Obi is My Preferred Candidate, I will Vote For Him in 2027 Says Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has decided to throw his support behind Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, for the 2027 presidential race. It’s like watching a Nigerian political soap opera unfold, and I must say, it’s quite the plot twist!

In a recent interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Atiku expressed his willingness to back Obi if the PDP nominates him as its candidate for the 2027 presidential elections. Atiku stated, “If the new party decides that it’s the turn of the South-East and Peter Obi is chosen, I won’t hesitate to support him.” Talk about a change of heart!

This political bromance comes after Atiku and Obi met behind closed doors, fueling speculation about a potential coalition among opposition parties aimed at unseating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next general elections. It’s like watching a political version of “The Avengers,” with Atiku and Obi joining forces to take on the big bad APC.

But wait, there’s more! Atiku also mentioned that he would support Obi if the PDP decides to zone the presidential ticket to the South or South-East specifically. “I have said repeatedly, and I even said it before the 2023 general elections that if the PDP decides to zone the presidential ticket to the South or South-East specifically, I won’t contest it.
