The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by Kabiru Turaki, met with former President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday in Abuja.
The meeting took place at the former president’s residence in the nation’s capital.
The agenda of the meeting was not disclosed, but TheCable understands the discussion focused on the outcome of a court judgment delivered in a suit instituted by the party’s board of trustees (BoT).
On July 17, the federal high court in Abuja dismissed the suit, which sought to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the Turaki-led interim national working committee (NWC) of the PDP.
In May, the Turaki-led PDP faction announced Jonathan as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election after his candidacy was ratified at a special national convention.
The PDP is polarised into two factions. The group backed by Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is recognised by the electoral umpire.
In another development, GISTSMATE MEDIA reported that Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has distanced the South-East from Governor Hope Uzodinma’s endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term, insisting that the Imo State governor expressed only his personal opinion and cannot speak on behalf of the region or its people.
Otti made the remarks while reacting to Uzodinma’s recent comments supporting President Tinubu’s re-election, stressing that no individual governor has the mandate to commit the entire South-East to any political position.
Speaking during an interview, the Abia governor said decisions on presidential elections ultimately belong to the electorate and not a single political office holder.
“As a governor and as an individual, you can’t speak for everybody,” Otti said. READ MOREÂ
