BREAKING NEWS: Jonathan receives ADC presidential aspirant, Hayatu-Deen
Former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on Friday received the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential aspirant, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen in Abuja, where both men discussed the state of the nation and the outlook for Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
The meeting, according to a statement issued by Mohammed Hayatu-Deen Media Office on Saturday, reflected the longstanding relationship between the two men, who previously worked together during Jonathan’s administration.
Hayatu-Deen had served as a member of the National Council on Privatization and chaired the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) when Jonathan was Vice President. He also later served on the Presidential Advisory Committee during Jonathan’s tenure as Acting President and subsequently as President.
The statement noted that Hayatu-Deen recently obtained his ADC presidential nomination form from the party’s national secretariat and formally informed Jonathan of his decision to seek the presidency in 2027.
During the visit, Hayatu-Deen praised Jonathan’s contributions to democratic governance and electoral integrity across Africa, describing the former president as a respected statesman on the continent.
Jonathan, in response, warmly welcomed the ADC aspirant and wished him success in his political journey.
Hayatu-Deen’s media office described the economist and banker as a seasoned public and private sector professional whose four-decade career has contributed to job creation and institutional reforms across the country.
The statement added that Hayatu-Deen intends to leverage his experience to address insecurity, reduce the rising cost of living and create employment opportunities for Nigerians if elected president.
