Supporters of the emerging coalition movement are reportedly intensifying their efforts to bring former President Goodluck Jonathan on board as they prepare for the 2027 elections. According to informed sources, Jonathan’s inner circle is being actively courted through a series of “well-coordinated” overtures .
Prominent figures in these coalition talks include former Senate President David Mark and ex-Kaduna governor Nasir el‑Rufai, both slated to hold discussions with Jonathan later this week. Mark is also poised to assume the role of acting national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a key party within the prospective alliance .
Behind the scenes, a trusted House of Representatives member and ally from the Green Movement has brokered a reconciliation among Bayelsa State’s political heavyweights—two ex-governors and a high-ranking NDDC official—smoothing tensions that once threatened unity . With this regional harmony in place, coalition strategists are more optimistic about securing Jonathan’s endorsement—even while his wife, Patience, has made it clear he plans to stay out of the 2027 race .
