A campaign poster featuring former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2027 presidential election has surfaced on social media, sparking rumors about his potential candidacy. The poster, shared by journalist Jackson Ude on Twitter, presents Jonathan as the presidential candidate with former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate for the vice-presidency.
The image has caused a stir in political circles, leading to speculation about whether Jonathan, who served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015, is considering a return to office. His involvement in the 2027 election could shake up the political landscape, especially with Kwankwaso, a prominent figure from northern Nigeria and leader of the New Nigeria People‘s Party (NNPP), as a potential ally.
While neither Jonathan nor Kwankwaso has confirmed the authenticity of the campaign poster or their intention to run in the upcoming election, the circulation of the image has reignited discussions about their political futures. Many observers are waiting to see if Jonathan, who left office after his 2015 defeat, would re-enter the political arena, and what impact this ticket could have on the race.
The possibility of a Jonathan-Kwankwaso alliance is particularly interesting, as it could bridge regional divides and attract support from different parts of Nigeria, making them formidable contenders if they choose to run. However, until official announcements are made, these rumors remain speculative.
