The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ebonyi State, Comrade Richard Nwafor, has urged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar not to think of joining the presidential race in 2027.
Nwafor, in a chat with journalists yesterday in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, suggested that the PDP should zone its presidential ticket to the southern part of Nigeria come the 2027 elections. He recalled that Atiku ran in the 2023 presidential race under the PDP platform and failed.
He noted that several efforts were made in 2023 by the PDP faithful, especially those from the southern part of the country, to convince Atiku to allow the southern members of the party to pick up the presidential ticket, stressing that the idea would have strengthened the spirit of equity, fairness, and social justice in the party. Nwafor said, 'Since the dinner in Yola, Adamawa State, I decided to keep mute and watch as it unfolds.
