The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Cross River State during the 2023 elections, Prof. Sandy Onor, has obtained the party’s presidential nomination form ahead of the 2027 general election.
Onor’s move signals his formal entry into the presidential race, where he is expected to challenge incumbent President Bola Tinubu.
A known ally of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, Onor’s decision is likely to reshape early permutations within the PDP as the party positions itself for the next election cycle.
Although details of his campaign agenda are yet to be fully outlined, his emergence adds to the growing list of political figures expressing interest in the presidency.
Party sources say consultations are ongoing among stakeholders, with Onor expected to intensify engagements across the country in the coming months as he seeks support for his ambition.
