Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Bode George, has urged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to abandon any plans of contesting in the 2027 presidential election.
In a statement made to newsmen in Ikoyi on Thursday, George, who was speaking on Atiku’s long-standing political career, advised the former presidential candidate to end his 31-year pursuit of the presidency and take on the role of an elder statesman for the sake of posterity.
Atiku, who has contested for the presidency multiple times since 1993, would be 81 years old by 2027. In a viral video shared on social media, George stated, “My advice to Atiku is this.
You will be 81 years old in 2027, and you have been contesting for the presidency since 1993. It is time for you to calm down and act like an elder. Take it easy and leave everything for posterity.”
