Campaign posters promoting former President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2027 presidential election have surfaced in parts of northern Nigeria, sparking fresh political speculation ahead of the next general election, Blueprint gathered.
The posters, which appeared overnight in key locations across Kaduna, Kano and Katsina, carried slogans suggesting a possible return to national politics for the former Nigerian leader who served from 2010 to 2015.
In Kaduna, several of the posters were sighted along the busy Ahmadu Bello Way and around the popular Kawo Bridge, drawing the attention of commuters and residents early Monday morning.
The posters bore inscriptions such as “One Term to Reset, One Nation to Unite” and “2027: Sai Maimalfa,” fuelling conversations among political observers and residents about the possibility of Jonathan returning to the presidential race.
A group identified as the GEJ Restoration Movement claimed responsibility for the posters, describing the action as part of a grassroots effort aimed at encouraging the former president to consider another run for office.
According to the group, Jonathan remained a unifying figure who could help address the country’s political divisions and economic challenges if he returns to leadership.
However, there has been no official statement from the former president regarding the posters or any intention to contest the 2027 election.
The development has also generated reactions within political circles, with some analysts suggesting that the appearance of the posters reflects growing political realignments ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Meanwhile, supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have downplayed the development, describing it as routine political activity often seen years before
