There Is No Second Term For Tinubu? Opposition Intensifies As Jonathan’s 2027 Posters Surface In Kano

Campaign posters featuring former President Goodluck Jonathan have appeared in strategic locations across Kano State, fuelling speculation about his potential return to the political arena as a presidential contender in the 2027 elections.....Read Full Article>>

The posters, prominently displayed at high- traffic areas such as the Gyadi- Gyadi/Zoo Road flyover, Kofar Nasarawa, and State Road, carry the slogan: ” Team New Nigeria 2027: The Goodluck Nigeria Needs— Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.”

Their presence has stirred political discourse, with many interpreting the move as a deliberate signal of Jonathan’ s interest in re- entering the race for Nigeria’ s presidency. Despite the growing buzz, Jonathan himself has remained silent on the matter, with his spokesperson, Okechukwu Eze, declining to offer any comments. However, this is not the first time such an incident has occurred.

During the build- up to the 2023 elections, some of Jonathan’ s supporters purchased presidential nomination forms under the All Progressives Congress (APC) banner, an action he eventually distanced himself from.

The current campaign is being driven by Team New Nigeria (TNN), a political movement that has been intensifying its activities nationwide. Led by Modibbo Yakubu Farakwai, TNN has positioned itself as a grassroots organisation advocating for a fresh approach to governance and political leadership in Nigeria.

Speaking on the campaign, Farakwai explained that the group’ s actions are motivated by widespread public demand for transformative leadership. ” Nigerians are hungry for change and yearning for a new party with new faces to drive that change. They want a transformation in the culture and efficacy of governance at all levels, ” Farakwai said.

TNN has made significant strides in establishing itself as a political force, including setting up a harmonisation committee in Kano State. The group is also in the process of registering as a political party with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to Farakwai, TNN has mobilised a remarkable 26, 382, 000 registered voters across the country. It has also developed key party structures, including a constitution, logo, flag, and manifesto.
