…set to tour Oyo Jan 19, lines up visits to other G-5 govs’ states

The camp of a former Vice President of the country and Presidential Candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has resolved to go for broke in the current crisis rocking the party ahead of the forthcoming General Election scheduled for next month.

Sources within the party told Saturday Telegraph that Atiku who has been under serious pressure from his supporters to damn the aggrieved governors and other stakeholders in the party by wielding the big stick is considering the suggestion. Although the Adamawa- born politician had in the past refused to yield to the pressure, he has however opted to move against Governor Nyesom Wike and his four colleagues considering the fact that elections are a few weeks away.

“Alhaji Atiku is gradually tilting to the advice of party leaders who have been calling on him to rein in Wike and his group. “He has been reluctant to act in the past thinking that reason will prevail but all that has changed considering the fact that elections are a few weeks away.

“The thinking within the campaign organisation and the camp as we speak today is that we need to know those for us and those against us so that we can properly plan and deploy election logistics for the election,” a source who is sufficiently close to the former number two man, said.

On what might happen should the party fail to reach a truce among all the warring elements within it, the source who pleaded not to be mentioned said, “We will retaliate if they (G-5 governors) work against us.” According to the source, the Atiku camp is working on several measures to ensure that many of these states which are traditionally catchment areas for PDP remain so, notwithstanding the disposition of the governors who ought to be PDP leaders in their respective states.

“What we are going to do is to extract commitments from the governors and where they fail we work with other chieftains in the various states to deliver the Waziri in their various states. “Not only that, we are watching each one of them to see who will work against us. Whoever does among them will be made to suffer the same fate in other elections where they have their interest by working against their candidates in return,” the source said. He added that the campaign council will go ahead to campaign in G-5 Governors’ states should the G-5 Governors refuse to change their stance against the Atiku candidature.

This fact was confirmed by a former Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, who in a telephone chat on Friday confirmed to our correspondent that Atiku is billed to stop over in Ibadan on Thursday, January 19, 2023. “We (Oyo State chapter of the PDP) are expecting to host Waziri Adamawa on January 19,” the former minister said, adding that the last solidarity walk embarked upon by members during week was to shore up support for all PDP candidates including Atiku Abubakar.

Have said it many times and am going to say it again here. I don't know what is happening politically in the other 4 states but in Oyo State, if Makinde should try and work against Atiku, he will not find it funny. Virtually everyone in PDP that can make Makinde to win his re-election are pro Atiku. If devil want to finish him, he should just campaign for Tinubu. That's the end of his political career.

All man for himself but I’m only voting for Peter Obi, what about you?




These people are too old to rule this country I even heard TINUBU wants to continue from where buhari stopped

Noted.

A case of being pushed to the wall...now he will fight back...though I support Obi but Atiku u may need to fight back now

Wow

Wike is a weak traitor

author=Skty post=11979hnm8587]Y

I can not imagine Wike and his misguided cohorts backing a druggie..

I swear to god, Atiku is 1billion times better than Tinubu

Person never stand finish yet you wan stop other people from Standing.

You want to work against 5 people who you can't stand without them?

Talk about last kick of a dying horse.

See Atiku clinging to any straw just to stay afloat

Is G5 the Presidential candidate

Ok na

How will he work against them? They have nothing to lose except Seyi Makinde who wants second term

Ok, I think G 5 governors are making a mistake, that's the problem we have with our Nigerian politicians, they hit the polity unnecessarily, they should have kept quite and act cold. Naturally, LP will take the southern states, so, why the noise?
However, Atiku won't do anything, is he the INEC chairman or who?
He can only do something when he becomes the president.

Eedi tii dii PDP

That party is jinxed!!! Or Karma is truly a terrible bitch.

How can Atiku watch 5 heavy weight governors leave this party at the eve of election of not village people


Jonathan lost too due to same thing, never under estimate those who cam cause you serious problems, that nigga needs to step down from chairmanship position of not pdp go see shege

Anyway am not a fan of the party any longer

It's governors that fund elections, Rivers state funded PMB to power. AA has to calm down, any attempt to suspend the governors from the party will lead to open confrontation. Emperor Wike will deal AA and PDP.
Who have noticed Presidential PDP campaign is weak, no much fanfare. No funds

Ok

I support whatever will make Atiku and Tinubu to retire from active Politics

You are 100% correct. All the former senators, former Minister and other key pdp stakeholders are with Atiku in oyo state. Makinde was no body before pdp made. Tinubu tried with everything humanly possible to win that election.
Infact former governor lost his life because that.

He’s a loser either ways.

On Election Day Obidient will vote for Atiku because of hate on TINUBU coz they know PO don’t have any chance.

BAT is the next president

Atiku is too distracted to work against anyone.

Let them continue playing ludo with Nigerians future. If our mumu don do we go take our country back. Some people post about one old man working hard with old age forgetting that in a saner country, na free monthly money them go dey pay ham .... Useless greedy Nigerians politians

O jebi he should work for the opposition before ... radarada

Make una do this election make e go abeg.

Not like Nigeria will change

true….I hate when someone start feeling too important when the world doesn’t revolve around you!!

Failed mission

G5 governors are all from the South. Atiku has no base in those areas so how the hell will he be able to work against them?

Nonsense, Atiku can't do more than a dead rat.
