In a surprising political development, posters for Goodluck Jonathan’s 2027 presidential bid have appeared across major roundabouts in Kano. The posters display the message, “Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for President, 2027, He is our Messiah.” This unexpected sight has caught the attention of many residents, raising questions about the individuals or groups behind these posters, as well as their motives.
Although it has become common for Nigerians, especially in Kano, to reflect on and praise Jonathan’s time as president, the appearance of these campaign posters signals a new chapter in Nigerian politics. Jonathan, along with his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, has consistently denied any interest in running for president again. Despite these denials, the sudden appearance of these posters across Kano has sparked curiosity about whether the former president might reconsider his position.
Only time will tell if Jonathan has presidential ambitions or if these posters are simply part of a larger political speculation. For now, the presence of the posters in Kano remains an intriguing development that could alter the political landscape in the run-up to the 2027 elections.
