2027 Polls: Keyamo Warns PDP Against Fielding Jonathan Or Obi
August 31, 2025 | Politics
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against presenting either former President Goodluck Jonathan or ex-Anambra governor Peter Obi as its 2027 presidential candidate.
Keyamo said Jonathan’s candidacy poses a constitutional risk under Section 137(3) of the 1999 Constitution, which may bar anyone sworn in twice as president from running again. He warned that if the Supreme Court disqualifies Jonathan after nominations close, PDP could end up without a candidate.
He also argued that the PDP lost support in the South-South and South-East in 2023 by failing to zone its ticket southward, suggesting Obi’s candidacy would not solve the party’s internal challenges.
