In a communiqué issued after its meeting in Birnin Kebbi, the group described Jonathan as “the only man capable of redeeming the PDP and restoring Nigeria’s unity.” It called for a coordinated media campaign, especially in the North, to mobilise support for his candidacy and promote the party’s renewed agenda.

The group reaffirmed confidence in PDP National Chairman Umar Damagum, commending his reconciliation efforts but warning against party leaders allegedly working with the ruling APC. It urged disciplinary action against members engaged in anti-party activities.

According to the group’s coordinator, Yusuf Abubakar, “Dr. Jonathan remains a symbol of peace and stability who never abandoned the PDP. He is the man to restore hope.”

They dismissed concerns about his eligibility to contest, saying the matter had long been resolved. The group also insisted that the PDP still enjoys strong grassroots support in the North and urged members to unite ahead of the general election.

Jonathan’s potential return has reportedly sparked internal debate within the PDP over the party’s choice of candidate for the next election.
