Calls for Former President Goodluck Jonathan to Contest in 2027 Intensify Amid Nationwide Discontent.
Calls for former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest in the 2027 presidential election are gaining momentum, sparking widespread discussion across Nigeria. A campaign poster, which has gone viral on social media and was obtained by Ejes Gist News, features Jonathan alongside former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as his running mate.

The emergence of this poster comes at a time of growing discontent and protests against the administration of President Bola Tinubu. Many Nigerians have expressed frustration with the current government’s handling of the economy, citing widespread poverty and the rising cost of living as major concerns. The ongoing hardship has led to increasing nostalgia for the Jonathan era, during which many believe the economic situation was more stable.
Ejes Gist News understands that as the 2027 election approaches, the possibility of a Jonathan-Kwankwaso ticket has fueled speculation about a potential political comeback for the former president, who remains a significant figure in Nigerian politics.
