A competent source confirmed to Vanguard that Kwankwaso\u2019s team has already met Jonathan\u2019s emissaries, with both camps tabling \u201cminimal demands\u201d in pursuit of a deal.<\/p>\n
According to insiders, Kwankwaso\u2019s camp is demanding the vice-presidential ticket as part of any alliance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile Jonathan\u2019s team is not outrightly opposed to working with Kwankwaso, no final position has been taken on the demand,\u201d<\/em> the source disclosed.<\/p>\n Jonathan\u2019s strategists are said to be weighing alternative options, including picking a younger northern governor to galvanise the region\u2019s youth vote.<\/p>\n The bigger challenge for Jonathan, however, lies in choosing the right political platform.<\/p>\n Although both the PDP and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are open to hosting his comeback bid, factional battles in the two parties could complicate his path.<\/p>\n In the PDP, some leaders favour Jonathan\u2019s return, but camps loyal to Nyesom Wike, now aligned with the APC, remain firmly opposed.<\/p>\n Within the ADC, Jonathan enjoys the loyalty of several top figures, but Atiku Abubakar is also said to be eyeing the party\u2019s ticket, raising concerns about internal clashes.<\/p>\n A close ally admitted Jonathan was caught in a dilemma.<\/p>\n The source said, \u201cJonathan is both optimistic and confused about his chances in the PDP and the ADC. Some of his competitors still have remote control over both parties, making it dicey for him to settle for any of them as a platform for 2027.”<\/em><\/p>\n The source stated that the ADC, now under the recognised leadership of David Mark, had become a fallback option. Still, Jonathan\u2019s sentimental attachment to the PDP makes it his likely choice.<\/p>\n The source added, \u201cIt is a fact that at the moment, the ADC is made up of mostly Goodluck Jonathan\u2019s \u2018boys\u2019 who are ready to offer him the platform to run but the point is that Atiku is also angling for the same platform, even though he does not seem to have a foothold on the party like Jonathan.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBut it is getting clearer and clearer by the day that the former president would likely pitch his tent with the PDP, given the fact he has very strong sentiments for the party and most of those who left the party did so to protest Wike\u2019s takeover of its structures.”<\/em><\/p>\n The post 2027: Jonathan Camp Eyes Kwankwaso Alliance, Weighs PDP, ADC Platforms appeared first on Naija News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former President, Goodluck Jonathan\u2019s camp has opened talks with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, seeking to woo the former Kano governor into a potential alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
