2023: Afegbua Dumps Atiku, Roots For Southern Presidential Candidate by wwwihy(op): 2:36pm On Jan 23, 2022
Former spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation in the 2019 elections and ex- Information Commissioner in Edo state, Prince Kassim Afegbua has urged the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to look beyond the former Vice President and cede its Presidential ticket to the South ahead of the 2023 general election.


Afegbua who played a prominent role in the crisis that led to the suspension of former PDP national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus also tasked the National Working Committee, NWC of the party led by Senator Iyorchia Ayu to leverage on its good start by going South to get its Presidential flag bearer in the next elections.

Premising his stand on the need for fairness and equity, the PDP chieftain also fingered Atiku’s age as a factor the party should consider, urging it to dump the former Vice President for a much younger candidate.

In a statement entitled, “2023: Atiku and the age of Methusalah politics,” Afegbua warned Atiku to give younger Nigerians a chance lest he wears the tag of “a perpetual or professional candidate.”

The statement read in part, “With the abysmal performance of President Muhammadu Buhari on account of age, incompetence and lack of capacity and political will to take deliberate and sustained action to bail out the country from all manner of challenges, it will be immoral for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to continue to express interest in seeking election in the 2023 Presidential election having attained the retirement age.

After eight years of PMB, the slot ought to automatically come to the South.
SE, SW or SS.
But they will be busy plotting against themselves.
I pray our vote counts by then
The masses will decide

If Tinubu is made President, it means

Buhari-Muslim 8 Years
Tinubu- Muslim 8 years
Power shifts to the north
Another Muslim- 8 years

This equals to 24 years in a multi-religious country.

TINUBU IS A NO NO

The right thing for every southerner to do across party divide. It’s such a shame we still have southerners from a certain part of the country who are too blinded to see this. They think they are doing the south west without knowing they are doing themselves.

Anyway, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the next president of Nigeria is coming from the south. All reasonable Nigerians will endure this is done. Those who have invested their political survival in Atiku will cry again in 2023.

Too early for that especially with no better southern candidate found. undecided

I definitely won’t rule out Atiku yet even though I want an Igbo or southern president.

While age is an important factor it’s not a deal breaker especially if the person is still agile, with no health concerns and capable of necessary good decision making skills.

A younger candidate with no sense is useless and a southerner with no pedigree to pull a nationwide support is waste of time.

Raymond Dokpesi and other PDP cheftains have already taken Atiku's caimpaign train to Southeast. It's hard to see anyone in PDP stopping Atiku.

Any candidate from them SOUTH?

The North WILL STILL WIN.
Power stays in the North for the next 20 years.

Tinubu don buy cemetery with bullion van to take make farm. ✅

See Kassim Afegbua wey don do Northern boy-boy for over 50 years? cheesy Now he don know say “SOUTH” dey for Naija? shocked

GOOOOOOOO TIKKKKKKKKKU!!!!!

You know one thing abt Igbo ehn.. they so much do things that shoot themselves in the leg in the name of trying to do vegeance. How can someone be saying if they don't get it then power goes back North, no b for this South we dey, people are making workable alignment now u won't see them rather watering the seed of stupidity.

Do they even think of the outcome of their doings if they failed in their attempt of humiliating SW? grin no they dont.

I've just prayed them to finish what they've started, [quote][/quote]et them not support southern Presidency if it's not coming to SE, but they should shaa pray they win that journey. Win or lose I'm very sure they are leaving SW, I doubt if Oni and Co elders will speak for them.. The seed of unappreciated days is over. E don do.

I'm very sure they had the largest population in PDP Lagos defection yesterday. Very useless set of ungrateful spirit.
