A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dan Ulasi,
on Friday warned against the return of former President Goodluck Jonathan to
the party and running for president in 2027.
Ulasi warned that President Bola Tinubu will have an easy
win if Jonathan decides to run for the presidency under the platform of the
PDP.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, the PDP
chieftain disclosed that Jonathan has nothing to offer.
According to Ulasi, if the Southeast produces the president,
that would be the end of the Biafra civil war.
He said: “PDP has to get a candidate from the South which
has to be determined internally… And I think it’s the turn of the Southeast to
produce the president.
“I believe without trying to particularize that the PDP
zones the presidency to the Southeast and a Southeasterner comes out to be
president of this country, we would have achieved one thing, that would be the
end of the civil war officially.
“That would be the first time the people of that zone are
given a sense of belonging. We fought a war losing thousands of souls from both
sides.
“Peter Obi, we are trying to see if we can get him back into
the party and if we get him back it will be a big advantage.
“If a huge majority of people are looking towards Peter Obi,
there must be some qualities he has that the majority of citizens believe that,
if translated into good use, this country will be a lot better than what it is
today.
“He (Jonathan) has done six years and I wish him the best of
luck. If he wants to get back to the party, it will be an easy win for Tinubu
because he has nothing else to offer.”
