 Jonathan Comeback Posters Surface at PDP Convention in Ibadan


Supporters advocating for former President Goodluck Jonathan's return to active politics made their presence felt on Saturday at the ongoing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national elective convention in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.


The enthusiasts were observed waving flags bearing Jonathan's portrait, with Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed prominently featured as his proposed running mate for a potential 2027 presidential bid.
