Bury Your 2027 Presidential Ambition, Stop Romancing Peter Obi – PDP Chieftain Tells Atiku

The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ebonyi State, Comrade Richard Nwafor, has urged 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar against pursuing a candidacy in the 2027 general election.

Mr. Nwafor expressed displeasure over recent speculation regarding Atiku’s intentions to seek the presidency in 2027.

He said: “Since the dinner in Yola, Adamawa State, I decided to keep mute and watch as it unfolds.

“However, let it be very clear to those concerned that His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, a man I respect so much, should bury the idea of a 2027 presidential ambition and support a southerner instead of romancing Obi when the two of them couldn’t reach an agreement on or before the 2023 election.

“This opinion is personal and doesn’t represent the generality of my office.

“Those close to His Excellency should relate my message to him because the 2027 presidential ticket needs to be zoned to the southern part of Nigeria despite all odds.

“We need fresh people to mount the podium of leadership in our great Party (PDP).”
