The Northern Support Group of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared support for former President Goodluck Jonathan as its preferred candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
The group made this known in a communiqué released after its 8th meeting held in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, on Wednesday and Thursday.
According to the statement signed by Yusuf Abubakar, the Northern Coordinator, and Adamu Narayi, the North-West Zonal Secretary, Jonathan is seen as the best person to unite the PDP and bring peace to Nigeria ahead of 2027.
The coalition, made up of PDP loyalists and support groups from the 19 northern states, also expressed confidence in the leadership of the acting PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagum, praising him for his ongoing reconciliation efforts within the party.
The group urged Damagum to discipline members involved in anti-party activities, accusing some party leaders of working secretly with the ruling APC and undermining the peace process.
They added that the PDP still enjoys strong grassroots support in the North and called on all members to work together and rebuild the party ahead of the next general elections.
