A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has announced plans to screen former President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday, May 19, as its sole presidential aspirant ahead of the 2027 general election.
The group disclosed that a 14-member screening committee has been constituted to oversee the exercise. Members of the panel include former Vice-President Namadi Sambo, former Plateau State Governor Jonah Jang, and former Minister of Foreign Affairs Tom Ikimi.
The faction had earlier stated that Jonathan recently completed the PDP’s fresh digital registration process introduced in line with directives from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
It also revealed that governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives and state House of Assembly aspirants across the country are scheduled to undergo screening beginning Tuesday as part of preparations for the 2027 elections.
