A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), Ayekooto Akindele, has mocked former vice president Atiku Abubakar over refusal of Peter Obi of the Labour Party, as his presidential running mate in 2027.
Akindele said that Atiku is desperately looking for a running mate from the Southern part of Nigeria.
He added that Atiku’s options are now limited to Timi Frank, Bode George, Debo Ologbondiyan, Rotimi Amaechi, and Tom Ikimi.
Akindele said: “With the high possibility of Obi’s refusal, Atiku is desperately shopping for a southern running mate and since he cannot get any SS governor to accept and to fund him, his options are limited to Timi Frank, AdeDancer, Bode George, Ologbondiyan, Amaechi or Tom Ikimi.”
DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS reports that the development is coming, amid a recent Obi’s refusal to accept coalition from opposition groups.
It would be recalled that the former governor of Anambra State said that he will only join coalition against bad governance, hunger, and poverty, not personal political ambition.
