Jonathan Unlikely to Risk Legacy for 2027 Bid, Says Edem Duke
Edem Duke has dismissed talk of former President Goodluck Jonathan returning to active politics ahead of the 2027 election. He described suggestions of a comeback as misguided and warned against subjecting Jonathan’s reputation to political calculations. Speaking on a television programme, Duke praised Jonathan’s tenure as one of the defining periods in Nigeria’s democracy. He argued that the former president’s stature as a statesman extends beyond electoral contests and should not be treated as a political pawn. Duke added that Jonathan understands the implications of reigniting political ambition and is unlikely to risk his hard-earned legacy by pursuing another presidential run in 2027.
