Fredrick Agbedi, a House of Representatives member representing Bayelsa State, has called on Nigerians to applaud the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for encouraging former President Goodluck Jonathan to make a political comeback.

Regarding the former president’s potential candidacy, Agbedi remarked:

• The PDP has repeatedly discussed Jonathan’s potential run, and the internal processes are nearly finished.

• He is currently in possession of the official Certificate of Return, which is intended for presentation to Jonathan.

• Given Jonathan’s track record of “credible transformation” during his tenure, Agbedi argued that citizens should support the PDP’s efforts to nominate him as a solution to Nigeria’s current challenges.

• Emphasizing the spirit of national service, Agbedi questioned the opposition to Jonathan’s potential return, asking where else a dedicated leader should serve if not for the betterment of his own country.

• He confirmed that should Jonathan choose to run, it would be under the banner of the PDP.

Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege recently alleged that Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) due to fears regarding electoral competition. Speaking on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Wednesday, Omo-Agege claimed the Governor’s decision was motivated by political survival rather than ideological alignment. The former senator specifically asserted, “Oborevwori chickened out from the PDP to the APC because I am a threat” in anticipation of the 2027 elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Highlighting the APC’s performance during his leadership in the 2023 elections, Omo-Agege noted that the party secured two of the three senatorial seats in Delta State. He further emphasized his influence by pointing out his victory in Delta Central, where he claimed to have defeated the governor’s candidate by a margin of roughly 15,000 votes. Omo-Agege also attributed the recent wave of defections from the PDP to the APC to his post-election mobilization efforts across the state. Despite the Governor’s shift in party affiliation, Omo-Agege expressed confidence in his political influence and remains certain of his electoral base leading into 2027.
