The posters, branded with the slogan, “Team New Nigeria 2027: The Goodluck Nigeria Needs—Dr. Goodluck Jonathan,” were strategically displayed at high-traffic areas, including the Gyadi-Gyadi/Zoo Road flyover, Kofar Nasarawa, and State Road.
The campaign appears to be spearheaded by a political movement known as Team New Nigeria (TNN), which has recently ramped up its activities across the country.
TimesNow.com.ng on Tuesday, December 3, reported that this group had previously initiated a departure from the ruling party, signalling intentions to establish a new political movement.
The group emphasized the need for a shift in Nigeria’s political culture, citing widespread dissatisfaction with Tinubu’s governance.
In a more deliberate effort, while addressing journalists in Kano, TNN leader Modibbo Yakubu Farakwai explained that the group’s efforts are driven by public demand for transformative leadership, Daily Trust reported.
Farakwai also disclosed that TNN has established a harmonisation committee in Kano State and is in the process of registering as a political party with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The group claims to have mobilised 26,382,000 registered voters across Nigeria and has developed essential party structures, including a flag, logo, constitution, and manifesto.
While TNN has openly promoted Jonathan as its preferred candidate, it remains uncertain whether the former president has endorsed the movement.
Efforts to reach his spokesperson, Okechukwu Eze, for comment, were unsuccessful at the time of this report.
Jonathan has previously faced similar circumstances. In 2022, his supporters controversially purchased nomination forms under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 elections—a move he later distanced himself from.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Accord Party has declared its determination to reshape Nigeria’s political landscape in the 2027 general elections.
Specifically, the party vowed to reclaim Nigeria from the grip of the current administration led by President Bola Tinubu.
