According to Atiku, he’s currently preoccupied with the pain of Nigerians suffering hunger and all forms of human degradation due to President Bola Tinubu’s policies.
Spark News Daily recalls that a PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) member, Chief Bode George, had remarked that the former governor of Adamawa State should ignore running for the presidency in 2027.
George had counseled him to learn from the United States President Joe Biden and renege any thought of vying for Nigeria’s presidency in 2027.
In his response, Atiku further charged the PDP chieftain to advise Tinubu to reassess his policies which are affecting Nigerians rather than commenting on his political future.
In a statement by his spokesman, Paul Ibe, Atiku said, “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.”
