The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Northern Support Group has endorsed former President Goodluck Jonathan as its preferred candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The group announced the decision in a communiqué issued after its 8th meeting held in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, between Wednesday and Thursday.

According to the communiqué jointly signed by the group’s Northern Coordinator, Yusuf Abubakar, and North-West Zonal Secretary, Adamu Narayi, Jonathan remains the best option to restore party unity and national cohesion ahead of 2027.

The coalition, which comprises PDP loyalists and support groups from the 19 northern states, also reaffirmed confidence in the leadership of the acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, commending his reconciliation efforts within the party.

The group urged Damagum to take disciplinary action against members allegedly involved in anti-party activities, accusing some party leaders of undermining ongoing reconciliation processes and collaborating with the ruling APC.

It maintained that the PDP still enjoys strong grassroots support in the North and called on members to unite and rebuild the party ahead of the next general elections.

The group also dismissed concerns over Jonathan’s eligibility to contest again, insisting the issue had been resolved and should not be used to distract the party.

It pledged continued loyalty to the PDP and expressed confidence that with collective effort, the party could reclaim power at both national and state levels in 2027.
