Goodluck Jonathan for president, posters flood northern Nigeria

Residents of Kano were greeted on Thursday morning with campaign posters of former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan prominently displayed across major roundabouts in the city.

The posters, carrying the slogan “Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for President, 2027. He is our Messiah,” have sparked curiosity and speculation, as the identities and motives of those behind them remain unclear. The unexpected appearance comes just a year into President Bola Tinubu’s administration, adding an intriguing twist to Nigeria’s political landscape.

While Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, have repeatedly denied harboring any plans for another presidential bid, the sudden emergence of these posters could reshape public discourse.

Kano, a state known for its dynamic political engagement, has often seen reflections on Jonathan’s administration, with some praising its perceived achievements. However, this visual campaign raises questions about whether these sentiments are evolving into active political momentum or remain speculative.
