Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, on Thursday, stirred Nigeria’s political landscape as he paid a private visit to the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, at his Abuja residence.
Although the details of their closed-door discussions remain undisclosed, political watchers believe the meeting is not unconnected with ongoing consultations and alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Jonathan, who vacated office in 2015 after losing his re-election bid, has largely maintained a statesmanlike role. However, his renewed engagements with prominent political figures are rekindling debates about a possible return to the nation’s highest office.
Senator Mark, a seasoned statesman and former Senate President, now steering the ADC’s national leadership, is seen as a strategic player in shaping the future of opposition politics. Analysts suggest that the ADC could be positioning itself as a rallying platform for alliances and coalitions that may challenge the ruling party’s dominance in 2027.
Photos of the meeting, already circulating across social media platforms, have fueled widespread speculation, with many Nigerians awaiting clarifications or official statements from both camps.
As the political atmosphere heats up, the nation watches closely — with Jonathan’s latest moves adding fresh intrigue to what promises to be a fiercely contested road to 2027.
