Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has said he will consult widely before deciding whether to contest the 2027 presidential election, amid growing speculation over his political future.
Jonathan made the remark while responding to calls from supporters urging him to return to active politics ahead of the next general election. He noted that any decision on a possible bid would require broad consultations with political stakeholders, associates, and Nigerians across the country.
The former president, who led Nigeria from 2010 to 2015, did not officially declare his intention to run but said discussions were ongoing. His comments have continued to fuel debate within political circles over the possibility of a major comeback in 2027.
Jonathan remains a prominent figure in Nigerian politics and diplomacy, often involved in peace and election observation missions across Africa.
