A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Segun Sowunmi, has disclosed that the party’s former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has not informed anybody about contesting in 2027.
He spoke while noting that the PDP is a very structured
political party that does not “dash” its ticket at any level to people.
The former presidential campaign spokesman for Atiku
insisted that candidates must contest in PDP’s primary elections for every
ticket.
Speaking with News Central TV, Sowunmi said: “The PDP is a
very interesting and structured party; we are not like our rivals. We don’t
‘dash’ people the presidential ticket or any other ticket. Every PDP ticket,
from the smallest one — councillor — people have to contest for it in the
primaries, same with the governorship. The Presidency is not any different.
“I have insisted that it’s too early for the PDP to be
talking about the presidential election in 2027. Why? Because we need to fix
the vehicle that will carry everybody there; otherwise, what’s the point? So, I
think it’s a little bit premature.
“In any case, Atiku has not told anybody in clear terms that
he’s going to run; I have asked him twice, with months in between.”
