The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has said he’s not preoccupied with the 2027 presidency currently.
Atiku said he’s currently preoccupied with the plight of
Nigerians suffering hunger and deprivation due to President Bola Tinubu’s
policies.
The former Vice President was responding to a remark by the
PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) member, Chief Bode George, that he should ignore
running for the presidency in 2027.
George had advised Atiku to take a cue from United States
President Joe Biden and bury any thought of vying for Nigeria’s presidency in
2027.
However, Atiku charged the PDP chieftain to advise Tinubu to
reassess his policies affecting Nigerians and not comment on his political
future.
A statement by his spokesman, Paul Ibe, reads: “We cannot
afford to put the cart before the horse. At this point, Atiku Abubakar’s
preoccupation is not 2027. His concern is about 2024.
“It is about 2025 and 2026 and beyond. His concern is about
the plight of Nigerians who are literarily going through hell because of the
failed trial-and-error policies of this administration.
“The average citizen, and indeed all Nigerians, need to
survive the tsunami that has become the administration of President Bola
Tinubu.
“It is insensitive to be talking about 2027 now when the
2023 mandate has not yielded any tangible benefits for Nigerians, who are now
far worse off in every facet of life.
“Bode George himself should also turn his attention to
counselling Tinubu to reassess some of his ill-advised policies that have
deepened poverty and divisions in our country instead of prioritising the
politics of 2027.”
