2027 Presidency: Controversies Trail ADC Primaries, Court Clears Jonathan

Controversies have trailed the presidential primaries of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike jostle for the party’s ticket ahead of the 2027 general election. The heightened tension within the ADC followed the Federal High Court judgment delivered on Tuesday in Abuja, which cleared former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election. Justice Peter Lifu dismissed a suit filed by Abuja-based lawyer Johnmary Jideobi seeking to bar Jonathan from running, ruling that the former president remains eligible under the 1999 Constitution as amended. Justice Lifu held that Section 137(3) of the Constitution, which restricts any person from taking the oath of office of president more than twice, could not be applied retroactively to Jonathan, who completed the tenure of the late […]

2027: Court Dismisses Suit Querying Jonathan’s Eligibility

A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit questioning former President Goodluck Jonathan’s eligibility to contest the 2027 presidential election. The suit, filed by Abuja-based lawyer Johnmary Jideobi in 2025, sought a declaration that Jonathan was constitutionally barred from running again, having already completed the tenure of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and then served a full term after the 2011 election. The plaintiff relied on Sections 1(1)–(3) and 137(3) of the 1999 Constitution, arguing that Jonathan had effectively been sworn in as president twice. In its judgment delivered on May 26, the court held that the constitutional amendment introducing Section 137(3), which limits anyone who has taken the oath of office of president more than twice from contesting again, could not be applied retroactively to Jonathan. The judge agreed with arguments by Jonathan’s counsel, Chris Uche […]

2027 presidency: Jonathan’s declaration sparks stir

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has stirred the 2027 presidential race after declaring that he will “consult widely” before deciding whether to return to contest, a statement that has sparked intense reactions across Nigeria’s political landscape. Jonathan made the comments while addressing members of a support group, “Coalition for Jonathan 2027,” who visited him at his Abuja office to urge him to run in the next election. The group claimed to have a nationwide structure and millions of supporters ready to back his comeback, insisting that his experience and temperament are needed to stabilise the country. In response, Jonathan thanked them for their confidence but cautioned that presidential elections are “serious national business,” adding that he would not take any decision lightly. He stressed that Nigeria’s most urgent needs remain peace, credible elections and responsible leadership, and urged young people to […]

Mystère autour la chute d’Embaló en Guinée-Bissau

Les doutes continuent de s’amplifier autour des événements ayant mené à la destitution du président bissau-guinéen Umaro Sissoco Embaló, renversé cette semaine dans des conditions encore floues. À Abuja, l’ancien président nigérian Goodluck Jonathan, présent en tant qu’observateur pour le Forum des Anciens d’Afrique de l’Ouest, a exprimé de sérieux questionnements. Selon lui, ce qui s’est passé « ne ressemble pas à un coup d’État classique » mais plutôt à un « coup d’État cérémoniel ». Il s’est notamment étonné du fait que ce soit Embaló lui-même qui ait annoncé sa propre chute, un scénario inédit dans une région habituée aux ruptures de pouvoir brutales. Jonathan a déclaré avoir été exfiltré de Bissau avant l’annonce faite par l’armée. Au Sénégal, le Premier ministre Ousmane Sonko a partagé les mêmes réserves. Face aux députés, il a parlé d’une « mise en […]

Why Goodluck Jonathan Stepped Back From Politics

Former President Goodluck Jonathan explained that his membership in the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) requires strict non-partisanship, which has kept him out of active politics. Speaking at his foundation’s 10th anniversary, Jonathan noted the forum’s mission is to prevent election crises across West Africa, intervening before problems escalate. Jonathan admitted he disappointed associates who expected a return to politics, but adherence to WAEF rules is a priority. He condemned the “rascality” in the current political climate and called for more responsible and prepared leadership. He reflected sadly on the kidnapping of 25 girls in Kebbi State, recalling similar incidents from his presidency, and offered prayers for their safe return. Jonathan said his foundation—focused on democracy and governance after advice from Tony Elumelu—committed to advancing democracy, peace, and institutional reforms across Africa, including mediation and building trust between citizens and […]

Jonathan Fully Eligible for 2027 Presidency – Cousin

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is legally and constitutionally qualified to contest the 2027 presidential election, his cousin Azibaola Robert has said. Azibaola, a lawyer and former pro-democracy activist, made the statement in response to recent comments by senior legal figures, including Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo (SAN) and human rights lawyer Professor Chidi Odinkalu, who questioned Jonathan’s eligibility. Writing on his Facebook page, Azibaola stressed that there is no legal barrier to Jonathan’s candidacy. “GEJ is 100% constitutionally and legally qualified to contest if he chooses to. If he decides not to yield to the overwhelming calls to contest, it would not be because he is not qualified,” he wrote. He added that Jonathan, a former president and experienced leader, has access to a team of legal advisers and does not require public reminders about his rights under Nigerian law. […]
