The Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that former President Goodluck Jonathan remains a registered member of the party under its leadership, adding that he recently participated in the party’s digital membership registration exercise.
It stated this against the backdrop a series of campaign posters circulating on social media linking former President Goodluck Jonathan to various political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued on Saturday by the faction’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, the group warned Nigerians against associating Jonathan with any political platform outside the PDP.
The statement, titled “Beware of Fake GEJ Campaign Posters,” said the posters falsely portrayed Jonathan either as a standalone presidential aspirant or paired with other prominent Nigerians as running mates.
“Campaign posters bearing the photographs of President Goodluck Jonathan, either alone or paired with other notable Nigerians as running mate, have emerged and are being circulated widely on social media platforms,” the statement read.
According to the faction, the posters also “falsely portray the former president as a member of the various political parties whose logos appear on them.”
The Turaki-led PDP maintained that Jonathan remains a registered member of the party under its leadership and recently participated in the party’s digital membership registration exercise.
“We state categorically that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a registered member of the Peoples Democratic Party under the capable leadership of Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN,” the statement said.
“He duly registered personally in his ward during the recently concluded digital membership registration exercise — a fact he personally confirmed to members of the Interim National Working Committee during a meeting with him yesterday.”
