Ganduje paid a courtesy visit to Jonathan, with a video of the meeting circulating online on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
The meeting has attracted attention coming at a time when political manoeuvring is gradually intensifying ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Neither Jonathan nor Ganduje was reported in the source as having publicly disclosed the purpose or details of their discussion.
The meeting comes days after Jonathan expressed confidence in APC candidates contesting the Bayelsa East election ahead of the 2027 polls.
The former president spoke at his residence in Yenagoa when a delegation led by former Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah, visited him.
The delegation included the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Samuel Ogbuku, and the Bayelsa State APC Chairman, Warman Weri Ogoriba.
According to the report, the purpose of the visit was to introduce the APC candidates to Jonathan, who remains a prominent political figure from Bayelsa East.
Jonathan’s comments on the Bayelsa East contest have added to the attention surrounding his recent political engagements, particularly as parties and politicians begin positioning themselves for the 2027 electoral cycle.
Ganduje, who served as governor of Kano State before becoming national chairman of the APC, visited Jonathan in Abuja as part of what was described as a courtesy call.
The encounter brings together two prominent figures with significant political experience at a period when Nigeria’s political landscape is beginning to take shape ahead of the next general election.
While the meeting has generated interest, the source did not indicate whether the discussion was linked to any specific political alliance, campaign arrangement or 2027 presidential strategy.
For now, the meeting remains a notable encounter between two experienced politicians as attention increasingly shifts towards the 2027 elections.
