The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has thrown its presidential primary race into chaos following an extraordinary decision regarding former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The topic is trending at the absolute peak of national news streams after the Turaki-led party leadership officially granted Jonathan a comprehensive waiver, exempting him from the mandatory screening requirements usually required of all aspirants ahead of the party's presidential primary election.
The political shift intensified following reports that an internal faction backed by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has aggressively pushed forward to adopt Goodluck Jonathan as the party’s sole presidential candidate.
This sudden move has exposed deep fractures within the main opposition party's leadership, triggering a wave of mixed reactions from political veterans who view this development as a controversial sense of déjà vu for the party's internal democracy.
As rival aspirants within the PDP react to the sudden changes, legal teams and political scientists are closely evaluating the validity of the waiver.
The story remains a massive national trend as citizens track whether Jonathan will accept the sole candidacy to stage a historic return to the presidency under the umbrella party.
