The Tanimu Turaki-led factional national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, held a strategic meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday.
This comes less than 48 hours after Jonathan disclosed that he was consulting on the possibility of running for the presidency in 2027.
Jonathan made the remark while addressing a group of Nigerians in front of his office in Abuja on Thursday.
The group had visited the former president to urge him to contest the 2027 presidential election.
However, the former president told the group that vying for the presidency was “not a computer game,” hence the need for wide consultations before deciding on whether to contest in 2027.
“You are asking me to come and contest the next election. The presidential race is not a computer game. But I’ve heard you, and I’ll consult widely,” he said.
