The Yoruba Elders’ Union has promised to rally support and canvass for votes for the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, whom they say would recover Nigeria.

The move by the Yoruba elders might further promote the candidacy of the PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar
Meanwhile, the move by the southwest leaders may adversely affect the chances of the APC flagbearer, Bola Tinubu and LP flagbearer, Peter Obi, in the forthcoming presidential election
A socio-cultural group of Yoruba leaders under the aegis of the Yoruba Elders’ Union (YEU) has declared support for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

The Yoruba leaders urged all well-meaning Nigerians to vote for the former two-term Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria during the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.

Professor Muhammad Omolaja, the president of the Union, said that YEU considered all the presidential candidates from various political parties using, among other things, criteria such as competence, experience, health, and general acceptability of the candidates, a report by Daily Times confirmed.

What Atiku stands for Omolaja said that Abubakar Atiku stands out among the presidential candidates as regards competence and health.

Reno Omokri, one of the prominent chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a strong supporter of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, has pulled some stunts.

Omokri took to his Twitter page on Wednesday evening to state that if Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential flagbearer, could not lift people out of poverty when he was the governor of Anambra, how would he do that at the national level?

The former presidential aide then declared that if Bola Tinubu, the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had said that, Nigerians would have fallen for it.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the APC presidential campaign council has rejected the outcome of the Nextier poll that predicted victory for Peter Obi of the Labour Party in the 2023 election.

Bayo Onanuga, the media director of the APC PCC, alleged that the Patrick Okigbo-led organisation has some hidden agenda.

Onanuga stated that the 3000 sampling sample of the poll is very poor for an election where over 90 million people have registered to vote.

We Yorubas are divided into two - one part is surpporting Peter Obi while the other part is surpporting Atiku. We have zero tolerance for Tinubu's style of politics.

Tinubu ti jented ti o mo I want to see how thugs and cultists will make him president.

SoBright101:
They play

if not Tinubu, it must be Obi. So, stop disturbing yourself. The presidency is coming to south. No to fulanization(RUGA).

The fact that the cabal are making live unbearable for the masses just to make way for Atiku indicates the fulanization agenda is still intact.

We yoruba Christians will never vote Tinubu on Muslim-Muslim ticket because we are not fools. When MURIC terrorists told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christians, they all agree.

So mumuric represent Yoruba muslims. I don't need anyone to tell me you're an impersonator.

Humanity first before religion in southwest part of this country.

Christians are not minorities, slaves, or second class citizens in Nigeria. Mu-Mu ticket is a big insult to we Yoruba Christians and we shall punish Tinubu for that before Satan will also purnish him.

The more reason why i chose to support Tinubu. You haven't convince me how better your candidate is but cheap blackmailing of Tinubu. Name calling, character assassination is not enough to convince someone like me.

People now know where all these attacks are coming from. Don't think your identity is hidden.

No matter how you express your beef and anger against Peter Obi there are facts you cannot change which include;

1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.

2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years over 230 roads

3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.

4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.

5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.

6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.

7. When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.

You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.
