2027 presidency: Goodluck Jonathan’s posters flood Kano
2027 presidency: Goodluck Jonathan’s posters flood Kano
Campaign posters featuring former President Goodluck Jonathan have flooded major locations in Kano state, sparking speculation about a potential bid for the presidency in 2027.
The posters, strategically displayed at high-traffic areas such as the Gyadi-Gyadi/Zoo Road flyover, Kofar Nasarawa, and State Road, bear the slogan “Team New Nigeria 2027: The Goodluck Nigeria Needs—Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.”
The latest move is seen as a clear indication of Jonathan’s potential interest in the presidency, although his spokesperson, Okechukwu Eze, has yet to comment on the matter.
Jonathan previously faced similar circumstances, with his supporters purchasing nomination forms under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 elections—a move he later distanced himself from.

The recent campaign is spearheaded by a political movement known as Team New Nigeria (TNN), which has been ramping up its activities across the country. TNN leader Modibbo Yakubu Farakwai explained that the group’s efforts are driven by 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 established a harmonisation committee in Kano State and is in the process of registering as a political party with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The group claims to have mobilised 26,382,000 registered voters across Nigeria and has developed essential party structures, including a flag, logo, constitution, and manifesto.

This publication earlier reported that security has been heightened at the premises, to avoid any disruption of activities. A police lorry has been stationed outside the main gate, and personnel are working alongside the PDP’s regular security team to search workers and visitors before granting them entry into the building.
