…as North seeks consensus for ex-VP

Ahead of the forthcoming general elections, Saturday Telegraph has gathered that leaders in the Northern part of the country have moved to ensure that the region presents a consensus presidential candidate.

Sources in the know told our correspondent in separate chats that many leaders in the North are favourably disposed to the candidature of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is the candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Our people have resolved to adopt a consensus candidate for 2023 and the person they have picked is former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the PDP,” the source, who pleaded not to be named, said.

The source, who is a prominent member of the Northern Elders Forum, also stated that prominent leaders in the North have been mounting pressure on the Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to drop his bid for the Adamawa State-born former VP.

“I can tell you that our leaders in the North have commenced moves to pressurise Senator Kwankwaso to drop his presidential bid for Atiku Abubakar in the interest of our people,” the source said.

Findings by our correspondent within the Kwankwaso camp revealed that the former Kano State governor has remained adamant to the pressures being pilled at him, with a vow to go ahead with his bid.

“Madugu (Kwankwaso’s sobriquet) has been bombarded with calls and visitations from prominent leaders in the North to drop his bid for Waziri (Atiku’s traditional title) but he (former Kano governor) has remained adamant,” a source within the NNPP told our correspondent. According to the source, Kwankwaso’s refusal might not be unconnected to the circumstances that led to his exit from the PDP, which people close to him said was very unpalatable.

“It would be difficult for Madugu to support the PDP because of the way some people close to Alhaji Atiku treated him when he was there, so such possibility is very remote,” the source said. When prodded to be more categorical on the options opened to the former minister, the source said, “I think even if he drops his bid, the only person Madugu would back is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.”

If Kwankwaso steps down for Atiku, it will mean Atiku can comfortably come second behind Peter Obi, Tinubu will take a comfortable 3rd position.

2023 is between Peter Obi and Atiku abubakar

That other man in Lagos that deal in drugs in united states is already rejected all around the country

They've left agbado and his agbado progressive Congress behind...

Kwankwaso should not step down for any one

Before nko?

We have been saying this consistently.
Atiku, Nigerian President 2023.

Northerners are smarter.

This can only be news to BAT's supporters. Discerning minds have long known BAT is up to sabotage the chances of the South.

Tinubu is a regional candidate. He can only win SW

As it stands now, a lot of reasonable sw citizens are not Aligning with Tinubu, they see him as a promotion of evil over good, and they have shown that they cannot play ethnic politics in the face of existential dangers for the country Nigeria. The stakes are much higher now.

Tinubu may lose south west. That's how bad it has become.

Kwankwaso being in the race is very vital for Peter Obi to win. With Kwankwaso, Atiku and the Boko Haram sponsor Shettimma all dragging for Northern votes, the major states of the North that usually declare all sorts of outrageous numbers during elections will be torn to shreds in different directions. . Meanwhile Obi has the whole South East and the whole South South to himself, including a large chunk of the middle belt. Atiku, Kwankwaso and Shettimma all command reasonable followings in the far north, so this will be more like when elephants fight..

Kwankwaso must contest!

Step down or steping down for Atiku dose not hole any water.

I don’t think kwankwaso stepping down for atiku would change anything

Atiku needs Kwankwaso so to gain weight because of the troubles with the G5....

But that will never stop him from loosing....

The greed is showing on them.... Kwankwaso is so confused and he literally needs to be president as well but he messed up by refusing to join forces with Peter Obi...


If he lays down his ego to join forces with Atiku, the campaign will make sense oh..... Because it will be sure for Obi.....

PrinceOfLagos:
2023 is between Peter Obi and Atiku abubakar

That other man in Lagos that deal in drugs in united states is already rejected all around the country

over 3million omo ibo who are drug dealers are languishing all over prisons in Asia and other continents ,huge numbers are awaiting death,while millions are dead already.
Instead of you to be worried about them,you are here ranting on tinubu who the US haven’t for once call for investigation.

Hmmm

He will step down for Atiku at the last minute. Labour Party need to work extremely hard to stand any chance.

Peter Obi's university tour should start soon.

Northern votes will be very divided in this coming election and that's good news, they are dumb and select leaders for the wrong reasons (tribe/religion).

If you suppose Atiku and Tinubu In this coming election then you have no right to complain about Buhari because you are part of the problem of this country.

"Our people have resolved to adopt a consensus candidate for 2023 and the person they have picked is former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the PDP,”

What does this mean, hopefully in Nigeria we practice democracy come February the people would elect their choice ; Peter the rock Obi.

Awùsá fool ani fools thinks other tribes are FOOLISH

Since 1960, these savage corrupt BASTARDS have ruled more than 70% of times with nothing to show for it.
Buharî the cow came in to even make things worse.
Now, they still want to play their bigotry games to impose aTHIEFkú, a useless stupid rouge on us.

It will never be well with all of you.
ATHIEFKÚ CAN NEVER WIN NEXT ELECTION!




It is either TiefNUBU WINS OR PANDORA OBÎDIOT.



ANYTHING BESIDES THAT IS SEPARATION!
WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO TOLERATE THIS PARASITIC RELATIONSHIP.

Ok

Lol... Political suicide.

For where?

Do you smoke Marijuana or abuse alcohol?

With or without RMK stepping down, Atiku's time for Presidency is now.

Tinubu eye go soon clear

Peter obi get sense die,d guy made sure even if he fail as governor there is alcohol dere for his people to drink to stupor so as to forget their sorrows n whatever d problem of their region is

They drank to stupor n believe shouting Biafra or death will give them Biafra they even went as far as donating cash to nnamdiot cownu. Later they resorted to killing security operatives,after their vain goose chase they realized they have failed n went back to their alcohol to drink to stupor again

Then they believe their pandora him tu lie will become president,someone they cursed to high heaven during his governance suddenly became an angel all of a sudden today

No b juju b dat?

Even after Buhari did 8 solid years, the northerners are still pushing for another northerner. I've always said it, any southerner that votes for a northerner in the presidential election is a big fool.

Good, The north only knows Atiku....
