Jonathan’s Big Comeback! 10+ Support Groups Scramble to Buy N100M PDP Form as GEJ Reportedly Eyes 2027 Return

ABUJA, NIGERIA – The political landscape in Nigeria is shifting once again as reports emerge that former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ) is seriously considering a return to Aso Rock. Unlike the 2022 "will-he-won't-he" drama involving the APC, sources close to the Otuoke-born statesman indicate that he has finalized plans to seek the presidency under the platform of his former home, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The N100 Million Race

Following the news of his possible return, a massive scramble has broken out among political support groups. With the PDP’s presidential nomination form pegged at a whopping N100 million, at least ten different organizations are currently racing to be the one to present the form to Jonathan before the looming Tuesday deadline.

From the diaspora-based "Goodluckan Movement" to the "Almajiri Network," these groups claim that Jonathan's leadership is the only solution to the rising hardship and inflation currently facing the nation. Tomorrows Best has learned that many of these groups have already pledged to raise the full amount independently to show their commitment.

The Groups Fighting to Buy the GEJ Form

The competition is stiff, with northern coalitions and diaspora movements all claiming the "right" to sponsor the former President's comeback. Here is a breakdown of the key players reported by Tomorrows Best:

Group Name	Primary Base	Key Argument
Goodluckan Movement	Diaspora / Global	Represents Nigerians worldwide.
The New Nigeria	Mass-based (Northern Nigeria)	Sees GEJ as a bridge builder.
Almajiri Network	Northern Grassroots	Recalls his educational reforms.
Coalition for Jonathan	Youth Movements	Focused on economic revamp.

Why "This Time is Different"

Critics point to 2022 when a northern group bought an APC form for Jonathan, only for him to disown it. However, Tomorrows Best sources suggest three reasons why 2027 is a "serious" run:

• Legal Strategy: Jonathan has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja to dismiss suits seeking to bar him from contesting.
• Online Registration: PDP factional spokesperson, Ini Ememobong, confirmed Jonathan has already completed his online party registration.
• Hardship Factor: His camp believes Nigerians are now more nostalgic for the "GEJ era" economic stability.

Blogger Insight: With the PDP currently factionalized, Jonathan’s entry could either serve as a unifying force or deepen the cracks. The court’s decision on whether he can serve a "third" term (given his 2010-2015 tenure) will be the ultimate decider.

Is Goodluck Jonathan the "Messiah" the PDP needs for 2027?
