A media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibeh, has said the former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate is serious about contesting the 2027 presidential election.
Ibeh disclosed this in a post on X on Tuesday while
responding to a question raised by human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong on
whether Atiku was genuinely preparing for another presidential bid.
Effiong had asked on X: “Is @atiku really serious about
contesting for the presidency in 2027?”
According to Ibeh, Atiku is currently engaging leaders,
stakeholders and members of the African Democratic Congress over the viability
of his candidacy ahead of the 2027 election.
He stated that if Atiku eventually emerges as the party’s
presidential candidate, he would require the support of Nigerians to defeat
President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress administration.
Ibeh wrote: “Yes, @atiku is really serious about contesting
for the presidency in 2027, @InibeheEffiong. He is currently engaging the
leaders, stakeholders and members of the @ADCNig on the viability of his
candidacy.
“When he eventually emerges as the presidential candidate of
the ADC, he will need everyone, including you to oust the Tinubu-led APC
administration and pave the way for the rebuilding of Nigeria made desolate by
Tinubu’s urban bandits.
“No matter how big an iroko tree, it can never be a forest.
It will need other trees – big and small – and even shrubs to be a forest. The
question is, are Nigerians prepared to leave the Biblical Egypt of slavery and
suffering that Tinubu has turned our country into?”
