Former President Goodluck Jonathan is currently in a closed-door meeting with Senator David Mark, the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), at Mark’s residence in Abuja on Thursday.
The meeting followed a high-profile coalition session earlier in the day, which brought together opposition heavyweights, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-governors Aminu Tambuwal, Nasir El-Rufai, and Abdulfatah Ahmed.
While the details of Jonathan’s discussions with Mark remain undisclosed, the meeting has sparked speculation about its significance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Observers suggest it may be part of broader consultations aimed at repositioning the opposition for a united front.
Jonathan, widely regarded as a statesman and mediator, has been rumored to be considering a return to the presidential race, with growing calls from northern political blocs who view him as a unifying figure.
Atiku Abubakar shared images of the coalition meeting earlier, describing it as a gathering of “the Nigerian people against oligarchs who promote poverty and insecurity.”
This development has further fueled political buzz surrounding Jonathan’s potential role in shaping the opposition’s strategy for 2027.
