The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Kabiru Turaki has opened up on the reason former President Goodluck Jonathan has remained silent despite their declaration that he is their 2027 presidential candidate.

Naija News reports that the faction on Saturday announced the former president as its 2027 presidential candidate in absentia.

Speaking to Punch, the Publicity Secretary of the Turaki-led NWC, Ini Ememobong, stated that Jonathan’s silence was strategic, insisting that the former President was running for the 2027 presidency.

According to him, “You should understand that silence is strategic, just like communication is. Not everyone speaks or acts aggressively.

“Others act using silence. Do you understand? When he was picked as vice president, did he shout to accept? So this character exhibition is clearly in tandem with Jonathan’s usual disposition.

“He has never struggled for public office. He has always been invited to public office. That is what history records for him. So this is not in any way different from the previous path that he has used to ascend to power. Except you proved me wrong.

“So, the former President is our candidate, and until today, the man has not disavowed. All that has happened has been in the open.

“From where we sit and stand, as we have done, we have done our part. So whoever says Jonathan is not running should be willing to be quoted.”
